Addition of Silica to Polyurethane Adhesives

The influence of the addition of silica (Aerosil-200) (5-25 wt%) to polyurethane adhesives on their adhesion properties with non-chlorinated and surface-chlorinated rubbers has been studied. The chlorinating agent was Trichloroisocyanuric acid (TIC) in 2-butanone solution at a concentration of between 1 and 9 wt%. In general, silica produced an increase in the adhesive viscosity and an improvement of green (immediate) peel strength (especially with chlorinated rubber). The best results were obtained for a silica content of 10-20 wt%. However, the addition of silica did not improve the peel strength after a thermal ageing process. Polyurethane adhesives containing silica undergo an improvement in their resistance to degradation by chlorine on the rubber surface. On the other hand, the chlorination of silica produces the rupture of Si-O bonds and the formation of Si-H and Si-Cl groups. Furthermore, the stirring speed (directly related to the dispersion) of silica into the adhesive is an important parameter which affects the viscosity and peel strength. A stirring speed of 1000 rpm gives the best silica dispersion.     

Hydrophobic or Hydrophilic Fumed Silica as Filler of Polyurethane Adhesives

Two hydrophilic and two hydrophobic fumed silicas of different characteristics were added to solvent-based polyurethane adhesives (PU). IR spectroscopy, contact angle measurements and rheology (viscosity measurements, determination of viscoelastic properties) were used to monitor the variation of properties of PU adhesives produced by addition of silica. Immediate (green) adhesion was determined by T-peel testing of halogenated synthetic rubber/PU adhesive/halogenated synthetic rubber joints. Silica addition produced a noticeable increase in the PU adhesive viscosity which can be related to the variation of viscoelastic properties. Viscosity of PU adhesives containing hydrophilic silica slightly increased with time after preparation; the increase was less significant in PU adhesives with hydrophilic silica. In the rheological studies, silica imparted shear thinning and negative thixotropy to PU adhesives due to a better dispersion of the silica in the polyurethane during shearing. The addition of silica produces an increase in the storage modulus (G') of PU adhesives, the values obtained being independent of the hydrophilic or hydrophobic nature of the fumed silica. The increase of G' and the changes in tan δ of PU adhesives containing silica corresponded to an improvement in the green adhesion properties of chlorinated rubber/PU adhesive/chlorinated rubber joints. In general, in disagreement with previous results,¹ the presence of silica did affect the properties of solvent-based PU adhesives, but these properties were not dependent on the type of silica (hydrophobic or hydrophilic) used in this study.     

Comparison of the Properties of Polyurethane Adhesives Containing Fumed Silica or Sepiolite as Filler

Fumed silica is a well-known mineral filler of epoxy and polyurethane adhesives. Although effective, the small particle size and the relative high cost of fumed silicas suggest the need for an alternative filler. In this study, the usefulness of adding a natural hydrated magnesium silicate (sepiolite) as a new filler in solvent-based polyurethane (PU) adhesive formulations has been demonstrated. The rheological and adhesion performance of the sepiolite-filled PU adhesive was compared with that in PU adhesives containing fumed silicas. The addition of a filler to PU adhesives provided an increase in viscosity, imparted thixotropy and pseudoplasticity to the adhesive solution, produced an increase in storage and loss moduli, and improved the rheology of the PU. The mechanical properties of adhesive films were increased by adding filler, mainly with fumed silica. On the other hand, the immediate T-peel strength of roughened or (roughened + chlorinated) styrene-butadiene rubber/PU adhesive joints was greatly improved in filled PU adhesives. The effects produced by adding sepiolite or fumed silica to the adhesives were very similar, although in general more noticeable in fumed silica filled PU due to the formation of hydrogen bonds between the filler and the solvent and/or the polyurethane (in sepiolite-filled adhesives, van der Waals forces seemed to be responsible for the interactions between the filler and the solvent and/or polyurethane).

Study of Properties of One-Component Moisture-Curable Polyurethane and Silane Modified Polyurethane Adhesives

Abstract

In this paper, the curing behavior and adhesion properties of five kinds of polyurethane (PU) and silane modified polyurethane (SPU) adhesives were studied. Fourier transform infrared spectra showed that the adhesive Sikaflex-555 had an SPU structure and that the other four adhesives were one-component polyurethanes. The experimental results of curing behavior show that the tack-free times and curing rates of these adhesives were significantly affected by the relative humidity and the temperature. The adhesion of the SPU adhesive to glass sheet, zinc galvanized steel sheet and steel sheet was much better than that of PU adhesives. The tack-free times and curing rates of all the adhesives was measured during the 12 months of storage.

Chemical Functionalization and Dispersion of Carbon Nanofibers in Waterborne Polyurethane Adhesives

Waterborne polyurethane adhesives (WBPU) reinforced with carbon nanofibers (CNFs), to make them also conductive to static electricity, were prepared and their properties were evaluated as a function of content (0.1–1 wt%). The incorporation of carbon nanofibers to waterborne polyurethane adhesives implies a great difficulty because of their tendency to form aggregates, which prevents an efficient dispersion. In this sense, it is necessary to insert functional groups on the surface of the nanofibers to improve their interaction with any polymer. In this research, the surfaces of carbon nanofibers were previously oxygenated by chemical functionalization to enhance their stability in waterborne polyurethane adhesives. The obtained results showed that the chemical treatment used to functionalize the carbon nanofillers was adequate, as well as the experimental procedure carried out for their incorporation into the polyurethane, since stable dispersions were obtained. Moreover, the addition of the nanofibers to the waterborne polyurethanes contributed to improving their rheological and viscoelastic properties, imparting an increase in the viscosity and changes in the crystallisation kinetics.

Polyester Polyol-Based Polyurethane Adhesive; Effect of Treatment on Rubber Surface

Polyester polyols were synthesized using vegetable oil fatty acids having different characteristics (mainly in terms of hydroxyl functionality) and epoxy resin, using triethylamine as a catalyst. Polyols were characterized by the FTIR spectroscopy. Polyurethane adhesives were synthesized from it and used in bonding rubber. Treatment of sulphuric acid on the non-polar styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) surface was studied for the bond strength improvement via an increase in wettability of the rubber surface. Wettability was found by measuring the contact angle using Goniometer. Bond strength was evaluated by a 180° T-peel test. The surface modification and mode of bond failure were studied by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM). The synthesized polyurethane adhesives were compared with the commercial adhesive.     

MEK wiping prior to chlorination to improve the adhesion of vulcanized SBR rubber containing paraffin wax

In this study, it was shown that the degree of effectiveness produced by halogenation with trichloroisocyanuric acid (TCI) was influenced by previous methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) wiping of a synthetic vulcanized styrene-butadiene rubber (R2) surface. The MEK wiping of the R2 rubber surface prior to chlorination with TCI removed the paraffin wax layer from the surface, which favoured the chlorination and oxidation reactions of the rubber. Chlorination with TCI decreased the contact angle values (increased the wettability) mainly due to the creation of C–Cl and C=O moieties, as well as roughness. The amount of these chemical moieties increased when the MEK wiping was applied prior to chlorination, so higher degrees of chlorination and oxidation were obtained on the R2 rubber surface. T-peel strength values increased more markedly if the MEK wiping was carried out before chlorination with TCI, in agreement with the higher degree of modifications produced in the R2 rubber surface. In fact, a cohesive failure in the R2 rubber was obtained in the adhesive joint produced with MEK wiped + TCI chlorinated R2 rubber.     

Studies on adhesion of polyethylene. Part I. Influence of functionality and phase transfer catalyst

Low-density polyethylene (LDPE) has been oxidized using phase transferred permanganate as an oxidant. The resulting surface modifications have been characterized by different methods and the consequent adhesion promotion has been characterized in terms of contact angle and peel strength measurements. From contact angle measurements using water and formamide liquid drops, reversible work of adhesion, and thence γ^p _s and γ-^d _s, the contributions of polar and dispersion components, respectively, have been calculated. The polar contributions increased in each oxidized LDPE relative to untreated LDPE and the surface energies also increased appreciably. The adhesion strengths between aluminium and untreated LDPE, as well as those between aluminium and oxidized LDPEs, have been examined by peel strength measurements. We found that the adhesion strength increased about 8-28 times in the case of oxidized LDPEs. Maximum strength was observed when benzyl triphenyl phosphonium permanganate was the oxidant. Both the peel force and the thermodynamic work of adhesion increase sharply with an increase in the carboxyl content, the total number of oxo groups, and the combined CO and COOH content. The dependence of these quantities on carbonyl content is either weak or even follows a reverse trend. It is proposed that the adhesion proceeds primarily through hydrogen bonds involving carboxyl group and/or coordinative bond formation between aluminium and epoxy and/or hydroperoxo groups.     

The Mechanisms of Peeling of Uncross-Linked Pressure Sensitive Adhesives

We analyze the peeling properties of an uncross-linked pressure sensitive adhesive. 90° peeling master curves on Pyrex^TM and PMMA (polymethylmetacrylate) are constructed The shift coefficients a_T are compared with the ones obtained from rheometrical shear tests.

With our machine, the peeling front is kept fixed, enabling us to observe the mechanisms of deformation of the adhesive. We count four different mechanisms of peeling in cohesive failure, and three in interfacial peeling (the last being unstable); they correspond to various slopes that we identify. The flow patterns at slow reduced velocities are two-dimensional. Then they undergo transitions to three-dimensional periodic complex flows, due to instabilities in the flow of thin adhesives. Interpretation of these peeling master curves are discussed in terms of rheology and physico-chemistry. It appears necessary to take into account the elongational properties of the adhesive, as well as the surface energy properties, to predict adhesion.

Influence of the Chemical Structure of Urethane-Based Thickeners on the Properties of Waterborne Polyurethane Adhesives

To analyse the parameters that influence the thickening mechanism of waterborne polyurethane adhesives, different hydrophobically modified ethoxylated polyurethane based thickeners (HEUR) were used. The thickeners were characterized by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR) and gel permeation chromatography (GPC). The thickened adhesive solutions were characterized by flow rheology, pH, particle size measurements, solids content, and confocal microscopy. The thickened solid adhesive films were characterized by ATR-IR spectroscopy, parallel plate rheology, dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The adhesion was measured by a T-peel test of leather/polyurethane adhesive/SBR rubber joints. The addition of the different HEUR thickeners increased the viscosity of the polyurethane dispersion to different degrees. Furthermore, whereas the un-thickened polyurethane dispersion showed a Newtonian rheological behaviour, a shear-thinning rheological behaviour was observed in the thickened dispersions due to thickener-thickener and polyurethane-thickener interactions. The viscosity of the thickened polyurethane adhesive solutions increased with the degree of hydrophobicity and the molecular weight of the thickener. The addition of different thickeners increased the pH values due to the ionic adsorption, which is one of the interactions that contribute to the thickening mechanism of the polyurethane thickeners, besides hydrogen bonding and van der Waals hydrophobic interactions (micelles). The entanglement of the thickened polyurethane adhesives was studied by confocal microscopy. Although the addition of the thickeners did not affect the thermal properties of the polyurethanes, the T-peel strength of leather/adhesive/SBR rubber joints was influenced by the rheological properties of the thickened adhesives.     

UV treatment of synthetic styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber

The effectiveness of the treatment with ultraviolet light (UV) on several polymeric surfaces has previously been established. In this study, a low pressure mercury vapour lamp was used as a source of UV radiation for the surface treatment of a difficult-to-bond block styrenebutadiene-styrene rubber (S6), the treatment time ranging from 10 s to 30 min. The UV-treated S6 rubber surfaces were characterized by contact angle measurements (ethylene glycol, 25°C), ATR-IR spectroscopy, XPS, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). T-peel tests on UV-treated S6 rubber/polyurethane (PU) adhesive/ leather joints (before and after ageing) were carried out to quantify adhesion strengths. The UV treatment of S6 rubber produced improved wettability, the formation of C—O, C=O and COO^- moieties, and ablation (removal of a thin rubber layer from the surface). The extent of these modifications increased with increasing treatment time. The extended UV treatment produced greater surface modifications, as well as the incorporation of nitrogen moieties at the surface. Furthermore, noticeable ablation of S6 rubber surface occurred. Peel strength values increased with increased treatment time of UV treatment of S6 rubber. Also, with increasing treatment time, the adhesive joints showed different loci of failure: adhesional failure for the as-received and 2 min-UV treated S6 rubber/polyurethane adhesive/leather joints changed to mixed failure (cohesive in the treated S6 rubber + adhesional failure) for the 30 min-UV treated S6 rubber/polyurethane adhesive/leather joint.
