There are a variety of test methods that characterize the properties of adhesive bonds between two similar or dissimilar material layers. The differences between the methods relate to the stress ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. In my October 2015 column, I compared three V-notched shear test configurations used to measure the shear stiffness and shear strength of composite materials: The ...

This video shows Admet’s adhesive lap joint shear strength test similar to ASTM D1002. Shear joints provide uniform stresses across the bond area thus optimizing the strength of joints. The shear ...

The performance of today’ electronic products relies heavily on the integrity of the tiny connections between microchips and circuits, which can number as many as 2,200. These bonds are tested ...

Two studies comparing bond strengths of dental adhesives on enamel and dentin, respectively, found that Clearfil SE Protect Bond (Kuraray America) performed best in enamel strength testing, while the ...
