Abstract

Nano-technological developments, which have made significant progress in recent years, have significant impact on the science of adhesives. Therefore, in our study, the static and fatigue strengths of single-lap joints (SLJs) incorporating nanoparticles were compared to those without nanoparticles. Steel plates were used in the adhesive joints. The results revealed that average damage load increased significantly in nanoparticle-reinforced adhesive joints. The highest damage load was obtained with 4 wt% nano-Al2O3 in epoxy adhesive. As the average damage load increased, the locus of damage changed from interfacial to the mixture of interfacial and cohesive. Also, fatigue strengths of the joints increased when the adhesive joint had nano-Al2O3 and nano-SiO2, and decreased when the adhesive joint had nano-TiO2.
