The current study provides a detailed and contemporary review of adhesively bonded joints (ABJs) in composite materials and designs, emphasizing recent developments in the field. It explores various joint configurations, failure mechanisms, adhesive materials, manufacturing techniques, and surface treatment techniques (plasma, laser surface treatment, and surface grinding), and it compares mechanical joining techniques for ABJs. And also discuss the impact of design parameters on the mechanical behaviour of ABJs. The paper discussed experimental studies, covering both quasi-static and dynamic behaviors and environmental factors (temperature, humidity, hydrothermal aging, and UV exposure), which are discussed in detail for ABJs. The findings revealed that bonding techniques, surface modification to improve the adherend roughness, incorporation of nanofillers, and changes in joint geometry are crucial in enhancing the shear strength, flexural behavior, and vibration behavior of adhesive composite joints. These insights underscore the potential for future research in optimizing ABJ performance. • A detailed classification for adhesively bonded joints (ABJs). • Surface treatment on ABJs. • Quasi-static and dynamic experiments on ABJs. • Environmental factors of ABJs. • Factors influencing the mechanical performance of ABJs through design parameters.
