repair of disbonds (delaminations)

I certainly hope that the repair is not based on injection of fresh adhesive into the disbond. Adhesive bonds depend on formation of chemical bonds at the interface between the adhesive and the substrate. If a material has disbonded, then the surface is not chemically active and hence forcing new adhesive in will only fill the gap, not re-bond the component. Injection repairs are totally ineffective and I defy anyone to produce test data to show any restoration of strength.
