Method for connecting two intermediate products (11a, 11b) for forming a fiber composite product, wherein the two intermediate products (11a, 11b) respectively consist of composite fiber material with a layer of matrix material and reinforcing fibers extending therein by means of connecting areas that adjoin one another in an overlapping region of the interconnected intermediate products (11a, 11b), with the method featuring the following steps:
■ applying an adhesive layer (1) that features an adhesive film (2) with a plurality of connecting particles (9) onto the connecting areas (18a, 18b) of the intermediate products (11 a, 11 b) in such a way that at least a portion of the plurality of connecting particles (9) sectionally comes in contact with reinforcing fibers of the first connecting area or the second connecting area,
■ arranging the second intermediate product (11b) on the first intermediate product (11a) or vice versa in such a way that the connecting areas (18a, 18b) at least partially overlap one another,
■ connecting the two intermediate products,

wherein the invention also pertains to a structural component (19) that consists of at least a first (11a) and a second (11b) fiber-reinforced intermediate product produced in accordance with such a method,
such a fiber composite product, a method for producing an adhesive layer (1) for connecting the intermediate products anda production device for carrying out such a method.
