<jats:p>Innovative lightweight structures realized by employing assembly injection molding bears high potential. Using assembly injection molding, complex shaped hybrid structures can be manufactured in a precise and fast processing step. Though, especially the interface quality of a hybrid joint is a crucial factor, which determines the overall quality of such lightweight structures. High bonding strength values were achieved between aluminum and multiple polymeric materials with double-lap joints manufactured by employing assembly injection molding. Thereby, the influence of aluminum surface pre-treatments as well as intrinsic adhesion modifications of the polymeric materials were investigated.</jats:p>
