title = "Steel/CFRP joint behaviour with carbon nanotube modified epoxy adhesive at elevated temperatures",
abstract = "The behaviour of steel/CFRP double strap joints with carbon nanotube (CNT) modified epoxy under moderately elevated temperatures (23 to 70°C) is investigated. Experimental test results presented in this paper include bond strength, CFRP strain distribution and bond-slip relationship. Results show that, compared with neat epoxy, CNT-epoxy can provide a significant increase (about twofold) in bond strength at moderately elevated temperatures. The ultimate axial strain along CFRP laminates at joints with CNT-epoxy adhesive is greater than that with neat epoxy. The bond-slip curve shape transits from a trapezoidal to a triangular shape when the test temperature increases from ambient to moderately elevated temperatures. The peak shear stress and the fracture energy of joints bonded with CNT-epoxy adhesive are higher than those of joints with neat epoxy. It is demonstrated that incorporation of CNTs into the bond adhesive allows better exploitation of the potential of the CFRP system for strengthening steel structures at moderately elevated temperatures.",
