Surface characterization and adhesive bonding of carbon fiber-reinforced composites

The effect of surface pretreatment on the adhesive bonding and bond durability of carbon fiber/epoxy and carbon fiber/bismaleimide matrix composites was studied. Methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) wipe, peel ply, grit blast and gas plasma treatments were the pretreatments of interest. Chemical and physical c...
