A review of the use of adhesives for device assembly, focusing on optical radiation curing using UV light. by B. G. Yacobi, Chris Le Conte, Kevin Davis, and Manfred Hubert New equipment, such as the ...

A new type of 3D-printed adhesive could change how we join materials together. So far, scientists have developed two new methods that can create extremely strong bonds at the pore level, eliminating ...

In industrial production, bonding plays an increasingly important role. Researchers have now succeeded in separating the processes of applying the adhesive and the actual joining, which opens up a new ...

Unitized, adhesively bonded composite primary structures on aircraft could offer substantial cost savings by dramatically reducing part and fastener counts, as well as time and labor for airframe ...

Adhesive bonding improves the looks and durability of low-surface-energy plastics, but pretreatment or special adhesive formulations are a must. • Low-surface-energy polymers are durable, flexible, ...

Water acts aggressively on bonded joints. For example, if a typical bond, in which two metals are epoxy joined, is immersed in water at 600°C for 1500 hours, it loses over 75% of its initial strength.

There are many benefits to using bonding tapes rather than mechanical fasteners or liquid adhesives. Compared to fasteners, they are more straightforward to apply, remove the need to drill holes, and ...

For as long as humans have been using tools, they have found creative ways to mechanically fasten different materials with ropes, pegs, and wedges. After about a few thousand years of perfecting the ...
