Sustainability of the commercial air travel industry requires new aircraft with ultra-efficient structures and designs, which will depend largely on lightweight polymer composites and new assembly methods. Manufacturers of commercial transport aircraft are compelled to install thousands of redundant fasteners into bonded joints to prevent failures due to unpredictable weak bonds. The Adhesive-Free Bonding of Complex Composites (AERoBOND) process enables re-flow of matrix resin during assembly to eliminate the material discontinuity at the interface, thereby eliminating the dependence of mechanical performance on interfacial adhesion.
