The solubility of acrylic polymer in its own liquid monomer creates the opportunity to ‘weld’ acrylic-matrix (Elium®) composites without the application of heat. In this method, termedresin welding, acrylic monomeric resin is infused between acrylic-matrix composite parts. The resin dissolves and diffuses into the acrylic matrix and creates a continuous material, and a strong bond, when it polymerises, without the sensitivities of traditional welding methods to adherend or bondline thickness. Single lap shear testing was conducted on resin-welded and adhesively-bonded coupons with varying bondline thicknesses and filling fibres, and the bonding and fracture mechanisms were investigated using SEM and the diffusion of dyed acrylic resin. The highest bond strength of resin-welded coupons reached 27.9 MPa, which is 24 % higher than the strongest weld reported in the literature, indicating that resin welding is a promising alternative to traditional bonding and welding methods for acrylic-matrix composites.
