Hi guys,
I'm looking for an adhesive to glue epoxy reinforced carbon fibre to glass filled Nylon 6/6. I've tried some methacrylates such as Devweld 530/531 and Nuplex Ma310, but neither will give a proper chemical bond. The application is to glue the carbon fibre nosecone onto a glass filled Nylon fan rotor for 110mm dia ducted fan units for R/C model aircraft. I currently have the rotors moulded from carbon fibre filled polycarb because it's easy to glue, but they are breaking too easily as the material is very brittle. Glass filled Nylon will solve this problem. I also balance the assembled rotor/nosecone using a mix of adhesive and aluminium powder to make balancing putty, so the adhesive will also need to be suitable for that as well.
Thanks very much!
