Progress on Adhesives and Evaluation Methodsfor Dissimilar Materials Joints

Abstract

The use of multi-material structures has recently been expanding much, and the hope for adhesive bonding

is rising. Various types of new adhesive were developed to meet the demand.　For this purpose, dissimilar

material joining is indispensable. Adhesives have these characteristics by nature. Thermal stress and Galvanic

corrosion are still problems, but they can be overcome. Additional characteristics, such as dismantlability for

recycling, damping for vibration of automobile will be required.
