4. Characteristics of structural adhesives
The characteristics of adhesives have been studied in an article in the Génie mécanique treatise and we will therefore only list them here, specifying those that are important for bonding composites. We refer the reader to this article for full details and definitions.
Most of the characteristics of the different types of adhesive are summarized in Table 3 and paragraph 5
