“…The use of such techniques results in an increase in surface roughness [5,17], and thus an increase in the strength of the adhesive bond. Many studies indicate that the properties of adhesive joints depend on a number of key factors, and these include [18][19][20]: type of adhesive [21], type of hardener, surface condition, adhesive application method, application conditions (temperature, humidity and adhesive open time), curing conditions, operating environment, chemical resistance and joint geometry [22][23][24][25].…”
