This work reports a quantitative evaluation of the aging behavior of adhesively bonded joints manufactured using a toughened epoxy adhesive applied on CFRP substrates. Low-pressure plasma (LPP) treatment was employed, adopting air and pure oxygen as process gases and varying working parameters such as power and exposure time. A preliminary...

Adhesive bonding offers many advantages over mechanical fastening, but requires accurate surface preparation, which is widely recognized as the key step to producing reliable and durable adhesive bonds. The use of laser cleaning processes helps to increase the reactivity of the topmost layers of substrates, without affecting the bulk material...

In this work, a response surface-designed experiment approach was used to determine the optimal settings of laser treatment as a method of surface preparation for CFRP prior to bonding. A nanosecond pulsed Ytterbium-doped-fiber laser source was used in combination with a scanning system. A Face-centered Central Composite Design was used to...

In this study, the design of experiments (DoE) approach was used to identify the effect of low-pressure plasma surface treatment parameters on the lap-shear strength of adhesive bonded joints realized using different substrates. In particular, four different polymeric substrates were considered: 5- and 7-layer carbon-fiber reinforced polymers...
