Abstract :
So far, the strong demand for non-destructive testing of adhesive bonds has not sufficiently been met. Here, we demonstrate the capability of terahertz time-domain spectroscopy as a non-destructive technique for the analysis of adhesive layers in terms of thickness and dielectric properties by inspecting three different material systems.
