| Résumé : |
The test results demonstrate that the modifiers examined in this study, whether adducted or glycidated, provide significant advantages in performance properties compared to the unmodified control formulation. Results also showed that glycidyl ester modifiers provide significant advantages over the bisphenol A epoxy adducts in their ability to reduce processing viscosity without sacrificing adhesive or toughener performance.
Other conclusions of the study include the following : The glycidyl ester modifiers are lower in viscosity and yield lower formulation mix viscosities than the industry benchmark.
Selection of the proper glycidyl ester will allow for higher Tg and desired adhesive and toughener performance.
The end group functionality appears to affect compatibility in the cured epoxy matrix, which in turn affects Tg. Glycidyl esters exhibit less compatibility than epoxy adducts and thus give higher Tg.
The study shows that adhesive properties are affected by the polymer backbone. Both polyester backbones and butadiene/acrylonitrile copolymer backbones provide good adhesion.
The best adhesion performance was achieved with glycidyl ester modifiers prepared using a CTBN.
No individual modifier will yield optimal results in all applications. The results of this study, however, demonstrate that there are newer alternatives with the potential to deliver better performance results in applications in which a low-viscosity modifier is needed. Glycidyl esters offer a number of advantages over the industry benchmark and, therefore, should be considered as the market continues to move toward products that are both energy- and cost-efficient. |
