Abrahami, S.T. (author), Hauffman, T. (author), de Kok, John M.M. (author), Terryn, H.A. (author), Mol, J.M.C. (author)The long-term strength and durability of an adhesive bond is dependent on the stability of the oxide-adhesive interface. As such, changes in the chemistry of the oxide and/or the adhesive are expected to modify the interfacial properties and affect the joint performance in practice.
