When you imagine the assembly line at an auto plant, you probably picture weldingmachines, rivets, bolts and screws fastening all the parts of a car together. You might be surprised to learn that many automakers are using glue to bond some parts together on modern vehicles. This isn't the kind of glue you'll find in a school kid's backpack, or the kind of car glue that you might use to assemble a plastic model -- automotive structural adhesives are advanced materials called epoxies that can be customized to bond to almost any surface and endure a wide range of temperature extremes.
