“…The brazed metal manifold components swapped out for V6 engines with a lightweight plastic part made from Nylon composites family that reduce weight and cost [7]. Automotive industry growth is being driven by the continued focus on lightweight construction, greater fuel efficiency and lower emissions, which is possible with carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) components [8]. High performance polymers (HPP) used to replace metals in the automotive industry that offers specific strengths, chemical resistance over metals.…”

Hence the extent of delamination can be inferred from the throughthickness resistance. This is proved for both conductive (carbon fibre-reinforced) and non-conductive (glass fibre-reinforced) laminates. The premature Z-pin failure during progressive pull-out corresponds to an abrupt increase of through-thickness electrical resistance. The delamination sensing/suppression method presented in this paper can be readily applied to Z-pinned composites at structural level.

“…In fully composite automotive structures, which are only now currently reaching mass production status [95], the paint shop is usually not present and cold-cure adhesives are preferred. These materials only face thermal stresses during service, which range from À40 C to 80 C. For these cases, the same thermal stress mitigating techniques previously described apply.…”

This work presents a review of several investigations on the topic of adhesive bonding at high and low temperatures. Durability and strength at extreme temperatures have always been a major limitation of adhesives that, given their polymeric nature, exhibit substantial degradation at temperatures where other structural materials (such as metals for example) have minute changes in mechanical properties. However, due to the inherent advantages of bonding, there is a large and continued effort aiming to improve the temperature resistance of adhesive joints, and this effort has been spread among the various topics that are discussed in this review. These topics include adhesive shrinkage and thermal expansion, adhesive properties, joint geometry optimization, and design techniques, among others. The findings of these research efforts have all found use in practical applications, helping to solve complex problems in a variety of high-tech industries where there is a constant need to produce light and strong components that can withstand large temperature gradients. Therefore, the final sections of this work include a discussion on two specific application areas that demonstrate the strict demands that extreme temperature use imposes on adhesive joints and the methods used to improve their performance.
