Development of assembly techniques for fire resistant aircraft interior panels... The Type A panel is of sandwich construction consisting of Nomex honeycomb filled with quinone dioxime foam, and bismaleimide/glass face sheets bonded to the core with polyimide film adhesive....
Process-based quality tools to verify cleaning and surface preparation... Interfacial toughness measured by this technique is compared to the interfacial toughness of thin film adhesive coatings using a nanoindentation technique....
Adhesive bonding and the use of corrosion resistant primers... For example, the Lockheed L-1011 TriStar assembly, after exhaustive evaluation tests specifies use of chromate filled inhibitive polysulfide sealants, and use of corrosion inhibiting adhesive primers prior to structural bonding with film adhesive
Development and application of adhesive materials for advanced composite bonding... We have made some progresses in development of toughened cyanate film adhesive and toughened BMI film adhesive....
