Abstract
An algorithm based on hierarchical polymer structure is proposed for calculation of the adhesive joint strength. This hierarchy enables one to describe the behavior of polymer adhesive joints taking into account specific characteristics of all the levels by combining together physico-chemical concepts of the formation of adhesive systems and their fracture mechanics.
In order to prove the validity of the described approach electroless copper plated ABS-copolymers were studied experimentally.
The developed approach makes it possible to take into consideration the effect of the parameters characterizing the formation of an adhesive joint on its strength properties.
