RE: Steel carbon fiber adhesives

Dear yavoran;
your subject is not clear enough
please give some details

RE: Steel carbon fiber adhesives

My assujption is you will build carbon strips to be post-bonded to the structure as opposed to in-situ layup.  In either case any of the major manufactrers should have a product.  I am betting you looking at either a urethane or methacylate.  It depends on the shear load at the bond line.  

As well, a lot of research on this has been done at the U of Delaware under contract from Dupont.   HOWEVER, this was to use the C-fiber to reinforce exsisting concrete structures...mostly parking decks etc.  Look through "High Performance composites" magazine issues for more names in the bridge industries...should be good info.


Good Luck.
