摘要 |
<p>The invention comprises a joint formed by mechanical interaction of particles (101) with the parts (100, 200) to be joined. The particles (101) engage an interface surface (103, 104) of each part (100, 200), creating a high friction condition that prevents further relative movement of the parts (100, 200) once they are assembled. The particles (101) have a substantially flat or flake-like morphology. The surface of each particle (101) is rough to enhance mechanical engagement with each interface surface (103, 104). The flake-like shape prevents the particle (101) from penetrating an elastomeric part, which would render the particle ineffective in the bonding process.</p> |
