✦ Synopsis

The adhesive joint strength behavior of vulcanized rubbers with epoxy adhesives during the ultraviolet (UV) treatment of rubber surfaces has been studied. The change in rubber surfaces and the interphase layer structure of joints has been investigated. A model for the joint strength behavior is suggested, with which one can predict the appropriate use of UV treatment of rubber surfaces to improve the joint strength.
