The properties of both the adhesive and the joined materials determine the long-term performance of a bonded joint. High temperatures, as well as exposure to water or chemicals, are all agents that ...

Bio-based adhesives have been largely applied on several applications in many industrial areas, including automotive and laminated food packaging. Polyurethanes (PU) occupy a leading position among ...

Editor’s Note: This article is adapted from the webinar “Structural Adhesives 101: Benefits of structural adhesives compared to traditional fastening methods.” The use of structural adhesives in metal ...

High-strength aluminum is a key material for reducing weight in auto body applications. However, the material’s low ductility at room temperature can cause cracking issues with conventional mechanical ...

ABSTRACT: This study investigates the enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties in epoxy resins modified with polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) for advanced adhesive applications. The research ...

Abstract: This paper presents a study on the application of artificial neural networks to predict the shear strength of single lap adhesive joints. The study uses a Matlab environment to model the ...
