Development of adhesives

The target of the development of adhesive resins is to achieve high reactivities mitigated by consideration of the storage stability of the resin or the pot life of the glue mix. The reactivity of a glue resin and of a glue mix is determined by various parameters ... 

With the development of adhesion science and technology, it has become relatively straightforward to produce adhesive bonds of very reasonable strength between most materials which are in general use. An informed choice of adhesive together with appropriate preparation of the surface will produce a strong bond.

It can be expected, then, that one of the major problems in adhesives technology is the development of adhesives that must withstand both elevated temperatures as well as periodic excursions to low temperatures. Several solutions have been developed. Certain adhesive systems, notably blends of epoxy resin with more elastic resins, have been formulated with a very broad glass transition temperature range or with multiple glass transitions at both high and low temperatures. These have found some success in the applications discussed in this chapter.

The date of the symposium on which this book is based marked the 15th anniversary of the severe petroleum shortage of 1973—1974. Much of the research presented in this volume was begun in the early 1970s in response to shortages of petroleum-based adhesives for the forest products industry when the nation was in the midst of a record-setting demand for housing materials. Left with this indelible memory, the forest products industry has supported the development of adhesives from renewable resources.

All of the studies mentioned are directed to lignins derived from pulp and paper manufacture. This requires that a traditionally conservative pulp and paper industry embark on further development as a chemical producer. However, Helena Chum and her colleagues (Chapter 11) derive their phenolics from lignin by fast pyrolysis of wood rather than as byproducts from the pulp and paper industry. Opportunities might be better for development of adhesives from a chemical manufacturer drawing on waste wood as a raw material much the same as has developed in the production of furan resins derived from agricultural residues described by Bill McKillip (Chapter 29).

In PET films containing CaCOs, the adhesion of the film was less than that of unfilled film. This is due to the replacement of the adhesion promoting surface by filler which has no adhesive properties.In UV cured adhesives, quartz filler contributed to a faster development of adhesion due to its transparency to the UV radiation used for curing.In polymer blends filler was accumulated at the interphase between polymers. Adhesion depended on the interaction of filler with both polymers and on the particle size of filler. ... 

Adhesion Regarding the development of adhesive forces, the adhesives described differ only marginally. The most important parameter is basically the respective condition of the adherend surface to be bonded. 

Mechanical adhesion Development of adhesive forces by positive joining of the adhesive layer in geometrical surface structures (pores, capillaries, roughnesses). 

Polarity Differences in electric charges in molecules. In adhesive molecules in particular responsible for the development of adhesive forces. See dipole. 

The recent progress in polymer synthesis and nanotechnology is stimulating the development of adhesives with improved performance. A few percent of nanometer-scale additives can be added to formulations in order to achieve significant changes in property profiles. Molecular nanoparticles and nanometer-scale, highly branched polymers can be dispersed in order to facilitate energy dissipation at the crack tip by means of multiple plastic deformation. The self assembly of nanoparticles forms skeleton-like superstructures which account for... 

Soluble silicates as an adhesive had long been used in small amounts when in the 1890 s there began an intensive and continuing effort to produce paper boxes to compete with the wooden packaging then in general use. Paperboard with a corrugated ply between two sheets and complex machines were developed. The later development of adhesive and cement uses... 

Finally, we developed a safe synthetic route for the production of 3,3-dimethoxy methyl propionate by a palladium-catalyzed oxidation of methyl acrylate in methanol using oxygen as oxidant. In 21 scale experiments, we could reach 82% yield of 99% pure 3,3-dimethoxy methyl propionate. This synthetic procedure will aid the development of adhesives, pharmaceutics, agrochemicals, and functionalized polymers. 

Avery useful aspectof latex-modified mortars and concretes is their improved adhesion or bond strength to various substrates compared to conventional mortar and concrete. The development of adhesion is attributed to the high adhesion of polymers. The adhesion is usually affected by polymer-cement ratio and the properties of substrates used. The data on adhesion often show considerable scatter, and may vary depending on the testing methods, service conditions or porosity of substrates. 

Adhesion to metal is sometimes difficult to achieve. However, due to the development of adhesion promoters industrial applications on metal exist. Electronics applications are important photoresists (both wet and dry film), solder masks, potting compounds, and conformal coatings are products based on UV-curable materials.

Despite the enormous number of spectroscopic techniques that have been described and developed, only a limited number are commercially available and are actually used in the study and development of adhesive bonding materials. These techniques will be described in more detail in this section.
