Notes:
The influence of bulk physical properties on the bond strength of an adhesive was studied. A conventional epoxy resin when cured with various mixtures of phthalic acid and anhydride exhibits maximum bond strength when the curing agent is 75% acid and 25% anhydride. This effect is explained on the basis of physical properties of the unfilled resin systems. Most significant of these were the heat distortion temperature and the compressive break and yield strengths.
