Interlaminar Shear Strength (ILSS) test results for aged Aluminium-CFRP (thermoplastic) hybrid specimens

Abstract

Test data for interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) tests conducted as per DIN EN ISO 14130 on Aluminium-CFRP hybrid specimens. The specimens were manufactured by bonding Aluminium plate and thermoplastic CFRP tapes together in a hot press process. An adhesion promoter was applied on the Aluminium surface to facilitate bonding process. The hybrid material plates such manufactured were then conditioned in a cyclic climatic test according to standard PV1200. Finally the specimens were cut in standard sizes with water jet cutting and tested for their interlaminar shear strength.
