Interfacial polymer welding architecture: HenkelRecent Research Landscape

Delamination and air entrapment during high-speed lamination cause structural failure in composite bodies. These innovations control the mechanical interlocking and curing parameters of film-based adhesives to ensure bond integrity.

What technical problems is Henkel addressing in Interfacial polymer welding architecture?

Poor dissimilar polymer adhesion

(5)evidences

Inadequate adhesion between dissimilar polymer phases leads to structural delamination. Improving this interface prevents mechanical failure in high-stress aerospace and automotive applications.

Interfacial bonding discontinuities

(5)evidences

Inadequate bonding between dissimilar polymer layers or substrates leads to delamination and structural failure. Improving bond strength at the interface prevents mechanical separation in multilayer composite structures.

Inadequate interfacial bond strength

(4)evidences

Low surface energy or chemical inertness of plastic substrates prevents robust molecular entanglement at the interface. Overcoming this limitation ensures structural integrity and prevents delamination under mechanical stress.

Poor interfacial substrate adhesion

(4)evidences

Low surface energy and chemical inertness of elastomeric substrates prevent strong bond formation. Overcoming this limitation ensures structural integrity between dissimilar materials.
