Prevention of mechanical and thermal damage to the composite parts is crucial during the debonding process of adhesive joints. This work highlights the impact of thermally expanded particles (TEPs) on bulk adhesive properties and the lap shear strength of adhesively bonded GFRP joints. FTIR studies...
