Abstract

This article presents the results of a research aimed at developing a technological process for bonding polymeric composite materials with low surface energy using modern surface preparation methods. It is shown that using an optimal surface treatment method for PKM before bonding (chemical treatment or atmospheric pressure plasma), results in a significant increase in strength of adhesive joints at temperatures up to 150 °C compared to the untreated surface and to the mechanically processed surface.

Keywords
bonding technology, structural film adhesive, surface treatment for bonding, strength of adhesive joint, chemical treatment method, atmospheric pressure plasma, surface treatment modes
