Novel thermoplastic fibre-metal laminates manufactured by vacuum resin infusion: The effect of surface treatments on interfacial bonding

The manufacturing process of a new generation of thermoplastic fibre-metal laminates (TP-FMLs) was investigated. A vacuum assisted resin infusion method was used to produce the hybrid laminates. The effect of various chemical and physical treatments on the surface morphology of the aluminium (Al) al...
