Performance of Lead-free Rubber to Metal Bonding Agents Applied by Electrostatic Spraying

An Enhanced Corrosion Protection Mechanism for Rubber-to-Metal Bonding

Composite rebonding to stainless steel metal using different bonding agents.

The purpose of this study was to determine the in vitro bond strengths of composite rebonded to stainless steel crown metal (SS) using five different bonding agents after composite to SS bond failure had been produced. The adhesive systems were applied to the failed bonds following the manufacturers' instructions and, as a control, composite was bonded to SS without using a bonding agent. Each ...

Metal–ligand bonding in metallocenes: Differentiation between spin state, electrostatic and covalent bonding

We have analyzed metal–ligand bonding in metallocenes using density functional theory (DFT) at the OPBE/TZP level. This level of theory was recently shown to be the only DFT method able to correctly predict the spin ground state of iron complexes, and similar accuracy for spin ground states is found here. We considered metallocenes along the first-row transition metals (Sc–Zn) extended with alk...

Type Bonding Strength Modeling of Polyurethane to Vulcanized Rubber

Tires manufactured from polyurethane (PU) have been espoused recently for reduced hysteretic loss, but the material provides poor traction or poor wear resistance in the application, requiring inclusion of a traditional vulcanized rubber tread at the contact surface. The tread can be attached by adhesive methods after the PU body is cured, or the PU can be directly cured to reception sites on t...

The study of seismic resistance of rubber-metal supports

This research reveals the efficiency of seismic isolation system in the form of rubber-metal supports with different height buildings at multi component seismic impact. As an example, seismically insulated monolithic reinforced concrete 5, 9 and 16 story buildings are considered. The solution of the problem is obtained by a direct integration of the motion equations for an explicit scheme in fi...
