Reviewer 2 Report
The paper is interesting and fits with the scope of journal. Minor comments are reported below.
1)The reviewer suggests to improve the quality of abstract.
2) The reviewer suggests to improve the description of the experimetal procedure. The test where performed in displacement or force control? At which rate? Which testing machine? Etc...
3) The reviewer suggests to introduce some photos of experimental tests.
4)The reviewer suggests to expand the characterization of adhesive joints in the introduction. See below
