N‐heterocyclic Carbenes as Adhesion Promoters on Aluminum Alloy 6061
Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.N‐heterocyclic carbenes as novel non‐toxic surface primers for aluminum alloys for better adhesive bonding, because strong adhesive bonding shouldn't come at the cost of poisoning the human body. The impact of NHC functionalization on adhesive joint strength and durability is also evaluated using a single‐lap‐shear test, following continuous exposure ...
