Abstract text:
The adhesive bonding is one of the most suitable joining technique for structures made of composite materials. Adhesive bonding of fiber reinforced polymer (FRP) composite products is utilised in various applications such as: strengthening techniques, reparing the surface of different FRP elements and as a general alternative, when mechanical fastenings are not suitable. The adhesion between the adhesive and the adherents arises from the fact that all materials have attraction forces acting between their atoms and molecules. The bond strength depends on the intensity of the attraction forces and on the interaction between the adhesive and the surfaces of the adherents. This paper presents a review of the existing adhesion theories suitable for FRP composite products. Also, varios research programs related to the adhesion mecanisms between FRP elements are presented in this paper.
Key Words:
adhesive; adherent; polymeric composite materials; bonding; surface treatments.
