A Study of the Effect of Fillers on the Main Properties of the Epoxy Resin

الملخص

Epoxy adhesives, a thermoplastic resin, are characterized by important and varied applications. It binds the parts to each other with high mechanical properties and relatively high chemical resistance for various engineering materials, but some special applications require very high bonding strength that exceeds the durability of the basic adhesive.The objective of this research is to study the improvement of the mechanical and investment specifications of the AW116 adhesives to achieve the optimum specifications for sensitive industrial applications using some types of fillers. The good results were obtained, which led to the conclusion of the joints which had best specifications and mechanical properties, in terms of achieving the high apparent Apparent Shear Strength  and peel resistance .
