| The stability of adhesive joints under ultraviolet (UV) radiation is a critical issue in automotive, aerospace, electronics, and construction applications. UV-induced degradation leads to bond scission, oxidation, embrittlement, and yellowing of polymer matrices, which significantly reduces adhesive performance. One of the most effective approaches to improve UV resistance is the incorporation of inorganic fillers, particularly metal oxides. This chapter provides a review of the role of selected metal oxides (TiO₂, Al₂O₃, ZnO, SiO₂, Fe₂O₃) in adhesives and polymer systems, focusing on their mechanisms of action, advantages, and limitations. A case study is also presented, in which an epoxy adhesive system (L + CL) was modified with TiO₂ and Al₂O₃ at 1 and 3 wt.% loadings. Samples were exposed to accelerated UV aging (24 h, 72 h, 240 h) and evaluated in terms of colour change and tensile strength retention. The results confirmed that TiO₂, especially at 3 wt.%, effectively reduced yellowing and improved mechanical stability, while Al₂O₃ showed limited protective action. These findings highlight the potential of metal oxide fillers for designing UV-resistant adhesive systems and point to future directions for long-term durability studies. |
