The growing importance of carbon fiber reinforced polymers in aerospace and automotive industry is due to their high lightweight potential and the specific mechanical properties. Judith Moosburger‐Will, Markus G. R. Sause, Robert Horny, Siegfried Horn, Jochen Scholler, and Llorenç Llopard Prieto investigate direct joining of partially cross‐linked and freshly infiltrated carbon fiber reinforced epoxy resin plates made from HTA/RTM6 as function of the partial curing degree. The bonding behavior and the interface morphology of the joined plates are analyzed by mechanical testing, acoustic emission analysis, and microscopy. The cover shows a cross sectional images of interface region of a joined sample. (DOI: 10.1002/app.42159 )
