| Description | An adhesive bonding process cycle study was performed for a polyimidesulfone (PISO2) recently developed as a promising structural adhesive. The high molecular weight, linear aromatic system possesses properties which make it attractive as a processable, low-cost material for elevated temperature applications. The results of a study to better understand the parameters that affect the adhesive properties of the polymer for titanium alloy adherends are detailed. These include the tape preparation, the use of a primer, and press and simulated autoclave processing conditions. The polymer was characterized using Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy, glass transition temperature determination, flow measurements, and weight loss measurements. The adhesive's strength determined by lap shear strength tests was used to evaluate the effects of the bonding process variations. Higher lap shear strengths were obtained at room temperature when a primer (PISO2) was used; however, the results were the same at 232 C (450 F) with or without a primer. The use of a vacuum (simulated autoclave cycle) during titanium bonding produced similar lap shear strengths to those specimens bonded without a vacuum. |
