Epoxy resins (ERs) are one of the main types of resins used as structural adhesives;
however, they present some weakness, which are mostly related to their highly cross-linked …

The need to design lightweight structures and the increased use of lightweight materials in
industrial fields, have led to wide use of adhesive bonding. Recent work relating to finite …

One parameter that influences the adhesively bonded joints performance is the adhesive
layer thickness. Hence, its effect has to be investigated experimentally and should be taken …

Improvement of the mechanical properties of adhesives and adhesive joints has been a
subject of great interest in recent years. Up to now, several methods have been presented …

Fabrication of polymeric components with complex geometry has been increased in the
recent years. As additive manufacturing (AM) showed its unique capabilities, it has been …

Flexible interconnects are one of the key elements in realizing next‐generation flexible
electronics. While wire bonding interconnection materials are being deployed and …

The bonding performance between adherend and adhesive depends on two main factors
including the surface roughness of the adherend and the bondline thickness of the …

The geometrical factors defining an adhesive joint are of great importance as its design
greatly conditions the performance of the bonding. One of the most relevant geometrical …

In this study, we designed a methacrylate-functionalized soybean oil (MASO) UV-curable
prepolymer via amination and esterification reaction, and a series of random copolymers …

Unlike existing literature that primarily concentrates on either the plasma treatment of
adherends alone or solely on adhesive surfaces, this work leverages plasma modification of …
