Joining of carbon fibre reinforced polymer (CFRP) composites and aluminium alloys-A review

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated comprehensive knowledge regarding joining CFRP and aluminium alloys in available literature in terms of available methods, bonding processing and mechanism and properties. But no model is found to predict the properties of jointed structures, which makes it difficult to select one over another in applications.
