Adhesive bonds mechanical properties after the degradation process

Abstract

Adhesive bonding technology is dynamically evolving method of the material bonding and that is the reason of its using in the huge range of the industries. In reference to growing evolution, the needs for continuous testing and limits determination of the adhesive bonds grow to keep bonded structures secure. Many producers mention the adhesive resistance to moisture or water in a product list. The research showed that adhesive resistance to liquid mediums is lower and ultimate strength decreases with the exposure time. Experimental data also show that mechanical properties of epoxy adhesives are gradually restored.
