Abstract

Carbon fibre-reinforced composite laminates ( cfrp) have been moulded against release cloths, metal plates coated with release agent and sheets of silicone rubber. The chemical compositions of the laminate surfaces have been investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy ( xps). Results are presented to show the effect of a range of abrasive treatments on the degree of surface contamination and on the strength and mode of failure of single lap joints bonded with various adhesives.
