The project/research was financed in the framework of the project Lublin University of Technology-Regional Excellence Initiative, funded by the Polish Ministry of Science and Higher Education (contract no. 030/RID/2018/19).
One of the most important design factors in the constitution of adhesive joints is the correct choice of adhesive. Currently, there is a full range of options on the commercial market in this regard, but there is increasing research into modifying adhesives for specific engineering applications. The aim of this study was to analyze the effect of physical modification with fillers on the properties of the adhesive composition and the adhesive joints. The adhesives used in the study were a composition of Epidian 5 epoxy resin and PAC curing agent modified with 1% montmorillonite, 5% calcium carbonate and 20% activated carbon. The adhesive compositions in the cured state were subjected to strength tests and SEM and DSC analyses. Using these compositions, adhesive joints of EN AW 2024 T3 aluminum alloy sheets were also made. The tests carried out showed that, due to the use of different fillers, their effects on certain properties of the adhesive compositions are different types. It was shown that physical modification of the adhesive composition does not always result in positive effects. The study also attempted to determine the correlation between the properties of the adhesive compositions in the cured state and the strength of the adhesive joints.
