Abstract: A two-part formulation of a high strength acrylic adhesive that includes a Part A and Part B. The Part A includes at least one curable monomer of: Part A acrylate monomer, methacrylate monomer, acrylic acid monomer, methacrylic acid monomer, or a combination thereof; a Part A impact modifier; and a Part A adhesion promoter. A Part B includes impact modifier, a Part B adhesion promoter, and an induction agent. A polyvinyl acetal resin is present in at least one of Part A or Part B, and present from 1 to 30 total weight percent. A process of applying the resulting adhesive to bond substrates and a resulting structure are also provided.

Abstract: A method of bonding includes providing a thermoplastic substrate having a surface with a surface energy value of less than a 48 miliJoules per meter squared. The surface is exposed to particulate formed in a combustion flame from a precursor. The particulate forms an adherent layer of metal oxide on the surface. An adhesive is applied to the adherent layer. A second substance is placed in in simultaneous contact with the adhesive to bond the thermoplastic. A laminate is provided that includes a thermoplastic substrate having a surface. An adherent layer of metal oxide is on a surface of the thermoplastic substrate. An adhesive is attached to the adherent layer. A second substance is in simultaneous contact with the adhesive.
