摘要 |
<p>The present invention relates to a method of bonding together two pieces of composite material ( 10, 26 ) by applying a layer of glass fibre ( 20, 28 ) to a surface of each piece of composite material 10, 26 , and bonding the pieces together by means of adhesive ( 30 ) between the layers of glass fibre ( 10, 26 ). The inclusion of the glass fibre layers ( 20, 28 ) advantageously promotes failure of the bond adjacent the glass fibre-adhesive interface rather than at the glass fibre-composite material interface, with the result that damage to the composite material ( 10, 26 ) is minimised, and subsequent repair is made easier.</p> |
