Adhesive joints of carbon fiberreinforced epoxy composite laminates are worked using an epoxy resin as theadhesive. In this paper, Adhesive joints were modified nano-CaCO3 in order toenhance the shear strength of epoxy adhesives. The enhancements of shearstrength of epoxy adhesive joints reinforced with different nano-CaCO3 particlesloading have been studied. The adhesive properties were measured by tensile lapshear test as a function of nano-CaCO3 amount and damaged adhesive surfaceroughness. Also, the fracture surfaces were examined with Scanning ElectronMicroscopy (SEM).eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessAdhesiveepoxycarbon fibershear strengthnano-CaCO3Article93-293510.29137/umagd.371119371119
