METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR RAPIDLY TESTING ADHESION

摘要

Adhesion testing systems, methods of fabrication, and methods of testing are disclosed. Test systems include test coupons with non-metallic test adherends. Test coupons are configured to test bonds to the non-metallic test adherends under peeling stress and/or shearing stress. Test methods are simplified and rapid as compared to standard adhesion tests and include methods of accelerated environmental testing. Test methods also are adapted for qualitative and quantitative measurement of bond performance.

主权项

1. A method of fabricating a layered test coupon, the method comprising:
adhering a test adherend with a test adhesive to a peeling adherend to create a test bond and to form a test structure, wherein the test adherend is laminar, and wherein the peeling adherend is laminar; bonding the peeling adherend to a first peeling support; and bonding the test adherend to a second peeling support.
