Abstract

In the original language

Glass load-bearing structural elements are currently used more often in civil engineering. However, due to the brittle fracture of glass, it is necessary to design these structures with sufficient reliability. Adhesive joints have a number of advantages over mechanical connectors of glass commonly used in construction. Adhesives can eliminate thermal bridges and provide a more uniform stress distribution along the connection without weakening the bonded material. A variety of chemical methods have been developed for cleaning and activating glass surfaces prior to adhesive bonding. Recently, these methods have been substituted by glass surface cleaning and activation using ambient (humid) air plasma. Such an approach is considered much faster, technically simpler, and more environmentally friendly than the traditional chemical methods. For example, it eliminates the need for the so-called primer interlayer, where the primer is usually considered a heavy chemical with significant environmental impact. The presented work is focused on the surface activation of glass by atmospheric pressure plasma to improve adhesion using specially selected transparent adhesives. We studied Diffuse Coplanar Surface Barrier Discharge (DCSBD) plasma treatment of different float-glass, heat-treated and tempered glass surfaces in ambient air. The DCSBD plasma effect was evaluated by surface free energy and peel-test adhesion measurements. The morphological changes on the glass surface were investigated by scanning electron and atomic force microscopy. The glass-to-glass adhesion at elevated temperatures was tested with respect to the artificial ageing of adhesive bonding due to the environment.
