Epoxy/epoxies methacrylate

Specimens for (S)TEM have to be transparent to the electron beam. In order to get good contrast and resolution, they have to be thin enough to minimize inelastic scattering. The required thin sections of organic materials can be obtained by ultramicrotomy eitlier after embedding into suitable resms (mostly epoxy- or methacrylate resins [H]) or directly at low temperatures by cryo-ultramicrotomy [12].

The addition—reaction product of bisphenol A [80-05-07] and glycidyl methacrylate [106-91-2] is a compromise between epoxy and methacrylate resins (245). This BSI—GMA resin polymerizes through a free-radical induced covalent bonding of methacrylate rather than the epoxide reaction of epoxy resins (246). Mineral fillers coated with a silane coupling agent, which bond the powdered inorganic fillers chemically to the resin matrix, are incorporated into BSI—GMA monomer diluted with other methacrylate monomers to make it less viscous (245). A second monomer commonly used to make composites is urethane dimethacrylate [69766-88-7].

Rigid composites are obtained by mixing graphite powder with a non-conducting polymeric matrix into a soft paste that becomes rigid after a curing step [52,53]. They could be classified according to the nature of the binder or the polymeric matrix into epoxy composites, methacrylate composites or silicone composites.

Figure 8.5 depicts representative ranges of bond strength and elongations for typical structural adhesives such as epoxies, methacrylate, polyurethanes, and silicones. The silyl-epoxy hybrids conveniently fill the gap between the silicones and polyurethanes. 

Vinyl ester resins (VERs, epoxy methacrylates) are a major class of styrenated, free radically curable, corrosion- and chemical-resistant thermoset resins. They are largely used in fiber-reinforced structural applications, and they have a substantial history of long-term service in numerous environments at elevated temperatures and pressures, usually under load.

Another approach is to prepolymerize an epoxy methacrylate or acrylate to provide an epoxy function that can be cross-linked by acids (29, 30). More elaborate cross-linking mechanisms include oxazolines (31), which can be formed in situ.

In the case of the epoxy-acrylic graft copolymer, the epoxy is not soluble in the monomer mixture, even as low as a 10% solution. However, the epoxy resin being the majority component acts as the continuous phase. The purpose of the graft epoxy-styrene-methacrylic acid copolymer is to lower the barrier at the interface so that a stable oil-in-oil emulsion is first obtained and upon neutralization with a tertiary amine, dimethyl ethanol amine, a stable oil-in-oil emulsion in water is then obtained. 

Emulsion polymerization using the Epoxy-g-(methacrylic acid-styrene) copolymer as emulsifier. 

IV. The fourth type includes polymerization in the presence of ionic macromolecular emulsifier. In this case, monomers such as styrene, methyl methacrylate, methacrylic acid, acrylonitrle, etc. were polymerized with the neutralized epoxy-g-(methacrylic acid-styrene) copolymer as emulsifier. The initiator used was a redox system composed of sodium formaldehyde sulfoxylate-tert. butyl hydroperoxide. The base used for neutralization was dimethyl ethanol amine. 

The main monomer used is the substance generally known as bisGMA, but whose systematic chemical name is 2,2-bis[4-(2-hydroxy-3-methacrylyloxypropoxy)phenyl] propane (Fig. 3.1). Composites based on this substance were developed originally by Bowen in the early 1960s in an attempt to combine the chemistry of epoxy and methacrylate systems [9]. This monomer is a liquid of high viscosity and to prepare composite... 

Nonconducting polymers are polymeric binders (epoxy, methacrylate, silicone, araldite) which confer to the conducting composite a certain physical, chemical, or biological stability, while the electrical conductivity is provided by the conducting filler (micro or nanoparticles of platinum, gold, graphite, carbon nanotubes, etc.).

The most common conhguration for performing on-chip detection has been the embedded hber type of device as listed in Table 1. A typical setup, shown in Fig. 1, includes a light source and fiber for delivery, exit fiber connected to a detection system, microfluidic channel, and liquid delivery components. The fibers are usually embedded in chip materials consisting of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), SU-8 epoxy, polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), or glass [3].
