Abstract:The present work aims at investigating the effect of adhesive modification on the lap shear strength of the adhesively bonded joints. The epoxy-based adhesive is reinforced with reduced graphene oxide (rGO) at different weight fractions. Single lap joints (SLJ) have been prepared by considering the commercially available aerospace-grade aluminum alloy AA8011 as the adherend material and Araldite 2014 A/B as the adhesive. Experiments showed that the addition of 0.5 wt.% graphene to the epoxy adhesive resulted a… Show more
