UP resins have a long and continuing use as stone adhesive for the reasons stated early in its use (Hanpel, 1968) - the commercial products can be readily modified to suit the needs of stone workers, and can be further adjusted in the field. UP resins are similarly used as strong adhesives for coarse ceramics where the viscosity prevents penetration into the porous substrate (Buys and Oakley, 1996). 

Additional improvements have been incorporated since 1966 with the availabihty of thinner float glass. Glass thickness and interlayer thickness have been studied to optimize the product for occupant retention, occupant injury, and damage to the windshield from external sources (30,31). The thinner float glass windshields are more resistant to stone impacts than the early plate glass windshields. The majority of laminated windshields are made of two pieces of 2—2.5 mm aimealed glass and 0.76 mm of controlled adhesion interlayer. 

Pa.ints, Paints (qv) prepared from poly(vinyl acetate) and its copolymers form flexible, durable films with good adhesion to clean surfaces, including wood, plaster, concrete, stone, brick, cinder blocks, asbestos board, asphalt, tar paper, wahboards, aluminum, and galvani2ed iron (147). Adherence is also good on painted surfaces if the surfaces are free from dirt, grease, and mst. Developments in emulsion polymeri2ation for paint latices have been reviewed (148). 

Concrete is a particulate composite of stone and sand, held together by an adhesive. The adhesive is usually a cement paste (used also as an adhesive to join bricks or stones), but asphalt or even polymers can be used to give special concretes. In this chapter we examine three cement pastes the primitive pozzolana the widespread Portland cement and the newer, and somewhat discredited, high-alumina cement. And we consider the properties of the principal cement-based composite, concrete. The chemistry will be unfamiliar, but it is not difficult. The properties are exactly those expected of a ceramic containing a high density of flaws. 

A plugging material with 2-furaldehyde-acetone monomer and silicone oligomers has been described [1099]. The components for this material are shown in Table 18-1. The 2-furaldehyde-acetone monomer can contain mono-furfurylidene-acetone and difurfurylidene-acetone. The hardener can be iron chloride, benzene-sulfonic acid, hexamethylene diamine, or polyethylene polyamine. The plugging stone has improved strength, elastic-deformation, and anticorrosion and adhesion properties. 

Small amounts of pyridine bases increase the corrosion resistance of cement stone without any associated loss of strength [1016]. The use of nitrilo-trimethyl phosphonic acid and an adduct between hexamethylene tetramine and chlorinated propene or butene improves the adhesion to the metal, hardening times, mobility, and strength [ 1770]. The latter adducts are further claimed to be useful as additives in cementing oil and gas wells in salt-bearing strata [1768]. 

In the past, natural resins served as universal adhesives for fixing stone points and blades to hafts of wood or antler, to glue feathers to arrow shafts and for repairing materials such as broken pottery and bone combs. As sealants, resins were used to coat the surfaces of pottery and basketry in order to provide an impermeable lining. Resins were also used to waterproof hunting equipment and fishing nets, as well as canoes and ships from Noah s Ark (Genesis 6 14) to... 

Interest in the nature of interactions between shortchain organic surfactants and large molecular weight macromolecules and ions with hydroxyapatite extends to several fields. In the area of carles prevention and control, surfactant adsorption plays an important role in the Initial states of plaque formation (1-5) and in the adhesion of tooth restorative materials ( ). Interaction of hydroxyapatite with polypeptides in human urine is important in human biology as hydroxyapatite has been found as a major or minor component in a majority of kidney stones ( 7). Hydroxyapatite is used in column chromatography as a material for separating proteins (8-9). The flotation separation of apatite from... 

Solute or particulate accumulation onto an aggregated phase (or solid state) that grows together by the addition of material at the periphery. Both cohesive and adhesive forces are thought to be driving forces in accretion. Sea shells and kidney stones are also known to form as layers of crystallites and amorphous components by accretion of external substances. 

In this chapter, the very widespread industrial application of colloid chemistry will be described. Surprisingly enough, mankind has been aware of colloids for many thousands of years. The old Egyptian and Mayan civilizations, without cement, used their knowledge about adhesion (between blocks of stones) when building pyramids. 

Most latex-modified mortars and concretes have good adhesion to most substrates (tile, stone, brick, steel and aged concrete) compared to conventional mortar and concrete. In general, bond strength in tension and flexure increases with an increase in the polymer-cement ratio,... 

Asphalt—mbber is mixed and applied to roadways by several techniques. In one method, mbber and asphalt are mixed at ca 175—220°C for one to two hours. The hot mixture is applied to the roadway and covered with a layer of stone chips to form a chip seal. The mbber cmmb consists of scrap tires ground into particles less than 2 mm in diameter. Rubber-modified asphalt is also used for waterproofing membranes, crack-and-joint sealers, hot-mix binders, and roofing materials. The mbber improves asphalt ductility and increases its softening point. The aggregate adhesive bond is stronger, and the asphalt lasts longer. Production of rubber-modified asphalt has increased from 405 t in 1970 to 27,000 t in 1980 (41). Typically, about 2 t of mbber is used for 1 km of roadway. If it is assumed that asphalt—mbber contains ca 25% mbber and 75% asphalt, the potential demand for scrap mbber would be ca 40,500 t/yr, or ca 2% of the amount available. 

To interpret the significance of the presence of ochre, one must first attempt to discern if the use of the material was practical or symbolic. Practical uses of ochre include application as a preservative in curing hides, as an adhesive for hafting stone tools, and as medicine. Even practical objects can have symbolic... 

Uses Ziram is an odorless powder at room temperature. Ziram is grouped under class III and GUP by the USEPA. Ziram is slightly to moderately toxic. Ziram is used for the control of a variety of plant fungi and diseases that affect the foliage of plants, soil, and seeds. Ziram is used primarily on almonds and stone fruits. It also is used as an accelerator in rubber manufacturing, packaging materials, adhesives, and textiles. Ziram also is used as a bird and rodent repellent.121317 52... 

Sometimes primers can take the place of surface treatments. Two examples are with porous substrates and with certain plastic substrates. With weak porous substrates, such as wood, cement, or porous stone, the primer can be formulated to penetrate and bind weakly adhering material to provide a new, tightly anchored surface for the adhesive. Chlorinated polyolefin primers will increase the adhesion of coatings and adhesives to polypropylene and to thermoplastic olefins. The chlorine atoms in the outer surface of the primer increase surface energy and enhance adhesion of adhesives, sealants, and paints.
