Abstract

In this paper two approaches to joining of thermoplastic composites are compared. The first is adhesive bonding using conventional epoxy adhesives. This is possible only if surfaces are carefully pretreated, and both physical and chemical pretreatments are discussed here. The second approach is by fusion bonding. Local melting may be achieved by a large number of different methods and several of these are presented. Adhesive and fusion bonding are then compared in terms of static strength, the influence of moisture, fracture toughness and fatigue behaviour. Finally, the application of both techniques to the repair of perforated panels is discussed.
