Table 3.
Results of the lap shear tests of joints formed by bonding strips of four-layer lyophilized SIS using MAPS along with Fe3+ or V5+ metal ion solutions of different concentrations as curing agents. Numbers in parentheses in column 1 indicate the final concentration of the curing agent in the adhesive solution. Numbers in parentheses in columns 3 and 4 indicate the standard deviations.
