Temperature Rise of an Adhesive Particle-Reinforced Polymer during Fatigue Testing.

Construction adhesives are usually polymers that have been modified to achieve specific properties so that they can be used under various loading conditions. An attempt was made to estimate the effect of fatigue loading on the temperature of an adhesive material by further physically modifying the basic adhesive composition used in the research. The temperature of the materials during the tests was recorded using a thermal imaging camera and a thermoelectric thermometer.
