Epoxy resin adhesives

  • Chapter
Chemistry and Technology of Epoxy Resins

Abstract

The use of structural adhesives in the manufacture of load-bearing components has grown extensively in recent years. This can be attributed to a number of desirable qualities which adhesive bonding allows in comparison with more traditional joining techniques such as riveting and welding. These include:

  1. (i)

    Allowance of a relatively uniform stress distribution, resulting in improved fatigue performance.

  2. (ii)

    The ability to join dissimilar substrate materials which, due to their dielectric nature, minimises the possibility of electrolytic corrosion between dissimilar metals.

  3. (iii)

    Allows the joining of thin-gauge metals to each other, in particular honeycomb assemblies, resulting in the availability of lightweight structures exhibiting high strength to weight ratios.

  4. (iv)

    Allows both increased design flexibility and the ability to fabricate complex shapes.

  5. (v)

    The possibility of reduced production costs in comparison to welding and riveting.
