Polymers coupling agents

Figure 1. Schematic diagram of the polymer-coupling agent-metal oxide region.

Figure 3. Effect of EME 58 (58 wt% mercaptoester units co-polymer) coupling agent concentration on the peel strength of flexible epoxy (amine-cured)/AD = acetone-degreased steel test panels following (a) I day and (b) 3 day exposure to 57°C condensing humidity. See Appendix 4 for epoxy resin and cure description.

Figure 6. Influence of EME co-polymer coupling agent mercaptoester unit concentation on (a) the dry peel strength and (b) the time in 57 C water until the presence of visible corrosion products was observed for epoxy/steel peel test panels. From ref. 6.

Figure 8. Shear strength durability in a 57°C water immersion of epoxy/steel torsional joints with and without EME 90 (90 wt% mercaptoester unit co-polymer) coupling agent pretreatment. From ref. 6. Adhesive diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A (Epon 828) cured with a stoichiometric amount of methylene dianiline for I h at 120°C followed by 2 h at 150°C.

The factors controlling the mechanical behavior of polymer-coupling agent-metal oxide systems have been discussed in terms of the weakest link in a chain concept. Determination of the locus of failure and thus the weak link is not usually reliable by visual inspection, and surface roughness can cause misleading spectroscopic results if failure is near an interface.

In the first, the reactivity of the filler surface to well defined probe molecules is observed. Of these, FMC is perhaps the more powerful, giving the ability to measure heat of adsorption directly and using the polymers, coupling agents or additives of interest. IGC is more instrumentally developed, but generally requires the use of model probes because of the need for them to be volatile and reversibly adsorbed.

For PE-HD/MDH/PE-g-MA composites, the degradation processes of these composites also confirm two steps. Addition of PE-g-MA enhanced the thermal stability only of PE-HD/MDH 1/PE-g-MA composites, shifting the TGA curves to higher temperature. The first step of MDHl decomposition all delayed in these PE-HD/MDHl/ PE-g-MA composites. At the same time, there is the thermal stability improvement at second step in the presence of polymer coupling agent. Therefore, the presence of PE-g-MA in PE-HD/MDH 1/PE-g-MA composites exhibited higher degradation temperatures than that of PE-HD/MDHl composites.
