Objective: This section will address issues associated with adhesive bonding and painting of composites based on Dow’s chopped UD random fiber molding compound. 

Goal: Determine the effect on: CF-matrix adhesion with and without IMR; the surface of the cured CFRP with and without IMR; and its effect on multimaterial joining and paint adhesion.

Note: Dates for completion of milestones are subject to change.
