Durability of Adhesive Bonds
Long-term performance of bonded joints cannot be predicted from the properties of the adhesive and adherent surface. Complex interfacial and interface chemistry requires the testing of bonded structures. There are close to 50 bond-strength test methods accepted by ASTM International for development of data on adhesive joint properties. Typically tensile, lap-shear, and peel are the main adhesive bond configurations that are used for testing.
