In situ Investigations of Near Phase Boundary Water Diffusion of Ageing Adhesive Bonds by Scanning Kelvin Probe (original) (raw)

ECS Meeting Abstracts, 2017

Abstract

Many industries nowadays rely on the adhesive bonding technology for their success, most notably aerospace, automotive, construction, and the electronics industry. One of the main advantages of the adhesives is the ability to bond dissimilar materials and the more efficient load transfer in comparison to other joining methods. Several industrial applications request the adhesive joint to withstand loads under different environmental conditions such as high moisture, and extreme temperatures. Thus, predicting the lifetime of adhesively bonded joints under moist environments is crucial to support tailoring the properties for the respective application demand. Relevant effects of water in adhesively bonded components may be strength degradation and introduction of stresses. Knowing the behaviour of the water in adhesive joints may contribute to directing the design of bonded components, lead to greater confidence and increase the use of adhesives in the industry. A significant cause of...
