Adhesive Materials

With recent developments in nanotechnology, nanocomposite adhesives offer numerous advantages compared to conventional adhesive materials. Moreover, with the emergence of commercial nanomaterials such as: Nanoclays (NCs), Carbon nanotubes (CNTs), Nanosilica (NS), Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS), Tungsten disulfide (WS2) Fullerenes and Nanotubes, and Graphene nanoparticles (GNPs), new potential routes have been opened to tailor adhesives in the nanoscale range. This update will review and analyze the unique fracture mechanisms and the resultant properties of various nanocomposite adhesives based on epoxies, polyurethanes, silicones, polyimides and acrylics containing: NCs, CNTs, NS, POSS, WS2 and GNPs and their current and potential applications.

Remarkable Reduction

AbstractA remarkable reduction in reaction temperature was found for the hydrogenation of Li metal in Li-C mixture. H2 uptake started at 50°C, became vigorous at 150°C and slowed down at temperatures above 200°C. In-situ XRD characterizations revealed that Li-C intercalation compounds such as LiC6 and LiC12 existed in the Li-C samples, and LiH formed after the hydrogenation taking place. Increasing the carbon content in the Li-C mixture, from Li/C = 10:1 to 5:1 and then to 2:1, would enhance the reactivity of hydrogenation accordingly. Carbon nanotubes, with smaller size and larger specific area, showed even greater enhancement of the hydrogenation of lithium metal than graphite. The mechanism for the low temperature hydrogenation of Li-C samples was studied and discussed.
