Özet

In this project, polymer synthesis was carried out using glycidyl methacrylate in THF solution at 70 °C. The synthesized p(GMA) polymer was subjected to curing process to increase the adhesion strength and the bonding performance with the addition of colemanite. The product obtained was developed to be used in the joining of single-acting metal-to-metal fasteners.

Mechanical tests of the bonded materials were carried out according to ASTM D1002 standards and their performances were compared. Metal oxide microparticles were used to increase the mechanical and thermal strength of the adhesive material. The performances of adhesives prepared with different formulations were evaluated and the optimum composition ratios were determined. In addition, the effects of surface preparation methods on adhesion strength were investigated.This study aims to determine the optimum bonding conditions of metal-metal bonding joints and to investigate the suitability of the adhesives for industrial scale applications in line with the data obtained. The localization of the developed high value-added adhesives aims to contribute to the national economy. Thus, it is aimed to provide stronger and more durable adhesive solutions in industrial applications.
