Can you glue carbon fiber to polycarbonate and have a strong bond that will be resistant to weather and breaking off?

Yes, you can bond carbon fiber to polycarbonate using epoxy adhesives specifically designed for bonding dissimilar materials. This bond can be strong and resistant to weathering, but the strength may vary depending on the specific adhesive used and the surface preparation. It is important to ensure good surface preparation and follow the adhesive manufacturer's instructions for best results.


How do you bond polycarbonate?

Depends. Are you trying to make polycarbonate from scratch, or stick two pieces of polycarbonate you already have together? If you're trying to make some polycarbonate, you do it in a factory. You start with bisphenol A. Wash the BPA with sodium hydroxide to prime it, then add phosgene. The phosgene will cause the BPA to turn into plastic resin. You do it in a factory because all three of the ingredients you use to make polycarbonate will go out of their way to kill you--in fact, phosgene was used in World War I to kill soldiers. Some things are better bought already made, and this is one of them. If you have some polycarbonate pieces already, you can glue them together or weld them. You need to heat the joint to over 600 degrees F to weld polycarbonate, but a good plastic welding machine has no problem getting that hot. Weld ON # 3 from IBS corp is and has been used for decades in the world's first Solar powered watch to bond Lexan to Lexan.The initial bond happens in 30 seconds so be ready to put clamps on.The bond is so strong after 24 hours that it frustrates people trying to pry and cut one open.To bond a Stainlees Steel plate to the lexan bottom is another story.


How can I effectively clean polycarbonate using alcohol?

To effectively clean polycarbonate using alcohol, dampen a soft cloth with isopropyl alcohol and gently wipe the surface of the polycarbonate. Avoid using excessive pressure to prevent scratching the material. Repeat as needed until the surface is clean.
