介绍了高性能双组分环氧结构胶粘剂的发展。动态力学分析、电子显微镜和应力/应变测量显示了这些和早期环氧粘合剂之间的根本区别。描述了性能特性，包括搭接剪切、T形剥离和耐环境性。描述了一些案例，以说明这些高性能环氧结构胶粘剂的典型应用。

THE DEVELOPMENT OF HIGH-PERFORMANCE TWO-PART EPOXY STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES IS DESCRIBED. DYNAMIC MECHANICAL ANALYSIS, ELECTRON MICROSCOPY, AND STRESS/STRAIN MEASUREMENTS SHOW THE FUNDAMENTAL DIFFERENCES BETWEEN THESE AND EARLIER GENERATIONS OF EPOXY ADHESIVES. PERFORMANCE PROPERTIES ARE DESCRIBED INCLUDING LAP SHEAR, T-PEEL, AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESISTANCE. A NUMBER OF CASE HISTORIES ARE DESCRIBED TO ILLUSTRATE TYPICAL APPLICATIONS FOR THESE HIGH- PERFORMANCE EPOXY STRUCTURAL ADHESIVES.
