Evaluation of plasma sprayed coatings as surface pretreatments for adhesive bonding
The use of plasma-sprayed coatings as surface pretreatments for adhesive bonding has been investigated. Increased pressure by the Environmental Protection Agency and other environmental groups has prompted the search for environmentally safe methods of pretreating metals before bonding. Plasma …

Effects of Surface Microstructure on the Strength of Adhesively Bonded Structures
… present research is focused on the influence of surface roughness on the fracture resistance of an aluminum-epoxy interface. A layered double cantilever beam (LDCB) specimen was chosen for this experiment. The LDCB specimen was debonded by peeling off the epoxy layer from the aluminum substrate …

Bonding properties of innovative CAD-CAM composite biomaterials for dental prostheses
… and PICNs) with resin cement after different surface pretreatments and aging, and to correlate the results with material surface parameters, particularly micro- and nanostructure. In this study, two dispersed filler (Lava Ultimate, 3M ESPE and Cerasmart, GC America), two PICNs (Vita Enamic, …

Crack Path Selection in Adhesively Bonded Joints
… and aluminum 6061-T6 alloy with different surface pretreatments as the adherends, both symmetric and asymmetric double cantilever beam (DCB) specimens are prepared and tested under mixed mode fracture conditions in this study. Post-failure analyses conducted on the failure surfaces indicate …

An Investigation of Plasma Pretreatments and Plasma Polymerized Thin Films for Titanium/Polyimide Adhesion
Plasma pretreatments are environmentally benign and energy efficient processes for modifying the surface chemistry of materials. In an effort to improve the strength of the titanium alloy/FM-5 polyimide adhesive joint for aerospace applications, oxygen plasma pretreatments and novel thin plasma …
