    We will only look at the surface preparation of composites here, as the preparation of metals has already been covered in the article Metal bonding. General information. Characteristics .

    Composites can be processed and bonded in the same way as their matrix polymer. We therefore refer the reader to the article Assemblage par collage [A 3 758] in the treatise Plastiques et Composites. Here, however, we will examine in detail the surface preparation methods specific to composite materials. We will not, of course, deal with the surface treatment of reinforcing fibers ("sizing") to promote the adhesion of resins to the fibers, as this has already been covered in the articles on the manufacture of composite materials and reinforcing fibers (see specialized articles in...
