Interfacial bond strength is one of the vital mechanical properties of adhesives. The cross-bonded method, which is widely used to measure the interfacial tensile and shear bond strength simultaneously, has attracted extensive attention. An improved cross-bonded method is presented in this study in order to promote the accuracy and reliability of the testing results. The ergo 9900 glue, E-7 glue, AB glue and 502 glue were measured in this study. Compared with the original method, the results of the improved cross-bonded method show that: (i) the coefficient of variation of the interfacial bond strength decreased significantly; (ii) the interfacial shear bond strength of the adhesives is closer to its true value.

Wood–plastic composites (WPC) with good mechanical and physical properties are desirable products for manufacturers and customers, and interfacial bond strength is one of the most critical factors affecting WPC performance. To verify that a higher interfacial bond strength between wood and thermoplastics improves WPC performance, wood veneer–thermoplastic composites (VPC) and oriented strand–thermoplastic composites (OSPC) were fabricated using hot pressing. The effects of the coupling agent (KH550 or MDI) and the thermoplastic (LDPE, HDPE, PP, or PVC) on the interfacial bond strength of VPC, and the mechanical and physical properties of OSPC, were investigated. The results showed that coupling agents KH550 and MDI improved the interfacial bond strength between wood and thermoplastics under dry conditions. MDI was better than KH550 at improving the interfacial bond strength and the mechanical properties of OSPC. Better interfacial bonding between plastic and wood improved the OSPC performance. The OSPC fabricated using PVC film as the thermoplastic and MDI as the coupling agent displayed the highest mechanical properties, with a modulus of rupture of 91.9 MPa, a modulus of elasticity of 10.9 GPa, and a thickness swelling of 2.4%. PVC and MDI are recommended to fabricate WPCs with desirable performance for general applications.

ABSTRACTThis study explores the relations between processing routes, microstructures and mechanical properties of the matrix/reinforcement interfaces in MoSi2/Nb composites. It was found that the fracture energy of the interfacial region depended on the interfacial bond strength, roughness of interface, and the nature of the interfacial compounds. The fracture energy between the oxide coating and intermetallic interfacial compounds was found to be lower than that between two intermetallics or between Nb and an intermetallic. Processing routes were found to affect the fracture energy of the interfacial region by changing interphase formation, changing microstructure of materials adjacent to the interface, or changing roughness of interface.

There exist the problems such as low bond strength and bad durability in the ordinary grouting slurry of the ground anchor system at present. The high-performance grouting mediums RPC (Reactive Powder Concrete) and DSP (Densified Systems containing homogeneously arranged ultrafine Particles) would become the potential replacement of grouting medium in ground anchor resulting from their high compressive strength, durability and toughness. Based on a series of pull-out tests on ground anchors with different high-performance grouting medium of RPC and DSP , different bond length in the construction field, the bond performance on the interfaces between anchor bolt (deformed steel bar) and grouted medium as well as between grouted medium and rock mass was studied. The results indicate that the interfacial bond strength between RPC or DSP and deformed steel bolt ranges within 23-31Mpa, far greater than that (about 2-3MPa) between the ordinary cementitious grout and deformed steel bar. Even though the interfacial bond strength between the grouted medium and rock mass of limestone was not obtained in the test since the failure mode was pull-out of those steel bar rather than the interface shear failure between grouted medium and rock mass, the bond stress on the interface reached 6.2-8.38 MPa, also far greater than the bond strength (about 0.1-3MPa) between the ordinary cementitious slurry and rocks.

The paper discusses a simple specimen geometry to obtain the fibre/cement interfacial shear strength (IFSS). The specimens are easy to prepare and easy to test. The technique gives reliable and reproducible results. IFSS results for five different fibres with cement were measured. Most IFSS values obtained are in the range of 0.15 to 1.5 MPa. Despite the simplicity of the technique presented in this study, the results are in agreement with those obtained by several other researchers using different techniques and specimen geometry.
