A fastener comprises a threaded surface and an adhesive composition at least partially disposed on the threaded surface. The adhesive composition includes an inorganic compound comprising at least one Group 1 metal and at least one Group 13 element and/or Group 14 element. The inorganic compound is present in an amount of at least about 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the adhesive composition. A method of making the (coated) fastener comprises the steps of providing a fastener, providing the adhesive composition, and applying the adhesive composition to at least a portion of the threaded surface of the fastener. A method of joining adjacent elements comprises the steps of providing the adjacent elements, providing the fastener, and disposing the fastener adjacent and/or through the adjacent elements. An adhesive, formed by curing the adhesive composition, has excellent physical properties, including adhesive strength and high temperature resistance.
