There is no doubt that adhesive penetration plays an important role in wood bondline joint performance and durability; yet, to date there is no direct experimental evidence linking penetration depth with bond performance. This is, in part, because adhesive penetration is commonly assessed with various 2D microscopy techniques that are...
This report is one of a series issued in cooperation with Air Force-Navy-Civil Subcommittee on Aircraft Design Criteria under the supervision of the Aircraft Committee of the Munitions Board. Information reviewed and reaffirmed May 1954 and 1962. This report was originally published December 1949.
This report is one of a series issued in cooperation with the ANC-23 Panel on Composite Construction for Flight Vehicles of the Departments of the Air Force, Navy, and Commerce.
Moisture durability is essential for wood composites, especially those used in building construction, where products are prone to weathering. The primary focus of this research was to determine if adhesive penetration into the cell wall has a positive influence on adhesive bond durability. To fully understand the measureable effects of...
