Tlie most common ceU case and cover materials are nylon and st) T enic (ABS). After inserting the ceU element, with cov er attached, into the ceU case, cover and case are cemented. For nylon, a most satisfactory adlieswe is phenol For styrene copoltyiiers, either a solvent seal or an ultrasonic seal is effective (see Adhesives). 

A number of cement materials are used with brick. Standard are phenolic and furan resins, polyesters, sulfur, silicate, and epoxy-based materials. Carbon-filled polyesters and furanes are good against nonoxidizing acids, salts, and solvents. Silica-filled resins should not be used against hydrofluoric or fluosihcic acids. Sulfur-based cements are limited to 93°C (200°F), while resins can be used to about 180°C (350°F). The sodium silicate-based cements are good against acids to 400°C (750°F).

Phenolic-neoprene contact cements are used for structural metal-metal bonding. especially where fatigue resistance and low temperature performance are important [209]. They are also used for bonding textiles, wood, rubbers, plastics, ceramics, and glass to metal and to one another. Solvent toxicity and flammability has greatly reduced the use of contact cements in the wood products industry. Water-based contact cements persist, but generally do not perform as well as the solvent systems, thus allowing market erosion by alternative binders. 

There are 16 grades of DuPont neoprene alone. They vary in crystallization rate and potential, viscosity, molecular weight, additive content, and other properties ([216], pp. 284-306). Selection of the right materials requires sophisticated knowledge of both the neoprenes and the phenolic additives. Guggenberger provides a good overview of this situation and some basic formulation information ([216], pp. 284-306). She also provides a prototype formula for a heat-resistant contact cement as shown in the Table 18 ([216], source Table 10, p. 293).

The consumables represent the essential food or nutritional reqirirements. Conventionally they include sugars, starches, proteins, vitamins, trace elements, oxygen, carbon dioxide and nitrogen but bacteria are probably the most omnivorous of all living organisms and to the above list may be added plastic, mbber, kerosene, naphthalene, phenol and cement. One is left feeling that there is no substance which is immune to microbial... 

Generally, cement-forming liquids are aqueous solutions of inorganic or organic adds. These adds include phosphoric add, multifunctional carboxylic adds, phenolic bodies and certain metal halides and sulphates (Table 2.1). There are also non-aqueous cement-forming liqtiids which are multidentate acids with the ability to form complexes. 

The setting reaction for the great majority of acid-base cements takes place in water. (The exceptions based on o-phenols are described in Chapter 9.) This reaction does not usually proceed with formation of a precipitate but rather yields a substance which entrains all of the water used to prepare the original cement paste. Water thus acts as both solvent and component in the formation of these cements. It is also one of the reaction products, being formed in the acid-base reaction as the cements set. 

Eugenol, 4 allyl-2-methoxy phenol, is capable of forming cements with ZnO, CuO, MgO, CaO, CdO, PbO and HgO (Brauer, White Moshonas, 1958 Nielsen, 1963). Other 2-methoxy phenols are also capable of forming cements with metal oxides, provided the allyl group is not in a 3- or 6-position where it sterically hinders the reaction (Brauer, Argentar Durany, 1964). These include guaiacol, 2-methoxyphenol, and the allyl and propylene 2-methoxy phenols. 

Active zinc oxide is capable of forming chelate cements with a number of liquid organic chelates. These include the ) -diketones, ketoacids and ketoesters as well as the 2-methoxy phenols (Nielsen, 1963). 

Diaikanol aminoalkyl phenols as admixtures enhance the strength [675]. The additives are useful in very small amounts and do not affect the initial properties of the fluid. The strength additive does not cause set acceleration or early set strength enhancement but provides enhanced compressive strength of the cement in later stages. Addition of small amounts of potassium ferricyanide and nitrile-trimethyl phosphonic acid promotes the formation of complex compounds and thus increases the strength of cement rock [1771].

Thermosets A number of thermosets have been used as adhesives. Phenolic resins were used as adhesives by Leo Baekeland in the early 1900s. Phenolic resins are still used to bind together thin sheets of wood to make plywood. Urea resins have been used since 1930 as binders for wood chips in the manufacture of particle board. Unsaturated polyester resins are used for body repair and PUs are used to bond polyester cord to rubber in tires, and vinyl film to particle board, and to function as industrial sealants. Epoxy resins are used in the construction of automobiles and aircraft and as a component of plastic cement.

The soil-cement mixing wall (SMW) is an in situ technology for the fixation, stabilization, and solidification of soils contaminated with metals and semivolatile organic compounds. SMW can be used to treat soils contaminated with pesticides, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs), phenols, and poly aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) to depths of up to 100 ft. The technology uses hollow-stem augers to inject solidification/stabilization agents and blend them with the soil.
