The document discusses adhesive bonding as an alternative joining method to welding, soldering, mechanical fasteners, and other techniques. It covers bonding theory, surface treatment methods, adhesive types, design considerations, examples of bonding applications, and trends in the industry. Success in bonding projects requires close collaboration between the customer, adhesive manufacturer, and equipment suppliers from the initial design phase.

Bonding: an alternative for
Welding: Electric Arc Welding, Ultrasonic Welding, Laser Welding
Soldering
Screws, Bolts & Nuts
Clinch-nails & Rivets
Folding, Pressing en Flowdrilling
Clasp constructions & Springs
Sewing, Stitching & Stapling
Advantages of Adhesives
Easy & Fast: less rework
Also for dissimilar materials e.g. metal-plastic & thick-thin
Higher Strength: uninterrupted joint No or less weak points
Improved Stress-distribution & -reduction Higher fatiguestrength
Sealing: corrosion prevention Liquid- & gastight
Damped Vibrations less Noise S&R
Light: weight reduction
Esthetic: invisible
Bonding also Thin & Small components
Less components袖

2. Pseudo-disadvantages of Bonding
Its Chemistry ! Its a mess !? = Operator dependent
Environmental aspects: Water based adhesives Recycling of adhesive and cleaners
Cleanliness of substrates
Design flexibility: is manageable
Speed: adhesive type dependent
Dangers: exothermic reactions, H&S
Difficult Disassembly: recycling
Limited Strength & Temperature Resistance
Sticking as a Gecko IFAM
Subtle hairs with a molecular bond: van der Waals forces
Whats Bonding ? Definition
Joining of
two substrates
by means of a
third medium
= the adhesive
Adhesion vs Cohesion

Whats Bonding ? Mechanisms (cfr Wikipedia)
Vanderwaals: Glassplates experiment
Chemical: Si primer
Mechanical: Surface roughness
But whats really on the Surface ?!
Surface condition of substrates !!!
Why Surface Treatment ?
Strength: adhesion - cohesion ( rupture )
Wetting ( > 40 Dyne/cm)
Contact Angle measurement
Watertest
Pretreatment of substrates
Degreasing: cloth, vapour, ultrasonic
Grinding: roughen = > surface
Blasting: grit-, ice- . NON-recirculating !
Primers: silanes thickness = 袖m
Chemical etch: bv Aluminium
Flame & Corona: foil & sheet
Plasma: vacuum & atmospheric CA!
Laser: surface structure change
Failure Types
Cohesive failure: in the adhesive
Adhesive failure: on the surface of at least one of the substrates
Material Failure: one of both substrates
Mixed Failure: a combination of the above

3. Failure Types Medical needles
Cohesion failure: lack of cure
Material failure: plasma treated + fully cured
Surface Treatment with Atmospheric Plasma Video
External Influences
Time: aging degradation in function of time
Temperature: -change en thermoshock under the hood: -55属 tot +125属
C C
Vibrations & Shock: noise - S&R
Chemical: salt + humidity = corrosion
Radiation: X-ray, 留-, 硫-, 粒-radiation Radioactive Light: UV degradation color permanency
Medical: USP Class VI ISO 10993 - sterilisation, biocompatibility, citotoxicity
Adhesive Types - Graph
Epoxy: highest performance, chemical resistant
Polyurethane: humidty sensitive, cheap
Silicone: flexible, price , Mix-Ratio, Visc f(T)
Phenolics: high temperature applications
UV & light- curing: fast, price , light sensitive
Acrylates: highest strength, smell, initiators
Cyanoacrylates: moisture cure
Anaerobics: thread lock metal+ & air cut off
Hybrids : EP/Si, PU/EP, UV + moisture or T
Exotics: polybutadiene, MS-polymer, PSA,
Hotmelts: cheap, reactive types, performance
Tapes: single and double sided
Ceramic : HT Waterglass
Ink Cartridges
Gas Filtration

A few Trends
Multiple functionalities: Vibration dampening - S&R
More composites and all-in adhesives
Increasing Price pressure : Lopez effect - raw materials & energy price increases
Nanotechnology in adhesives
It all happens on the surface, less in the adhesive
Selfhealing Adhesives
More automation with adhesives
More Bonding for your new Application
Conclusion
The only chance realising bonding projects successfully, is that the
Triumvirate of
the customer with his project
the glue manufacturer with the adhesive
the machine manufacturers with their equipment
is working intensively and expertly together, from the design phase on and
on all aspects of the application.
Success Guaranteed !
