It was found that to increase the adhesive and physicomechanical properties of compositions based on epoxy resin and polysulfide rubber (thiokol), cured without heat treatment, it is necessary to carry out a preliminary thioetherification reaction (PRTE) due to the interaction of rubber mercaptan groups and oxirane cycles of epoxy resin at elevated temperatures and then use the product of this reaction to cure at room temperature. Composite materials based on the products of the thioetherification reaction significantly surpass analogs based on mechanical mixtures of epoxy resin and thiokol in terms of cohesive and adhesive strength, deformation capacity, fracture work, and specific impact strength. It is shown that the introduction of both diluents and plasticizers into the products of the preliminary thioetherification reaction of epoxy resins and polysulfide rubbers leads to an increase in the parameters of tensile strength and deformation capacity. The greatest strengthening effect is achieved with the use of oligoesteracrylate MGF-9 and glycidyl ether of diethylene glycol DEG-1, the smallest - with the introduction of the plasticizer EDOS. It was found that the introduction of plasticizers promotes some increase in the adhesive strength, but much less in comparison with the cohesive strength. In this case, the adhesion and cohesive characteristics change antibatically. It has been shown by dynamic mechanical spectrometry that the presence of diluents and plasticizers in epoxy-polysulfide composites leads to a decrease in the temperatures of the maximum values of the tangent of the angle of mechanical losses, loss modulus, the initial and final sections of the transition of the material from the glassy to the highly elastic state, as well as the density of the chemical network in the epoxy matrix.

In order to improve the adhesive and physical-mechanical properties of epoxy-thiocol compositions cured without heat treatment, we propose to carry out the reaction of interaction between thiokol mercaptan groups and oxirane cycles of epoxy resin at an elevated temperature before introducing a curing agent, and then use the product of this thioetherification reaction for curing at room temperature. The temperature range of the thioetherification reaction (90–1800С) was determined by the method of differential scanning calorimetry. The optimal temperature (1600С) and duration of the preliminary thioetherification reaction (2 hours) were determined, which ensure the maximum level of adhesive strength and physical-mechanical properties. It was shown that composite materials based on the products of the thioetherification reaction significantly outperform analogs based on mechanical mixtures of epoxy resin and thiokol in terms of cohesive and adhesive strength, deformation capacity, fracture work and specific impact strength. The impact resistance and shear strength of adhesive joints are especially significantly increased during the curing of the compositions without external heat supply.

Detailed formation of precast floor slab connectors has significant effect on their shear capacity, but there is no such specific provision on it at present. The effects of detailed formations on the shear strength, stiffness and deformation capacity of hairpin connectors(HPC) were studied, through numerical simulation analysis under in-plane shear force. The imbedded depth (d), slug length (h), steel plate thickness (t) and its stickout(s) were taken as parameters. The analysis results show that: ⅰ) the increase of imbedded depth can improve the bearing capacity and stiffness of HPC, but decrease the deformation capacity; ⅱ) with the increase of slug length, the HPC strength, stiffness and deformation capacity raised a lot; ⅲ) the steel plates’ thickness has small effect on the stiffness, but has strong impact on the strength and deformation capacity of HPC. ⅳ) the stickout can affect the initial stiffness and yield strength of HPC slightly, but has a considerable impact on its ultimate strength and deformation capacity. On the basis of analysis, recommendations on formation details of HPC are proposed for design and construction.

In this study epoxy phenol novalac resin which consists of silica nanoparticles and unsaturated poly ester resin linked to the Silane and cross linking to that structure and also parameters affecting the processes involved have been evaluated. Cross linking in phenol novalac epoxy resins effects on many properties such as thermal, electrical, mechanical and chemical attributes especially in elevated temperatures. Silane cross-linking’s in phenol novalac epoxy resin with respect to other methods like proxiding, irradiation and utilization of Azo compounds, looks to be a very simple and low cost route, which makes it very encouraging for various industries. Unsaturated poly ester resin is compatible with phenol novalac epoxy resin and also creates some cross-linking and as far as tri methoxy Silane is added to the mentioned resin, its thermal, physical and mechanical properties are optimized. In this literature impact, tension, glass transition temperature, humidity absorption, FTIR and Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) tests were done and the results revealed that as the cross-linking occurs, tension in rupture region increases. This increase is more common at elevated temperatures. The growth in content of silica nanoparticles leads to a drop in water permeability of phenol novalac epoxy resin nanocomposite which contains unsaturated poly ester resin.

AbstractIn order to improve the compatibility of flame retardant and epoxy resin, a phosphorus nitrogen flame retardant curing agent poly(p-xylylenediamine spirocyclic pentaerythritol bisphosphonate) (PPXSPB) was synthesized. FTIR, 1HNMR, and mass spectroscopy were used to identify the chemical structure of PPXSPB. Epoxy resin (E-44) and PPXSPB as the raw material, a series of thermosetting systems were prepared. The effects of PPXSPB on flame retardancy, water resistance, thermal degradation behavior, mechanical properties and the adhesive strength of EP/PPXSPB thermosets were investigated. The results show that with the increase of phosphorus content, the oxygen index and carbon residue of the system both increased significantly, and the heat release rate gradually decreased, which is of great significance in delaying the occurrence of fire. When the phosphorus content is 3.24% in EP/PPXSPB thermosets, EP-2 can successfully pass the UL94 V-0 flammability rating, the LOI value of EP-2 can reach 31.4%, the impact strength and tensile strength was 6.58 kJ/m2 and 47.10 MPa respectively, and the adhesive strength was 13.79 MPa, the system presents a good overall performance.

A bio-derived dihydroxylimine hardener, Van2HMDA, for the curing of epoxy resin was prepared from vanillin (Van) and hexamethylene-1,6-diamine (HMDA) by Schiff base formation. The epoxy resin of diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A was cured with Van2HMDA in the presence of the catalyst, 2-ethyl-4-methylimidazole (EMI). The crosslinked epoxy resin showed thermal-healing properties at elevated temperatures. Moreover, the crosslinked epoxy resin can be reshaped by heating via imine metathesis of the hardener units. The imine metathesis of Van2HMDA was confirmed experimentally. Stress-relaxation properties of the epoxy resin crosslinked with Van2HMDA were investigated, and the activation energy obtained from Arrhenius plots of the relaxation times was 44 kJ/mol. The imine bonds in the epoxy polymer matrix did not undergo hydrolysis after immersing in water at room temperature for one week. However, in the presence of acid, the crosslinked polymer was easily decomposed due to the hydrolysis of imine bonds. The hydrolysis of imine bonds was used for the ecofriendly recycling of crosslinked polymer. It is inferred that thermal-healing, reshaping, and reprocessing properties can be implemented in the various crosslinked epoxy resins with the bio-derived dihydroxylimine hardener, albeit the recycled epoxy resin is of inevitably lower quality than the original material.

AbstractAdhesive strength of the oxidation layers on carbon steel was evaluated by means of a laser shock method, which uses a pulsed laser to generate shock wave. Oxidation for 200 hours in air created 10-micron-thick magnetite on carbon steel. Typical strength of the layer was evaluated to be about 50MPa at ambient temperature. The adhesive strength was varied from around one-tenth of yield stress to the ultimate tensile strength of the base materials. The adhesive strength of the oxide layer depended on test temperature. It is possible that the adhesive strength becomes an essential parameter for the evaluation of the protective layers.
