The paper represents ozone resistance of rubbers based on carboxylated nitrile butadiene rubber cured with epoxy resins and magnesium oxide. Ozone resistance was investigated using the express-method at a flow rate of the ozone-air mixture of 9 l/h and ozone content of 9 mg/l. In the method used, the “time to cracking start” indicator was taken as the basic indicator of ozone resistance. The second indicator characterizing the ozone resistance of elastomeric materials was the "rate of destruction" in the main period of destruction. There has been evaluated the effect of dissolved polyvinyl chloride in epoxy resin ED-20 on the properties of vulcanizates. There has been investigated the Increase in destruction time under the action of ozone.

Many epoxy resins have been introduced during the last several years as replacements for Epon 812 since the Shell Chemical Company discontinued production of this popular embedding resin. In a past study, the present investigators examined several of the “replacement” resins for physical characteristics such as viscosity, flow rate, density, mass weight, and hardness of the polymerized medium. In addition, other equally important parameters including sectioning and infiltrating character as well as stain-ability and section strength subsequent to beam and vacuum conditions also were evaluated. The present work follows a similar rationale and seeks to determine this same information for Eponate 12, an epoxy resin designated as a true generic replacement for the formerly available Epon 812 product.For purposes of physical comparisons, Eponate 12 was tested against a sample of original Shell Epon 812 still maintained in our laboratory.

Since the introduction of epoxy resins as embedding material for electron microscopy, the list of new formulations and variations of widely accepted mixtures has grown rapidly. Described here is a resin system utilizing Maraglas 655, Dow D.E.R. 732, DDSA, and BDMA, which is a variation of the mixtures of Lockwood and Erlandson. In the development of the mixture, the Maraglas and the Dow resins were tested in 3 different volumetric proportions, 6:4, 7:3, and 8:2. Cutting qualities and characteristics of stability in the electron beam and image contrast were evaluated for these epoxy mixtures with anhydride (DDSA) to epoxy ratios of 0.4, 0.55, and 0.7. Each mixture was polymerized overnight at 60°C with 2% and 3% BDMA.Although the differences among the test resins were slight in terms of cutting ease, general tissue preservation, and stability in the beam, the 7:3 Maraglas to D.E.R. 732 ratio at an anhydride to epoxy ratio of 0.55 polymerized with 3% BDMA proved to be most consistent. The resulting plastic is relatively hard and somewhat brittle which necessitates trimming and facing the block slowly and cautiously to avoid chipping. Sections up to about 2 microns in thickness can be cut and stained with any of several light microscope stains and excellent quality light photomicrographs can be taken of such sections (Fig. 1).

Epoxy resins have been presenting a lot of scientific and technical interests and organic modified epoxy resins have recently receiving a great deal of attention. For obtaining the composite materials with good mechanical proprieties, a large variety of organic modification agents were used. For this study gluten and gelatin had been used as modifying agents thinking that their dispersion inside the polymer could increase the polymer biocompatibility. Equal amounts of the proteins were milled together and the obtained compound was used to form 1 to 5% weight ratios organic agents modified epoxy materials. To highlight the effect of these proteins in epoxy matrix mechanical tests as three-point bending and compression were performed.

A novel liquid phosphorous-containing flame retardant anhydride (LPFA) with low viscosity was synthesized from 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide (DOPO) and methyl tetrahydrophthalic anhydride (MeTHPA) and further cured with bisphenol-A epoxy resin E-51 for the preparation of the flame retardant epoxy resins. Both Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), mass spectrometry (MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) measurements revealed the successful incorporation of DOPO on the molecular chains of MeTHPA through chemical reaction. The oxygen index analysis showed that the LPFA-cured epoxy resin exhibited excellent flame retardant performance, and the corresponding limiting oxygen index (LOI) value could reach 31.2%. The UL-94V-0 rating was achieved for the flame retardant epoxy resin with the phosphorus content of 2.7%. With the addition of LPFA, the impact strength of the cured epoxy resins remained almost unchanged, but the flexural strength gradually increased. Meanwhile, all the epoxy resins showed good thermal stability. The glass transition temperature (Tg) and thermal decomposition temperature (Td) of epoxy resin cured by LPFA decreased slightly compared with that of MeTHPA-cured epoxy resin. Based on such excellent flame retardancy, low viscosity at room temperature and ease of use, LPFA showed potential as an appropriate curing agent in the field of electrical insulation materials.

Thermal stability and thermal degradation kinetics of epoxy resins with 2-(Diphenylphosphinyl)-1, 4-benzenediol were investegated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) at different heating rates of 5 K/min, 10 K/min, 20 K/min and 40 K/min. The thermal degradation kinetic mechanism and models of the modified epoxy resins were determined by Coast Redfern method.The results showed that epoxy resins modified with the flame retardant had more thermal stability than pure epoxy resin. The solid-state decomposition mechanism of epoxy resin and the modified epoxy resin corresponded to the controlled decelerating ځ˽̈́˰̵̳͂͆ͅ˼˰̴̱̾˰̸̵̈́˰̵̸̳̱̹̽̾̓̽˰̶̳̹̾̈́̿̾̓ͅ˰̶˸ځ˹˰̵̵͇͂˰̃˸́˽ځ˹2/3.

Abstract 1. The vulcanization of rubber in the presence of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolylsulfenamide is characterized by an S-shaped curve for the addition of sulfur with an initial induction period in the reaction. The modulus and number of crosslinks are changed in an analogous manner to the structure of the vulcanizate. 2. The energy of activation of the addition of sulfur in the initial period is equal to 30 kcal per mole as against 14 kcal per mole in the main period. 3. The induction period is increased if the sodium-butadiene rubber is purified from alkali. 4. Molecular oxygen present in the compound being vulcanized decreases the induction period and increases the rate of the addition of the sulfur in the main period. An induction period is not observed when vulcanization is carried out in an atmosphere of pure oxygen. 5. The interaction of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolylsulfenamide with rubber (in the absence of sulfur) at vulcanization temperatures is accompanied by the formation of MBT, diethylamine, and the addition of the elements of the accelerator to the rubber. The kinetics of this process were studied. 6. The interaction of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide with rubber leads to the formation of chemical crosslinks between the molecules of rubber (the effect of vulcanization). 7. The change of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide under the conditions of normal sulfur vulcanization has the same character as in the interaction of it with rubber. The kinetics of the formation of MBT have a maximum which coincides with the maximum rate of the addition of sulfur to the rubber. 8. A mechanism is presented for the vulcanization and acceleration actions of N,N-diethyl-2-benzothiazolyl sulfenamide which provides for the extraction of hydrogen by the accelerator radicals from the molecular chains of the rubber with the formation of MBT, diethylamine and polymer radicals which are able to interact with the sulfur.

The outcomes of studying epoxy-based composite materials supplemented with microsilica are provided in the article. Microsilica was used as a filler. The samples were produced on the epoxy ED-20 basis supplemented with 2, 5 and 10 mas. % of microsilica. The structure and size of finely dispersed filler particles were defined. The obtained composites were tested for resistance to the effect of variable temperatures, corrosive, and abrasion. The study outcomes proved that samples supplemented with 2% of microsilica are more resistant to acid and alkali as well as to petrol than those ones supplemented with 25% of microsilica. Besides the amount of the filler from 2 to 10% doesn’t sufficiently affect the resistance to variable temperatures. When microsilica is added to epoxy resin, it causes scuff resistance increase. The conducted testing proved that the developed composite materials are resistant to the effect of variable temperatures, corrosive, and abrasion. This enables to use these materials as coatings and anti-corrosion protection during machine maintenance.
