Strength prediction and experimental validation of adhesive joints including polyethylene, carbon-epoxy and aluminium adherends

Polyolefins are especially difficult to bond due to their non-polar, non-porous and chemically inert surfaces. Acrylic adhesives used in industry are particularly suited to bond these materials, including many grades of polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), without special surface preparation. I...
