This paper presents the synthesis of a new type of flexible epoxy curing agent and an approach to improve the toughness of epoxy resin by curing without reducing the strength and modulus of the resin-cured material. The results show that the degree of toughness reaches maximum values when the flexible curing agent is applied at weight percentages (wt.%) between 10% and 15%. When the amount of flexible curing agent added to epoxy resin weight is 10wt.%, the impact toughness and fracture toughness increases by 33.3% and 96.3%, respectively, compared with the pure epoxy resin. When the amount of flexible curing agent added to epoxy is 10wt.%, the resulting impact thoughness of the material is 19.5 kJ•m-2 at-50°C, the impact toughness of pure epoxy resin is only 7.96 kJ•m-2.

AbstractPresent work studies the effect of particle reinforcement on fracture toughness of bio-composites. The filler used has been taken as rice husk. Epoxy resin has been taken as matrix material. Composites with varying filler loading of 10, 20, 30 and 40 wt.% were fabricated. The fracture toughness was seen to be increasing with increase in filler loading. However beyond 20% there was a decrease in fracture toughness with increase in filler loading. The effect of fibre treatment on toughness was also observed. Rice husk fibres pre-treated with NaOH were used. It was observed that fracture toughness further improved due to treatment. The increase in fracture toughness was significant. Fracture toughness increased from 1.072 to 2.7465 MPa√mm for 20% reinforcement and after treatment it increased to 2.876 MPa√mm. It was observed that concentration of treatment media also affects the fracture toughness. Further the effect of hybridization was observed by addition of rice husk ash as a secondary reinforcement. The fracture toughness of the resulting composites was remarkably higher than that of pure epoxy.

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.

The epoxy resin was modified with the mixture of α,ω-dihydroxy poly-(3,3,3-trifluoropropyl) siloxane (PTFPMS), KH560 and stannous octoate. KH560 can react with PTFPMS and also epoxy resin curing agent. The two reactions were characterized by FI-IR. The modified epoxy resin was characterized by FI-IR. The result showed that fluorine-containing silicone had been successfully introduced into the epoxy system. The mechanical and thermal properties of the modified epoxy resin were analyzed. The results showed that with the increase of PTFPMS the impact strength of epoxy resin increased, hardness and bending strength correspondingly reduced, slight decrease in the glass transition temperature.

Polyether imidazole ionic liquid (PIIL) was blended with general-purpose epoxy resin (EP). PIIL/EP was cured by ethylenediamine curing agent. The structure of PIIL/EP was determined by FTIR. The effect of the content of PIIL on the impact strength of EP was studied. The toughness of epoxy resin could be significantly improved by PIIL.

Purpose The flammability of epoxy resin is a major disadvantage in applications that require flame resistance. Epoxy monomers and hardeners containing flame-retardant elements are molecularly incorporated in the resin network are expected to exhibit better flame resistance than those borne on an additive approach. In recent years, because of health and environmental regulation, the use of waterborne coatings has received many attentions. However, waterborne epoxy resin curing agent with excellent flame retardancy has been seldom reported. The paper aims to study the preparation of waterborne P-N-containing epoxy resin curing agent and its performances (P-N – phosphorous and nitrogen). Design/methodology/approach Waterborne P-N-containing epoxy curing agent was prepared in this study using reactive flame retardant 10-(2,5-dihydroxyphenyl)-9,10-dihydro-9-xa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide, liquid epoxy resin, triethylenetetramine and butyl glycidyl ether at the mole ratio of 1.0:2.0:2.0:2.0. Findings The results show that the epoxy thermoset from the prepared P-N-containing curing agent presents good flame retardancy and can pass the V-1 rating, and the cured epoxy thermoset film presents excellent performances such as water resistance, adhesion, impact resistance and pencil hardness. This study provides useful suggestions for the application of the water-borne flame retardancy epoxy resins in coating industry. Research limitations/implications Each step of products during the preparation of waterborne P-N-containing epoxy curing agent cannot be accurately tested. Originality/value This method for synthesis of waterborne P-N-containing epoxy curing agent is novel and could be used for various applications in epoxy coating industry.

The Impact

The brittle fracture prevention model is of great importance to the safety of pressure vessels. Compared to the semi-empirical approach adopted in various pressure vessel standards, a model based on Master Curve technique is developed in this paper. Referring to ASME nuclear code, the safety features including the lower bound fracture toughness and a margin factor equal to 2 for the stress intensity factor produced by primary stress are adopted in the new model. The technical background of the brittle fracture model in ASME VIII-2 has been analyzed and discussed, and then its inappropriate items have been modified in the new model. Minimum design temperature curves, impact toughness requirements, and temperature adjustment for low stress condition are established on the basis of new model. The comparison with the relevant curves in ASME VIII-2 is also made. The applicability of the new model is verified by the measured fracture toughness and impact toughness data of several kinds of pressure vessel steels. The results suggest that the minimum design temperature and the impact test requirements derived by the new model are compatible with each other. More testing data of different steels to check this model is necessary for further engineering application.

The cure process and the mechanical properties of liquid polymethylmethacrylate grafted natural rubber (LMG30) modified epoxy have been studied. Addition of LMG30 significantly increased the fracture toughness and the impact strength of the epoxy resin. The fracture toughness increased up to 22 fold (17.3 MNm-3/2) when modified with 5 phr LMG30. The glass transition temperature however, decreases as the rubber content increases. The SEM analysis shows uniform dispersion of rubber particles within the epoxy matrix with average particle size between 0.4 to 0.8 0m in diameter.

The EP/ZnO nanocomposites were prepared by using epoxy resin as matrix, nanoZnO as the modifier, polyamide as curing agent. The surface morphology of nanoZnO was observed,the average particle diameter of nanoZnO is 20nm. Their mechanics properties were studied and the experiment results were analyzed. The results indicated that the compressive stress-strain curves of the nanocomposites had obvious three phases characters, i.e., linear elastic phase, plastic yield flat phase and compact phase. Along with the nanograins content of the nanocomposites increasing, the compressive elastic modulus and compressive strength of the nanocomposites augmented. When the nanograins content is 5% and the transfiguration speed is 10mm/min, the compressive elastic modulus and compressive strength of the nanocomposites respectively improved 36.4% and 48.9% comparing with their of the pure epoxy resin. At the same nanograins content, with the transfiguration speed increasing, their compressive strength added.
