Abstract:
A curable composition includes a first part comprising an epoxy resin; and a second part comprising a multifunctional, functional thiol containing compound. The curable composition further includes an inorganic filler present in an amount of at least 20 weight %, based on the total weight of the curable composition. The multifunctional, functional thiol containing compound comprises an ether in the backbone thereof.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides a curable, one-part epoxy/thiol resin composition. The composition comprises an epoxy/thiol resin mixture including: an epoxy resin component including an epoxy resin having at least two epoxide groups per molecule, a thiol component including a polythiol compound having at least two primary thiol groups, and a nitrogen- containing catalyst for the epoxy resin. The epoxy/thiol resin mixture further includes metal nanoparticles (e.g., silver nanoparticles, copper nanoparticles, or both), dispersed in the epoxy/thiol resin mixture. The present disclosure provides a method of curing a curable, one-part epoxy/thiol resin composition, including providing a curable, one-part epoxy/thiol resin composition and heating the composition to a temperature of at least 50°C.
Abstract:
Curable compositions are provided including a curable system that requires a thermally generated amine to cause curing of the system, and a self-assembled particle distributed in the curable system. The curable system contains at least one reactive moiety and the self-assembled particle comprises a reactive amine ionically bound to a chromonic network. A multilayer article is also provided, including a substrate, a chromonic amine layer disposed on the substrate, and a curable layer disposed on the chromonic amine layer. Methods of making a cured composition and of adhering two substrates together are further provided.
Abstract:
The composition includes a polyester resin comprising at least one α,β-unsaturated ester group, an epoxy resin, a compound comprising at least one hydroxyl group; and a photoinitiator that generates acid on exposure to actinic radiation. A method of repairing a damaged surface using the composition is also described.
Abstract:
A curable composition is provided comprising a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer, a urethane (urea) phosphonate adhesion promoter, optionally reactive diluents, and an initiator. The use of the urethane (urea) phosphonate adhesion promotor provides better ageing stability and adhesion, as measured by T-peel adhesion test, than the use of other conventional adhesion promotors.
Abstract:
Reaction mixtures, foams prepared from the reaction mixtures, articles containing the foams, and methods of making the foams are provided. The polymeric material in the foam is formed from a polymerizable composition that includes a di(meth)acrylate oligomer and a monomer having a single ethylenically unsaturated group. The foams are highly filled (e.g., at least 60 volume percent of the foam is the filler) and can be thermally conductive. Although the foams contain a large amount of filler, the foams can be compressed at least 40 volume percent with an applied pressure of 50 pounds per square inch (345 kiloPascals).
Abstract:
The disclosure relates to compositions, methods of applying such compositions, and methods for curing such compositions to a depth of cure of up to about 30 mm within about 0.5 second to about two minutes per light exposure area.
Abstract:
Compositions are provided that include a coating and porous polymeric particles disposed in the coating. Adhesive articles are also provided including a substrate and a composition disposed on a first major surface of the substrate. The composition includes an adhesive and porous polymeric particles disposed in the adhesive. Further, a method of coating a substrate is provided including providing a composition, providing a substrate having a surface, and applying the composition on the surface of the substrate. The compositions and adhesive articles can be applied to wet substrates or dry substrates.
Abstract:
A curable composition that includes a urethane multifunctional (meth)acrylate, an inorganic filler having a primary particle dimension of at least 200 nm, a photoinitiator system that can be activated by electromagnetic radiation in the range of 340 – 550 nm, a reactive diluent, and a reinforcing silica having a primary particle dimension of 100 nm of less. The sum of the absolute value of the difference in the refractive index of the filler and the refractive index of the composition cured without filler plus the birefringence of the filler is 0.054 or less, i.e. 0.054 ≥ |n filler – n matrix | + δ filler , where n filler is the refractive index of the filler, n matrix is the refractive index of the composition cured without filler, and δ filler is the birefringence of the filler.
Abstract:
Composite particles are provided including a chemical blowing agent particle encapsulated within a shell including an uncrosslinked thermoplastic material. The uncrosslinked thermoplastic material exhibits at least a certain minimum complex viscosity at a decomposition temperature of the chemical blowing agent particle. Also described are compositions and foam compositions containing the composite particles. Further, articles are provided including the foam compositions, such as a sheet, tape, or hearing protection article. Methods of making and using the foam compositions are additionally described herein.
