“…Apart from other influencing factors like adherend material, geometric design of the bond line and its loading conditions, the adhesive properties significantly impact the strength of an adhesive bond [3,6,7,9,13,24]. The strength of adhesive joints is affected by a number of technological factors [4,8,12,18,19,20,23], e.g. proper surface treatment, adhesive preparation, temperature and loading conditions during cure, and a few structural factors [1,2,15,21], such as the type and thickness of adherends, overlap length, the type of joint, adhesive layer thickness.…”
