Abstract
Study here focuses on the efficient utilization of the advantages of organic polymeric materials such as their low mass density and high tensile strength, etc, and at the same time avoiding their disadvantages like low/soft stiffness and rapid deterioration of mechanical properties in the aggressive or corrosive environment. To realize this aim, one methodology is adopted in this work by introducing the stainless steel thin film or sheet in the design to improve the anti-corrosion behaviors of the fabricated composite. Mechanical tests are also carried out to measure the effects of peeling rates on the nominal bonding strength which is a key parameter to characterize and evaluate the reliability of the whole designed structure under various loading conditions. In this way, the applications of composites made of mainly organic polymeric materials may be extended to larger engineering areas. The influence of peeling rate over the bonding strength is also discussed.
