Epoxy resin will continue to be in the forefront of many thermoset applications due its versatile properties. However, with advancement manufacturing, changing societal outlook for chemical industries and emerging technologies that disrupt conventional approaches fabrication, there is a need multifunctional epoxy able adapt newer robust requirements. resins behave both like thermoplastic better properties are now norm research development. In this paper, we viewed multifunctionality terms...
The high-volume manufacture of fiber-reinforced composites faces a huge challenge because long resin curing times put low ceiling on the total output parts produced per year. To translate benefits from using epoxy in large-volume production platforms, cure cycle less than 1 min must be achieved. In this work, we report solvate ionic liquids (SILs) as simple and efficient rapid catalytic additives systems. Ultrafast was observed at levels 1–5% SIL resin, rate is enhanced up to 26-fold without...
The radical-bearing epoxy monomer could be the ideal embodiment of multifunctionality in epoxy-based materials. This study demonstrates potential macroradical epoxies as surface coating A diepoxide derivatized with a stable nitroxide radical is polymerized diamine hardener under influence magnetic field. magnetically oriented and radicals polymer backbone render coatings antimicrobial. unconventional use magnets during polymerization proved crucial correlating structure-property...
Improving the electrical performance of macroradical epoxy thermosets to surpass semiconductor threshold requires a comprehensive understanding charge transport mechanisms and characteristics. In this study, we investigate properties non-conjugated radical thermoset in rigid, three-dimensional (3D) motif cured under an external magnetic field. The outcomes four-angle analysis synchrotron IRM beamline provide for first time quantitative insights into molecular orientation at atomic-scale...
Abstract A novel fire-retardant epoxy thermoset, containing boron polyol complex, was prepared and characterised. The additive a stoichiometric mixture of boric acid glycerol. Flame retardancy the resin improved by formation stable char layer that protected underlying from further burning. Phonon transport through polymer matrix via hydrogen bonding identified. acted as thermal bridge for intermolecular phonon to gain conductivity resulting early formation. between complex demonstrated using...
The power of computational modeling and simulation for establishing clear links between materials’ intrinsic properties their atomic structure has more increased the demand reliable reproducible protocols. Despite this demand, no one approach can provide outcomes to predict novel materials, particularly rapidly cured epoxy-resins with additives. This study introduces first protocol crosslinking epoxy resin thermosets based on solvate ionic liquid (SIL). combines several approaches, including...
