A thin film that forms an interface between metal surfaces and polymeric inserts of aircraft engine fan blades. The thin film is formed from a chemical comprised of carbon black, at least one evaporable solvent, a combination of phenolic-like resins dissolved in the solvent and the balance filler and inert ingredients. The thin film, upon drying of the evaporable solvent, forms a phenolic that bonds with the metallic portion of the fan blade. After the polymeric material is applied to recesses in the fan blade and cured, a chemical bond is formed between the thin film and the elastomeric inserts. The bonded structure has improved FWT peak stresses and improved fracture toughness. |
