Many organisms in nature thrive in intricate habitats through their unique bio-adhesive
surfaces, facilitating tasks such as capturing prey and reproduction. It's important to note that …

Among the myriad joining techniques, the adhesive bonding technique is widely used to join
complex large-scale composite structures because of its numerous advantages compared to …

The micro-arc oxidation (MAO) treatment was used in this study to modify aluminum (Al)
alloys to improve bond strength with carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP). Various …

This work proposes an approach to improve the interfacial bonding between carbon-fiber-
reinforced thermoplastic polymers (CFRTP) and thermoset adhesive by using the surface …

Safe design of adhesive joining in multi-materials in engineered structures requires the
accumulation of numerous experimental data on the failure behavior of various adhesively …

Unlike existing literature that primarily concentrates on either the plasma treatment of
adherends alone or solely on adhesive surfaces, this work leverages plasma modification of …

In this paper, mode II fatigue crack growth properties of the composite-to-steel interface are
characterised through different test configurations, namely ENF and 4ENF tests. Different …

Epoxy resins are widely used as matrix in fiber-reinforced composites. We investigate how
adding nano-alumina affects the mechanical strength of epoxy resins. Size-effect testing is …

Abstract Adhesively Bonded Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastic (CFRP) and titanium alloy
have been extensively used as a hybrid structure in modern aircrafts due to their excellent …

This work investigated how the structure size affects the quasi‐static and fatigue behaviors
of graphene polymer nanocomposites, a topic that has been often overlooked. The results …
