Unmodified epoxy resin GY250 was crosslinked by the cycloaliphatic polyamino hardener HY847 and polyamidamine hardener HY848 in the different mass ratios. The degree of crosslinking of the epoxy resin and the quantity of unreacted epoxy groups were determined by a spectroscopic FTIR method. The optimal time of complete crosslinking, as a criterion of the degree, was determined by measuring the film hardness indirectly (JUS H.C8.055). The optimal stoichiometric ratio of 100:18:32 (GY250:HY847:HY848) was defined by correlating parameters which directly depend on the degree of crosslinking and the period of application of the epoxy resins, as a prerequisite for forming 2-component epoxy systems which are comparatively more elastic adhesive and waterproof.

The tensile fracture mechanics and thermo-mechanical properties of mixtures composed of two kinds of epoxy resins of different chemical structures and functional groups were studied. The base resin was a bi-functional epoxy resin based on diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) and the other resins were (a) distilled triglycidylether of meta-amino phenol (b) 1, 6–naphthalene di epoxy and (c) fluorene di epoxy. This research shows that a small number of multifunctional epoxy systems, both di- and tri-functional, can significantly increase tensile strength (14%) over neat DGEBA while having no negative impact on other mechanical properties including glass transition temperature and elastic modulus. In fact, when compared to unmodified DGEBA, the tri-functional epoxy shows a slight increase (5%) in glass transition temperature at 10 wt.% concentration. The enhanced crosslinking of DGEBA (90 wt.%)/distilled triglycidylether of meta-amino phenol (10 wt.%) blends may be the possible reason for the improved glass transition. Finally, the influence of strain rate, temperature and moisture were investigated for both the neat DGEBA and the best performing modified system. The neat DGEBA was steadily outperformed by its modified counterpart in every condition.

We synthesized PPG-terminated tetra-carbamates as a new toughening additive for epoxy thermosets through facile addition reaction of hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI) with poly(tetra-methylene glycols) (PTMG) and poly(propylene glycols) (PPG). The effects of prepared tetra-carbamates on the rheological behavior of neat epoxy resin were studied along with the various cured properties of their modified epoxy systems. Four carbamate groups (–NHCOO–) endow the prepared additives not only with good intramolecular interactions, but also with optimal intermolecular interactions with epoxy polymers. This results in the suitable miscibility of the additives with the epoxy matrix for the formation of the typical biphasic structure of microparticles dispersed in the epoxy matrix via polymerization-induced microphase separation. The impact strength and critical stress concentration factor (KIC) of cured modified epoxy systems with the additives are significantly higher than those of unmodified epoxy systems, without sacrificing the processability (Tg) and flexural strength. The toughening mechanism is understood as a synergism combination among the phase separation mechanism, the in situ homogeneous toughening mechanism, and the particle cavitation mechanism.

In this study, corrosion-resistant composite coatings were produced by incorporating zinc (Zn) nanoparticles in an epoxy resin and a hybrid silicone resin. While performing sodium chloride saltspray tests, the corrosion performance of the nano-composite coatings was evaluated by applying these corrosion-resistant composite coatings on a carbon steel substrate. The nano-composite coatings on the substrates were characterized by an adhesion test, scanning electron microscope (SEM), and transmission electron microscope (TEM) with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). The results of the salt-spray tests showed that the Zn nanoparticles in the epoxy and hybrid silicone resins could react with permeated oxygen, thereby improving the anticorrosion properties of the Zn nano-composites. The corroded area of the epoxy resin samples decreased from more than 80% without Zn doping to less than 5% in a 3000-ppm Zn-doped sample after a 500-h saltspray test. An evaluation of the bactericidal properties showed that the Zn/epoxy and Zn/hybrid silicone resin nano-composites with at least 360 ppm of Zn nanoparticles exhibited bactericidal ability, which remarkably increased with the Zn nanoparticles content. The corrosion-resistant properties improved with the addition of Zn nano-composites coatings.

Introduction: Modified epoxy suitable for ultraviolet (UV) curing is prepared by using organic silicon toughening. The curing kinetics of the composite are studied by dielectric analysis (DEA), and the two-phase compatibility of the composite is studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Methods: The tensile properties, heat resistance, and humidity resistance of the cured product are explored by changing the composition ratio of the silicone and the epoxy resin. Results: SEM of silicone/epoxy resin shows that the degree of cross-linking of the composites decreases with an increase of silicone resin content. Differential thermal analysis indicates that the glass transition temperature and the thermal stability of the composites decrease gradually with an increase of silicone resin content. The thermal degradation rate in the high temperature region, however, first decreases and then increases. In general, after adding just 10%–15% of the silicone resin and exposing to light for 15 min, the composite can still achieve a better curing effect. Conclusions: Under such conditions, the heat resistance of the cured product decreases a little. The tensile strength is kept constant so that elongation at breakage is apparently improved. The change rate after immersion in distilled water at 60°C for seven days is small, which shows excellent humidity resistance.

Thiirane is usually synthesized by epoxy resin, and there are considerable content of epoxy mixed in thiirane because of the poor yields. In this article, a novel separation method was used to get pure episulfide compound and epoxy compound from thiirane/epoxy resin synthesized in our lab. Furthermore, the perfect 1H NMR spectra of pure episulfide compound and epoxide compound were obtained. The quantitative analysis of content of epoxy groups in thiirane/epoxy resin was performed by using FTIR and was testified by 1H NMR. It was found that the analytical results of the conversion of epoxy groups by the two methods above coincided with each other well.
