Hydrogen Gas Generation from the Corrosion of Iron in Cementitious Environments • Members of the Steering Committee of the Working Party • Technical Topics of the Working Party Annotation This book chronicles the proceedings of the International Symposium on Adhesion Measurement of Films and Coatings, held in Boston. The articles in this book were previously published in three special issues of the Journal of Adhesion Science and Technology. Films and coatings are used for a variety of purposes and their adequate adhesion to the underlying substrates is of cardinal importance from practical consideration. In the last two decades there has been brisk activity in devising new ways to measure adhesion or ameliorating the existing techniques Covers the corrosion related problems inherent in the various concepts of waste disposal which may result from different geological conditions of the host formations. Papers investigate the importance of engineered barriers; high strength corrosion resistant candidate nuclear waste containers; disposal of heat generating radioactive wastes in rock salt; advanced corrosion studies on packaging materials for high level waste containers in rock salt; carbon steel and copper canisters and hydrogen gas generation from iron corrosion in cementitious environments. This book, a good testimonial to the brisk activity in the arena of adhesion measurement, embodies the proceedings of the International Symposium on Adhesion Measurement of Films and Coatings held in Boston.
