heal.abstract	The current work focuses on the testing of a novel material used as an adhesive film in Composite Patch Repair (CPR). A series of Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) results along with various curing cycles not only led to the optimum material composition but also demonstrated the compatibility to the composite pre-impregnated patches. This in turn was subjected to mechanical testing including shear strength measurements. The substrate was chosen to be 2017 T4 aluminium alloy which is customarily used in the aerospace industry, taking into account that CPR is a technique mainly applied in this field. The subsequent surface preparation of the specimens was investigated for the specified context resulting to the selection of the Ferric Sulphate Sulphuric acid etching process. Finally, a series of specimens representing actual skin repairs were created and subjected to cyclic loading, specifying the suitability of the novel material, compared to commercially available materials. © 2008 American Institute of Physics.	en
