The Adhesive Bonding of Thermoplastic Composites.

Abstract

Successful adhesive bonding of thermoplastic composites has been achieved using corona discharge treatment. Both a physical and chemical analyses was carried out to determine the effects of corons treatment. These analyses confirm that corona treatment increases the wettability and intrinsic adhesion of the materials analyzed by introducing specific chemical groups. Keywords: Adhesives, Bonding, Composites, Contact angle, Corona, Fracture energy, Oxygenated species, Scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.
