Abstract

Abstract: With the development of modern industrial technology, the requirements for material performance are continuously increasing. The aviation manufacturing sector urgently needs to continuously optimize the comprehensive performance of epoxy adhesives under complex working conditions, to overcome the key technologies of bonding and sealing in aircraft honeycomb sandwich structures, thereby promoting the collaborative innovation of lightweight and reliability in China’s aviation industry. This paper reviews the practical applications and research progress of epoxy resin adhesives, emphasizing the influencing factors of the thermal resistance performance of epoxy adhesives and the technical methods to improve their thermal resistance, as well as providing a detailed explanation of the toughening mechanism of epoxy resins.

Key words: epoxy resin, adhesive, high temperature resistance, toughening
