Effects of Elevated Temperature Curing on Glass Transition Temperature of Steel/CFRP Joint and Pure Epoxy Adhesive

Glass transition temperature (Tg) of the steel/epoxy/CFRP composite bond can affect the service and fire performance of the system. Two test series were conducted to evaluate the Tg of the pure epoxy adhesive and the steel/epoxy/CFRP bond. A total of twenty-six double strap joints and pure epoxy ad...
