Abstract:The effects of temperature and preconditioning in deionized (DI) water and a cyan ink vehicle used in inkjet printer cartridges on the durability of glass=epoxy and silicon=epoxy systems have been investigated. A test matrix consisting of test temperatures, preconditioning temperatures, preconditioning times, and nature of adherends and adhesives was developed and a series of experiments was conducted using wedge test specimens (glass or silicon coupons bonded with epoxy) to investigate the subcritical adhesio… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
