Abstract
The effect of water absorption on the strength of single lap adhesive joints subjected to accelerated hygrothermal ageing (55 °C, 95% relative humidity, 800 h) was analysed. Two different variables were studied: the surface treatment of the carbon fibre/epoxy laminates (peel ply, grit blasting and atmospheric pressure plasma) and the addition of carbon nanofillers (0.5 wt% nanofibres and 0.25 wt% nanotubes) to the epoxy adhesive. The joint...
