A recent technique used in surface preparation for adhesive bonding is plasma treatment. In the Philippines, one of the most accessible brands of adhesive is Pioneer epoxy adhesive and, currently, there has been no existing research on the effect of plasma treatment with this adhesive. Thus, this re...
