Epoxy shrinkage

Epoxies are the most commonly used adhesives (qv). Silver and gold are sometimes added to an epoxy to improve its thermal conductivity. Polyimide, also used as an adhesive, has low shrinkage as well as low viscosity and can be cured at 180°C its primary drawback is a tendency to absorb water, as much as 6% by weight. [Pg.527]

ASTM D883 defines a filler as "...a relatively inert material added to a plastic to modify its strength, permanence, working properties, or other quaHties or to lower costs." EiHers (qv) that modify the properties and characteristics of epoxies are employed in epoxy resins for a variety of reasons. Then principal functions are to control viscosity, reduce shrinkage and the coefficient of thermal expansion, effect a cost reduction, and color the epoxy resins. [Pg.530]

A variety of thermosetting resins are used in SMC. Polyesters represent the most volume and are available in systems that provide low shrinkage and low surface profile by means of special additives. Class A automotive surface requirements have resulted in the development of sophisticated systems that commercially produce auto body panels that can be taken direcdy from the mold and processed through standard automotive painting systems, without additional surface finishing. Vinyl ester and epoxy resins (qv) are also used in SMC for more stmcturaHy demanding appHcations. [Pg.96]

Epoxies. The unique chemical and physical properties such as excellent chemical and corrosion resistances, electrical and physical properties, excellent adhesion, thermal insulation, low shrinkage, and reasonable material cost have made epoxy resins (qv) very attractive in electronic apphcations. [Pg.189]

Although the acrylate adhesives are readily available and studies have shown that they can produce reasonable bonding properties, they have the disadvantages of having high shrinkage, high fluid absorption, and low service temperatures. Acrylate adhesive applications would be limited. The development of EB-curable epoxy adhesives would have applications in the aerospace and automotive industry and potential wider uses. The most immediate application for these resin systems is composite repair of commercial and military aircraft. [Pg.1010]

Polyester resin floor toppings, similar in performance to the epoxy toppings, have been used but, as indicated earlier, polyester systems tend to shrink and, without careful formulation and laying, shrinkage stresses with polyester resin systems can develop at the interface between the topping and the concrete substrate. Coupled with the additional stresses due to the differences in their coefficients to thermal expansion, this can cause failure at the surface of the concrete substrate." ... [Pg.106]

Epoxies Powder, one and two-part liquids and paste Many types of resins available, providing wide spectrum of properties. Easy to compound. Low shrinkage and excellent dimensional stability. Good to excellent adhesion. May be cast or molded. Coatings, sealants, adhesives, solderless PC boards. [Pg.390]

L.2.2 Linear shrinkage of epoxy grout shall be less than 0.080 percent and thermal expansion less than 54 x 10 mm/mm/°C (30 X lO in./in./°F) when tested by ASTM C 531 test method. [Pg.151]

The primary resin of interest is epoxy. Carbon-fiber-epoxy composites represent about 90% of CFRP production. The attractions of epoxy resins are that they polymerize without the generation of condensation products that can cause porosity, they exhibit little volumetric shrinkage during cure which reduces internal stresses, and they are resistant to most chemical environments. Other matrix resins of interest for carbon fibers include the thermosetting phenolics, polyimides, and polybismaleimides, as well as high-temperature thermoplastics such as polyether ether ketone (PEEK), polyethersulfone (PES), and polyphenylene sulfide. [Pg.500]

Because of the low shrinkage and the excellent adhesion, mechanical properties, and chemical resistance, epoxies have a vast variety of applications, such as adhesives (epoxyamine), structural materials in high-performance composites (epoxy-amine) (e.g., aircraft primary structure), filament wound pressure vessels, and so forth. The main disadvantage of... [Pg.90]

The characteristics of the three most common thermoset resin systems used in pultrusion are compiled in Table 11.2 [3]. It is noteworthy that unreinforced polyesters and vinylesters shrink 7-9% upon crosslinking, whereas epoxies shrink much less and tend to adhere to the die. These epoxy characteristics translate into processing difficulties, reduced processing speed, and inferior component surface finish. It is normal practice to use resin additives to improve processability, mechanical properties, electrical properties, shrinkage, environmental resistance, temperature tolerance, fire tolerance, color, cost, and volatile evaporation. It is normally the resin, or rather its reactivity, that determines the pulling speed. Typical pulling speeds for polyesters tend to be on the order of 10-20 mm/s, whereas speeds may exceed lOOmm/s under certain circumstances. Apart from the resins characterized in Table 11.2, several other thermosets, such as phenolics, acrylics, and polyurethanes, have been tried, as have several thermoplastics (as will be discussed in Sec. 11.2.6). [Pg.324]
