Usually the technic to do that is by shear test. Find a good reference for that in: "Use of epoxy/multiwalled carbon nanotubes as adhesives to join graphite fibre reinforced polymer composites", May 2003, Nanotechnology 14(7):791 DOI: 10.1088/0957-4484/14/7/316

Dear all, the following link provide some ASTM and ISO standards for different forms of adhesion testing. More details in the attached book. My Regards
Mina Karimi-Avargani Sharing an ASTM document in the way you have done could lead to difficulties if you are an ASTM member - it is technically illegal due to copyright reasons. Standards organizations such as ISO and ASTM only exist through sales of their standards. This standard costs $48. I suggest that you remove your attachment and just make reference to it.
Raad Sh. Alnayli It may be useful, but it's technically illegal/theft. You should be purchasing your own copy separately through your country's standards body. ASTM will cease to exist if everyone copied the standards and then there would be no more standards...
Dear Dr. Alan F Rawle, what you said is perfectly correct and no one would disagree with you. However, ASTM société is getting pleinty of income through bulk sales of its products. We are sharing these documents for restricted personal use and not for commercial issues. I am sure you don't accept that in some places, many researchers are blocked because of the luck of the bibliographic support. I am not giving excuses to what you called 'theft', but sometimes there is no alternatives. Not all us are living and working in developped institutions and countries. My Regards
Abdelkader BOUAZIZ The same argument could be applied to not paying taxes as the government already has plenty of money... ASTM and ISO have teams of people and automated software scanning the internet for copyright abuse of this type.
