Resumen
Structural adhesives technology has changed the concept of joints bonding different materials in a unique solid assembly and making them part of the structures. These joints not only increase strength and stiffness but also reduce weight, which is important, for instance, for vehicles and airplanes. The present study reports the results of applying urethane structural adhesives in automotive components. RTM, SMC, ABS thermoplastic and galvanised steel samples was evaluated under temperaturem time, humidity and destilled water. The results show very good adherence between the adhesive and the substrates under these conditions.
