Adhesion fillers

In rubber base adhesives, fillers may affect properties such as cohesion, cold flow, rheology and peel adhesion. Most fillers increase cohesion and reduce cold flow. In some formulations, even a small addition of filler dramatically reduces peel strength either because of interactions with the tackifier or because filler particles at the surface reduce the area of contact between the adhesive and the substrate. 

In other parts of the world, plywood adhesive fillers are obtained from local sources and may be quite different than those used in North America. In Southeast Asia, banana flour is quite important. In Europe, calcium carbonate (chalk) is often used. Nearly any fibrous material or fine particulate material capable of forming a functionally stable suspension can be made to work if the formulator is sufficiently skillful. However, the mix formulator will be very specific about the type and grade of filler to be used in a particular mix. Substitutions may lead to serious gluing problems.

Elastic adhesives deform when exposed to such internal stress and are less affected by shrinkage. Fillers also reduce the rate of shrinkage by bulk displacement of the resin in the adhesive formulation. This results in an increase in the inherent bond strength of the adhesive. Fillers may improve operational bond strength by 50 to 100 percent although all of this improvement is not due to reduced shrinkage (see Sec. 9.3.11). ... 

Several characteristics of the matrix and filler-matrix interphase are involved in material toughening. These include the particle size of filler, interfacial adhesion, filler concentration (already discussed), filler surface composition, the crystallization of the matrix, shell thickness, stress whitening, and strain hardening.

Adhesion, filler/matrix adhesion, dimensional stability, reinforcement, and wear resistance are the most important concerns in the development of dental compos-ites. These requirements are shared with composites used for many other purposes. So much as the methods of testing, mathematical models, methods of interpretation, and remedies developed in other applications may be applied to dental composites.

Nanofillers have also been used to improve the optical properties of adhesives. Magnesium oxide nanofillers in cyclic olefin or polymethylmethacrylate resin formulations have resulted in improved temperature-stable optically transparent adhesives. Filler sizes well below the wavelength of visible light (400-700 nm) were reported to greatly reduce scattered light of filled polymers and to provide optical stability and stable refractive indices over a range of temperatures. ... 

Although the primary purpose of this chapter is to discuss mechanical testing and strength of adhesive joints, the reader should be aware that ASTM covers a wide variety of tests to measure other properties. ASTM, for example, includes standard tests to measure the viscosity of uncured adhesives, density of liquid adhesive components, nonvolatile content of adhesives, filler content, extent of water absorption, stress cracking of plastics by liquid adhesives, odor, heat stability of hot-melt adhesives, ash content, and similar properties or features of adhesives.

Conductive adhesives include both electrically and thermally conductive materials. Most adhesive fillers that result in electrical conductivity in a material also contribute to its thermal conductivity. However, thermally conductive adhesives that are electrically insulative are also available.
