Abstract
The deleterious effect of water on structural adhesive joints has been investigated using joints which consist of mild steel substrates bonded with a simple epoxy adhesive. The mechanisms and kinetics of environmental failure have been identified and the instability of the joints in hostile environments successfully predicted from thermodynamic considerations.Keywords
