Improved Nanoreinforced Composite Material Bonds with Potential Sensing Capabilities

Dramatic increase in the bond strength of composite/adhesive interfaces of nanoreinforced composite material joints and structures has been achieved using laser-assisted fabrication of Micro-Column Arrays (MCA) on the surface of the two materials prior to bonding. Several advantages of the MCA techn...
