The article is presenting a modification of bituminous binder with ecological epoxidized rapeseed oil (BERO) in the presence of the initiator (hardener). Adipic acid (AA), maleic anhydride (MA) and polyethylene polyamine (PEPA) were used as the initiators. The effect of modification temperature and, as well as initiator nature, on the bitumen properties was determined. Bitumen modified with BERO was evaluated by the following indicators: softening temperature, penetration, ductility, and adhesion to the glass. The optimal initiator : rapeseed oil epoxide (ERO) : bitumen ratio was found to be 0.15:3:100; it allows obtaining bitumen with improved properties, in particular, adhesive properties increase by 2‒3 times depending on the nature and content of the initiator. To improve the formula composite and evaluation of asphalt mixtures the additional researches will be conducted.

Coumarone-indene resins (CIR) have been obtained from a narrow coumarone-indene fraction by ionic cooligomerization. To improve the adhesion properties of CIR, nitrogen-containing functional groups have been additionally introduced into them at the stage of synthesis. The positive effect of carbazole on the degree of polymerization of styrene, coumarone and indene was noted. The products obtained (coumarone-indenecarbazole resins – CICR) have been used as modifiers for the road oil bitumen. The analysis of physical and technological indicators of the original and modified bitumen has been carried out in accordance with the standardized methods. The influence has been investigated of the temperature of separation of the unreacted part of the raw material from the CICR on its qualitative characteristics. It has been experimentally proved that the unreacted raw material is completely separated from the resin at a distillation temperature of about 150 °C. The experimental data obtained indicates that CIR, in comparison with CICR, due to its own high softening temperature, increases the same indicator of modified bitumen, however, this effect is achieved when the resin content in the bitumen is too high, namely ≥ 3.0-5.0 % by mass. At the same time, the addition of CIR to bitumen worsens it ductility and penetration. Adhesion is significantly improved, but again with the mass content of CIR in the mixture at the level of 3.0-5.0 % and more. The use of CICR as a modifier showed that this resin has practically no effect on the softening temperature and has a less negative effect on bitumen ductility and penetration, than CIR. At the same time, a positive effect has been observed in relation to the adhesion to glass - this indicator significantly increases even at a mass content of resin in bitumen at the level of 0.5-1.0 %. Thus, coumarone-indene-carbazole resins should be used as an adhesive additive that has a positive effect only on the adhesion of bitumen to a solid surface. In order to improve CIR adhesive properties, nitrogen-containing functional groups were additionally introduced into them at the synthesis stage. The resulting products (coumarone-indene-carbazole resins - CICR) were used as modifiers for road petroleum bitumen. The influence of the temperature of separation of raw materials unreacted part from CICR on its qualitative characteristics was investigated. It was established that the key effect of adding CICR to bitumen is the improvement of adhesive properties of the obtained bituminous-polymeric materials.

AbstractThe actual paper is related to adhesive properties of 3D objects printed on cotton textile fabrics. For practical applications of 3D prints in the textile sector, the adhesion of the printed object on the textile substrate is an important issue. In the current study, two different types of polymers are printed on cotton – polylactide acid (PLA) and polyamide 6.6 (Nylon). Altogether six cotton fabrics differing in structure, weight and thickness are evaluated. Also, the effect of washing and enzymatic desizing is investigated. For printing parameters, best results are gained for elevated process temperatures, intermediate printing speed and low Z-distance between printing head and substrate. Also, a textile treatment by washing and desizing can improve the adhesion of an afterwards applied 3D print. The presented results are quite useful for future developments of 3D printing applications on textile substrates, e.g. to implement new decorative features or protective functions.

Anti-shatter safety films (ASFs) are often used for structural glass applications. The goal is to improve the response of monolithic elements and prevent fragments from shattering. Thus, the main reason behind their use is the possibility to upgrade safety levels against the brittle failure of glass and minimize the number of possible injuries. However, the impact response of glass elements bonded with Polyethylene terephthalate (PET)-films and pressure sensitive adhesives (PSAs) still represents a research topic of open discussion. Major challenges derive from material characterization and asymmetrical variability under design loads and ageing. In particular, the measurement of interface mechanical characteristics for the adhesive layer in contact with glass is a primary parameter for the ASF choice optimization. For this reason, the present paper presents an experimental campaign aimed at calibrating some basic mechanical parameters that provide the characterization of constitutive models, such as tensile properties (yielding stress and Young modulus) for PET-film and adhesive properties for PSA (energy fracture and peel force). In doing so, both tensile tests for PET-films and peeling specimens are taken into account for a commercially available ASF, given that the peeling test protocol is one of most common methods for the definition of adhesion properties. Moreover, an extensive calibration of the Finite Element (FE) model is performed in order to conduct a parametric numerical analysis of ASF bonded glass solutions. Furthermore, a Kinloch approach typically used to determine the fracture energy of a given tape by considering a variable peel angle, is also adopted to compare the outcomes of calibration analyses and FE investigations on the tested specimens. Finally, a study of the effect of multiple aspects is also presented. The results of the experimental program and the following considerations confirm the rate dependence and ageing dependence in peel tests.

Introduction. The problem of purulent-inflammatory processes treatment and the prevention of sepsis remains one of the most pressing problems of surgery.Purpose of the study. Is to estimate the effectiveness of sorption composition with antimicrobial properties on the basis of nanodisperse silica on the adhesive properties of microorganisms and to substantiate the expediency of its use for the purulent and inflammatory processes treatment and prevention of sepsis.Materials and methods.To determine the antimicrobial activity and the influence of the antiseptics of decasan, myramistin, ethonium, chlorhexidine and the sorption on the microorganisms adhesion properties composition was used the method of diffusion in agar of the museum strains of microorganisms S. Aureus ATCC 25923, E. Coli ATCC 25922, R. Vulgaris 4636, R. Aureginosa ATCC 27853, S. AIbicans 855/653, SI. Perfringens 28, Peptostreptococcus anaerobicus 22, Bacteroides fragilis 13/83, and clinical strains of S. Aureus, R. Aeuroginosa, E. Coli. Adhesive properties of microorganisms were studied according to the Brillis method et al. (1986) with the subsequent statistical processing of the data.Results. Studies have shown that antiseptics have high antimicrobial activity and reduce the adhesion ability of microorganisms. But the use of only antiseptics or only antibiotics for the purification of purulent foci can lead to toxins absorption and tissue decay products from purulent foci. That processes could be the trigger mechanism for sepsis development. The sorption composition is able to reduce the adhesive activity of bacteria, allows to absorb toxic substances from pathological foci, what preventing their resorption and thereby prevent the development of sepsis.Conclusions. The composition made from sorbents and antiseptics is not inferior to antimicrobial activity to antiseptics, which can reduce the virulence of bacteria, by reducing their adhesive activity, and absorb toxins of microorganisms and tissue decomposition products on their surface, thus prevent their absorption, which will prevent the purulent-inflammatory process progression and sepsis development.Keywords: sorption composition, nanodisperse silica, antiseptics, adhesive properties of microorganisms, prevention of sepsis.

The influence of the concentration of finely dispersed aluminum and compatibilizer on the resistance to peeling of aluminum foil from the surface of a composite based on low density polyethylene and high density polyethylene is considered. To improve the compatibility of the filler with the polymer matrix, a compatibilizer was used, which is a graft copolymer of polyethylene of various grades with methacrylic acid and maleic anhydride. Copper and aluminum foil was used as a substrate. It is shown that the introduction of a compatibilizer into the composition of aluminum-filled composites improves their peeling resistance. It has been found that if an aluminum filled compatibilizer is used directly as an adhesive, then the peeling resistance of copper and aluminum foil is significantly increased. Graft copolymers of polyethylene with maleic anhydride have the highest peel resistance values. The results of the study of the influence of the pressing temperature on the type of adhesive failure are presented. It is shown that with an increase in the pressing temperature, a mixed type of adhesive destruction is observed. It has been experimentally proved that, in percentage terms, the cohesive type of fracture prevails in composites where graft copolymers are used as a polymer matrix. It was found that a 100 % cohesive type of fracture is observed in foil-clad composites pressed at a temperature of 190 °C, where a graft copolymer of polyethylene with methacrylic acid or maleic anhydride is used as an adhesive.

AbstractAdhesion between swollen hydrogels was studied using a simple tack-evaluation technique by a point contact in air at room temperature. The hydrogel used here was poly(sodium acrylate) (PSA) gel physically cross-linked by aluminum ions. The adhesion force and the separation energy showed a power-law increase with separation velocity, normal force, and waiting period prior to separate. Effects of the degrees of protonation in PSA as well as of dehydration on the adhesive properties are also presented. The results are discussed in terms of the surface molecular interaction and the bulk elastic and viscous properties.

In this paper INESCOP proposes the improvement of the bonding of footwear soling materials using the low-pressure plasma surface treatment as a non-polluting and resource-efficient technology by means of adhesive bonds, with a reactive hot melt polyurethane adhesive, as a more sustainable alternative to current chemical surface treatments such as halogenation. More precisely, low-pressure plasma is capable of cleaning and removing all impurities, such as oxides, oils and fats on material surface. Then, it is activated by producing new chemicals species on the top layer of the substrate. Thus, the materials’ surface acquires new surface functionalities, improving the compatibility adhesive-substrate and, therefore their adhesion properties. Furthermore, in this work the surface modifications produced in these materials of different polymeric nature have been optimised to increase their roughness, wettability, adhesive properties, etc., and have been validated through various experimental characterisation techniques. As a result, the samples treated with plasma meet the adhesion requirements for footwear materials. As a result, low-pressure plasma treatment has desmonstrated to be a green, alternative, and sustainable technology in line with European policies on circular economy, which enhances material surface properties by improving the adhesion bonding process.
