Abstract
An adhesive bonding film comprises at least one layer of thermally curable resin. The thermally curable resin includes embedded metal particles adapted to be excited to produce heat for curing the resin.
Claims20
An adhesive bonding film, comprising:
- at least one layer of thermally curable resin, the thermally curable resin including embedded metal particles adapted to be excited to produce heat for curing the resin.
A method of making an adhesive bonding film, comprising:
- forming a layer of an adhesive resin that may be thermally activated to cure;
- mixing metal particles into the layer of the adhesive resin;
- generating heat by exciting the metal particles using an electro-magnetic field;
- and
- using the heat generated by excitation of the metal particles to thermally cure the layer of the adhesive.

A method of bonding together first and second composite parts, comprising:
- introducing a dispersion of ferromagnetic nano-particles into a layer of adhesive resin;
- placing the layer of adhesive resin between two bonding surfaces respectively of the first and second composite parts;
- and
- thermally curing the adhesive resin by exciting the ferromagnetic nano-particles.
