The adhesion of an optical adhesive to glass substrates for optoelectronics applications

Surface characterisation and failure mechanisms of adhesively bonded glass butt joints were studied. Materials of relevance to the adhesive bonding of fibre optic components were employed: a fine annealed Grade A glass (Schott(TM) BK - 7), and a fast curing epoxy based optical adhesive. The joint be...
