Latent curing systems stabilized by reaction equilibrium in homogeneous mixtures of benzoxazine and amine

چکیده
Latent curing systems are widely used in industrial thermosets in applications such as adhesion, coating, and composites. Despite many attempts to improve the practicality of this dormant reaction system, the majority of commercially available latent products still use particulate hardeners or liquid compounds with blocked active groups. These formulations generally lack fluidity or rapid reaction characteristics and thus are problematic in some industry applications. Here we describe a novel concept that stabilizes highly reactive benzoxazine/amine mixtures by reaction equilibrium. These new latent benzoxazine curing systems have a long storable lifetime but very short gel time at 150 °C. The reversible reaction between benzoxazine and amine is further demonstrated by FT-IR spectral measurements and rheological experiments, and it is shown that the overall characteristics of the latent system are promising for many industrial applications.

Epoxy Coatings Physically Cured with Hydroxyl-contained Silica Nanospheres and Halloysite nanotubes
Epoxy coatings are usually reinforced by the use of nanofillers, but reactive nanofillers having physical tendency towards epoxide ring opening are preferable. In this work, nanosilica (SiO2) and halloysite nanotubes (HNTs) known for their hydroxyl-contained surface are used and their effects on the curing behavior of an epoxy/amine coating is compared. The spherical and tubular nano...

Improvement and stabilization of soils are widely used to improve the physical and mechanical properties of sandy soils. Despite the abundance of researchers that have been conducted on this topic to date, most of them have focused on dry soil. The effects of the existing water in the soil and different curing durations (curing environment) have not been investigated. In this study, different p...
متن کاملEffect of Complexation Reaction Constant on the Separation of Propylene/Propane by Supported Liquid Membrane
Traditional systems for olefin/paraffin separation, like low-temperature distillation, are expensive and very energy consuming, and therefore, alternative separation methods are desired. Facilitated transport membranes are new tools for this separation to be substituted in large scale separation of olefin-paraffin mixtures. To design a membrane process for olefin-paraffin separation, equilibriu...

In this study, unconfined compression tests have been conducted to investigate the impacts of copper slag on mechanical characteristics for stabilized cement and un-stabilized soil. Dozens of specimens were prepared at four percentages of cement (i.e. 0%, 2%, 4% and 6%) and five percentages of copper slag (i.e. 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%) by weight of dry soil. The samples compacted into a cylind...

Abstract: The use of mixed amine system in gas treating processes is increasing today. For natural gas sweetening purposes, mixed amines are typically mixtures of MDEA and DEA or MEA that enhance CO2 removal while retaining desirable characteristics of MDEA such as reduced corrosion problems and low heats of reaction. In this work, a process simulator was used to predict the performance of an I...
