Protrusions designs of AFRP to eliminate slippage of bonding adhesive

A presentation of a new innovative smart designs of protrusions in Aramid Fiber Reinforced Polymer (AFRP) which could lead the manufacturing industry of AFRP to a new era. The classic straight AFRP strips has a major disadvantage when externally bonded with other engineering materials using bonding adhesive. When exposed to high temperatures, the bonding adhesive slides causing a weak bondage or a complete debonding in some cases between the AFRP and engineering material surfaces. Thus, the purpose of protrusions in AFRP laminates is to eliminate the slippage of the bonding adhesive between the AFRP strips and other engineering material surfaces. This takes place by eliminating the frictional factor between the surfaces of AFRP laminate and bonded engineering material.
