Adhesive forms

Surface preparation of concrete consists mainly of removing laitence, form oils and air pockets. Laitence is the fine cement powder that floats to the surface of concrete when it is placed. Coatings applied over such a powdery, weak layer will lose adhesion. Form oils are used for the easy stripping of forms or shuttering. Their presence will also cause loss of adhesion of subsequent coatings. Forms should be coated with non-migratory hard coatings and the use of oils or waxes prohibited. 

Office supplies and office communication have been revolutionized by the introduction of the 3M product Post-it Notes in 1980. The temporary adhesive of these self-sticking notes actually was initially rejected as a glue by its inventor, 3M chemist Spencer Silver, because of its impermanence. However, 3M researcher Art Fry found a niche for the adhesive—as an adhesive for a temporary bookmark for his choir hymnal. Key to the performance of these removable, repositional adhesive products is the application of the adhesive to the backing of a note sheet via tiny microspheres rather than a continuous film. With an average particle diameter of 25-45 fim, the microsphere adhesives form a discontinuous layer that assists in retaining the ability to re-apply the note to new surfaces. Traditional adhesive tape contains particles of smaller dimension (typically 0.1 to 2.0 pm) that coalesce to form a continuous film that limits removal. ... 

The transdermal adhesive form of scopolamine Transderm Scop) provides up to 72 hours of antiemetic protection when applied to the postauricular area. Side effects are similar to those of oral scopolamine (see Chapter 13) but milder. 

Heat curing epoxy systems may consist of one or two components. The nomenclature is similar to that employed with the room temperature curing adhesives (e.g., resin component, curing agent component, 2Ksystem, etc.). Many heat curing epoxy adhesives systems are liquids or pastes. However, heat curing systems also can be processed into solid adhesive forms (e.g., powders and films). This chapter describes the paste and liquid formulations solid adhesive forms are considered separately in Chap. 13.

Figure 1 illustrates the fact that resins and adhesives formed by the possible combinations of a phenolic compound, a nitrogenous compound, an aldehyde compound, and a carbohydrate have been reported in the literature. The exact conditions used to formulate the resins and adhesives represented in Figure 1 vary considerably. For example, additional circles representing acidic, basic, and neutral reaction conditions could be added. In most instances, the exact chemistry that occurs during the formulation of resins at each intersection is not known. Indeed, in many cases, the component actually reacting into the resin or adhesive system may not be the original carbohydrate added at the start. In this and other respects, these formulations will overlap with those discussed in the next section. 

For the production of many recombinant proteins, cellular insolubility is a major problem because it is often difficult to achieve biological activity starting with such products (57). However, because the polyphenolic protein produced in vivo is a preadhesive, in vitro activation to the adhesive form is required. Therefore, in vivo insolubility may actually be desirable in the case of the polyphenolic protein because this could result in increased resistance to yeast proteases and better product uniformity and quantity.

Adhesives form an important class of materials entirely consisting of polymers. In this application, both the bulk mechanical properties of the polymers and their Interfacial behaviour determine the performance. Strong adsorption is required for proper adhesive joints. Small amounts of low-molecular-weight impurities may adversely affect the segment adsorption energy. A fundamental understanding of such competitive adsorption phenomena is mandatory for improving these products.

These adhesives form a special class of adhesives, in which the adhesive mechanism is derived mainly from the formulation of the components. PSAs are highly viscous liquids that contain, in addition to a polymeric skeleton, special tackifying agents that gives them their adhesive character. The tackifying agents are what cause contact adhesives to stick immediately when pressed onto a plastic surface. This immediate adhesion is called tack. 

Since contact adhesives form flexible adhesive layers that are deformable to a certain extent and are thus able to compensate for material stresses, they are particularly suitable for materials such as leather, rubber, sole material (shoe industry) and so on. 

Shown here are focal adhesions (a) and 3D adhesions (b) on the surfaces of human fibroblasts. Cells were grown directly on the flat surface of a culture dish (a) or on a three-dimensional matrix of ECM components (b). The shape, distribution, and composition of the Integrin-based adhesions formed by cells vary, depending on culture conditions. [Part (a) from B. Geiger et at, 2001, Nature Rev. Mol.

Polyurethane bulk and thin-film samples are prepared from a two-part PU adhesive formed by polyaddition of Bayer Desmodur CD (89% diphenylmethane-4,4 -diisocyanate 1 with 11% uretoneimine triisocyanate 2 as additive) with a polyol mixture of Bayer Desmophen 2060BD (linear poly(propylene ether) diol... 

Virtually all the proteins in animal blood can be dispersed into useful adhesive form. These include the serum albumin and globulin and even the red cell hemoglobin [42]. The fibrin clotting substance is sometimes removed before drying (by agitation or acidification) because of its instability in solution. Thus, except for residual moisture content, dried blood is essentially 100% active adhesive protein. 

In addition to the benefits of low odor and redueed fogging, these adhesives form stronger bonds to low-energy substrates sueh as EPDM rubber, natural rubber, and other difficult-to-bond plastics. This property seems to be a funetion of the solvent action of the uncured adhesive, so care must be taken to avoid stress eraeking when the adhesive is used on sensitive substrates sueh as polyearbonates and polyaerylates.

Corporation (Golden, CO). The reactor, 1.22m wide by 2.44 m, consisted of a fiberglass-reinforced plastic I-beam frame. A transparent fluoropolymer film, treated to accept adhesives, formed the front and back windows of the reactor. The film windows were attached to the reactor frame with foam tape coated on both sides with an acrylic adhesive. The catalyst, titanium dioxide (Degussa P25), was coated onto a structured, perforated polypropylene tubular packing commonly used in oil-water separators. The Ti02 was suspended in water as a slurry and sprayed onto the tubular supports with a new paint sprayer until the supports were opaque. Fluid modeling of airflow flnough the reactor showed that a 5.1 cm PVC manifold, located at the inlet and outlet of flie reactor, would provide an even flow distribution. Small (0.6 cm) holes, drilled into flie manifold at one inch intervals, provided the even flow distribution required for efficient contact of the contaminated air with the catalyst. 

These adhesives are products of reachon between an epoxy resin and liquid polysulfide polymer, usually catalyzed by an additional tertiary amine.They are available as two-part liquids or pastes that are usually cured at room or higher temperatures to rubbery solids that provide bonds with excellent flexibility and chemical resistance. Epoxy-polysulfide adhesive forms satisfactory bonds to different substrates. Shear strength and elevated-temperature properties are low, but resistance to peel and low temperature is acceptable. ... 

The selection of the method of application depends on the adhesive form, whether liquid, paste, powder, film, or hot melt. Other factors influencing the choice of application method are the size and shape of parts to be bonded, the areas where the adhesive is to be applied, and production volume and rate. ...
