We see from your search that you're looking for information on the term "Substrates",
and we have a large number of manufacturers' news releases and technical articles here on Engineeringtalk which will be of interest.
Let me be your guide.
Start with
the news release Adhesives complement fixing portfolio from
Anixter Components, which we summarised at the time by saying "Rite-Lok cyanoacrylate and anaerobic adhesives are fast and easy to use, and form strong bonds to secure components firmly in place".
A couple of weeks before,
we featured the news release Vinyl films suit transfers on challenging surfaces from
Hexis USA: "HX10000 cast vinyl adhesive suits long-term applications on complex and compound curved surfaces such as full vehicle wraps".
In January 2008, we covered the news from Renishaw
- take a look at Trace detection technology wins award
which says: "A spin-out recognition award recognised D3 for its work on trace detection used in drug development, forensic science and medical diagnostics".
Take a look also at the news release from Master Bond, Single-component epoxy is easy to handle,
as well as Laser measurement registers printing success from Renishaw,
and Slimline encoders claim world record from Zettlex Printed Technologies.
