Similarly, the individual structural panels of the upper sheet of serial panels are spliced together with a plurality of upper splice plates. The plurality of upper splice plates is positioned offset from the plurality of lower splice plates. The resulting elongated structural insulated panel retains its characteristics due to the positioning of the splice plates and their integration into the manufacturing method.

Abstract: Peel ply for surface preparation and a method of surface preparation prior to adhesive bonding. A resin-rich peel ply is applied onto a curable, resin-based composite substrate, followed by co-curing. After co-curing, the composite substrate is fully cured but the matrix resin in the peel ply remains partially cured. When the peel ply is removed, a roughened, bondable surface with chemically-active functional groups is revealed. The composite substrate with the chemically-active, bondable surface may be bonded to another composite substrate to form a covalently-bonded structure.
