High Temperature Adhesive Systems
Abstract
Under this program, a comprehensive technical effort was undertaken with the goal of developing high-temperature adhesive systems with inherent processibility and toughness. The approach was to perform a multidisciplinary integrated research effort involving a combination of polymer chemistry and fracture mechanics to tailor, characterize, and qualify tough adhesive systems for bonding to titanium and ferrous alloys. Performance goals for the adhesive systems included the ability to withstand extended duty cycles at high temperature while remaining viable under hot-wet and cold dry conditions. The polymer chemistry effort, which has been completed, entailed employment of novel methods of synthesis to develop appropriate polymer-ceramic systems. The mechanics effort involves the development of test methods and a data base for determining adhesion failure mechanism under severe environments. This interim report summarizes progress from 25 September 1985 through 31 January 1988.
