Abstract
Surface treatment is essential for enhancing adhesion durability and minimizing substrate damage in hybrid structural materials. This study focuses on developing a hybrid adhesive lap joint by incorporating halloysite nanotube (HNT) with imidazole-functionalized surfaces (IM-HNT) into epoxy adhesives to improve adhesion performance and thermal shock resistance. The surface treatment of HNT with imidazole (IM) introduced a curing catalyst effect, reducing activation energy by 50% and accelerating curing time by 90%, as confirmed by Kissinger’s plot and permittivity measurements. The optimized IM-HNT content improved thermal stability by controlling thermal expansion and enhanced mechanical properties, achieving a 15% increase in tensile strength and a 50% enhancement in fracture toughness. The adhesion performance of steel/carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) hybrid joints was evaluated through single-lap shear tests, demonstrating a 25% improvement in shear strength. Adhesion durability was tested under cyclic thermal shock conditions, showing a 30% increase as IM-HNT content increased. Finite element analysis (FEA) revealed reduced residual stress at the adhesive interface, supporting the enhanced thermal and mechanical robustness. This study highlights the potential of surface-treated halloysite nanotubes in hybrid adhesive lap joints to significantly improve adhesion durability and thermal shock resistance, addressing critical requirements for hybrid structural materials.
期刊介绍:
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials is a leading international journal that promotes interdisciplinary collaboration among materials scientists, engineers, chemists, biologists, and physicists working on composites, including nanocomposites. Our aim is to facilitate rapid scientific communication in this field.
The journal publishes high-quality research on various aspects of composite materials, including materials design, surface and interface science/engineering, manufacturing, structure control, property design, device fabrication, and other applications. We also welcome simulation and modeling studies that are relevant to composites. Additionally, papers focusing on the relationship between fillers and the matrix are of particular interest.
Our scope includes polymer, metal, and ceramic matrices, with a special emphasis on reviews and meta-analyses related to materials selection. We cover a wide range of topics, including transport properties, strategies for controlling interfaces and composition distribution, bottom-up assembly of nanocomposites, highly porous and high-density composites, electronic structure design, materials synergisms, and thermoelectric materials.
Advanced Composites and Hybrid Materials follows a rigorous single-blind peer-review process to ensure the quality and integrity of the published work.
