The effect of hygrothermal aging on the adhesion performance of nanomaterial reinforced aluminium adhesive joints

Abstract
© 2022 Elsevier LtdAdhesive joints are subjected to various environmental factors such as humidity and temperature, depending on their use in industrial applications. It is important to examine and improve the performance of adhesive joints formed with polymeric adhesives, which are known to be sensitive to humidity and temperature parameters, under these conditions. For this reason, in this study, FPL-etched AA7075-T6 aluminium adherends bonded with nonreinforced and BNNP (boron nitride nanopowder), ANP (alumina nanopowder) and MWCNT (multiwalled carbon nanotubes) reinforced epoxy adhesive as a single lap adhesive joint. Thereafter, performance of the adhesive joints that exposed hygrothermal aging conditions of 1, 2, 4 and 6 weeks at 100% relative humidity (RH) and 60 °C were investigated. Glass transition temperature (Tg) values of nonreinforced and reinforced epoxy adhesives before and after hygrothermal aging were determined by DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) analyses. Depending on the nanomaterial types, the tendency of the adhesive joints to water uptake was determined and compared with nonreinforced adhesive joints. When the shear strength findings were investigated, it was defined that the adhesive joints reached almost saturation after 2 weeks of hygrothermal aging. In addition, the most effective nanomaterial type against hygrothermal aging was determined as MWCNT. After 2 weeks hygrothermal aged, the shear strength decreases of MWCNT reinforced adhesive joints were 21.77% and 16.97% less than BNNP and ANP reinforced adhesive joints, respectively. Although the adhesive deteriorates chemically after hygrothermal aging, its adhesion performance improved with the physical benefits of nanomaterials. However, ANP, which is cheaper in terms of price/shear strength performance in long-term aging times, showed similar results with MWCNT. In addition, fracture mechanisms were examined in more detail with SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) analyses before and after aging, and the effects of hygrothermal aging on the adhesive joints were determined.
