ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates in a first aspect to (with reference to FIG.1) a method of bonding together first (10) and second (12) components with an adhesive (13) in which Xylan (11) is applied to a surface of at least one (10) of the components (10, 12) and then the adhesive (13) is applied over the Xylan coated surface and then the adhesive (13) is used to bond the first (10) and second (12) components together with the adhesive (13) adhering to the Xylan coated surface. In a second aspect the present invention relates to a bonded structure which has at least first (10) and second (12) components bonded together with an adhesive (13) and wherein Xylan (11) is used as a surface coating on at least one (10) of the bonded components to improve the strength of the bond. In a third aspect the present invention relates to use of Xylan (11) to improve the strength of a bond between two components (10, 12) by coating a surface of at least one of the components (10, 12) with Xylan (11) prior to bonding the components (10, 12) together.
