Studies on fibre reinforced composites are now receiving greater attention. Industrial applications have been successful in areas like aerospace, automobile, marine, construction and sporting goods. The first generation of epoxy resins for use in carbon fibre composites are able to achieve optimized high stiffness modules and high heat resistance by a high crosslink density, reached through the...

In this study, for the first time cross-linking of linear aliphatic diamine-based main-chain polybenzoxazine (MCPBz) electrospun nanofibers were accomplished by two-step approach consisting of photo and thermal curing. Initially, two novel MCPBz resins which comprise of a benzophenone unit in the polymer main-chain were synthesized and uniform MCPBz nanofibers were produced by electrospinning. ...

Rosin has a comprehensive application in adhesives, printing inks, protective coatings, rubbers and pharmaceutical. In this work, novel dual UV/thermal curable epoxy rosinate was synthesized by esterification reaction between epoxy resin and purified rosin. This product was evaluated by FT-IR spectroscopy techniques and acid number. UV curable resin was formulated for UV curing ability by benzo...

There is difficult to imagine modern production of electrical devices without components containing organic substances. This fact is mainly concerned to composite materials, in which the bond component is made of organic substance. The intricate curing reactions have been proceeding during the composites technological curing as well as during the device operation, where mostly the thermal-oxida...

Exposing a laminate structure to thermal cycles and to temperatures close to the curing temperature, followed by mechanical fatigue, cause interlaminar and intralaminar cracks leading to degradation of the mechanical properties. The effect of thermal and mechanical fatigue, as well as thermal aging, on carbon fiber composite laminate structures is under study in the present paper.

This paper describes P–Truck Curing, a Case Based Reasoning system supporting the design of the curing phase for truck tyre production. The design of this process provides a trade–off between an optimal curing degree, to avoid imperfections in the final product, and the reduction of costs, related to thermal energy employed in the curing. Expert curing process designers store information about ...

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of the light curing method and resin composite composition on marginal sealing and resin composite adaptation to the cavity wall. Cylindrical cavities were prepared on the buccal or lingual cervical regions. The teeth were restored using Clearfil Liner Bond 2V adhesive system and filled with Clearfil Photo Bright or Palfique Estelite resin composite. The...

A prediction method for rubber curing process has historically received considerable attention in manufacturing process for rubber article with relatively large size. In recent years, there exists increasing demand for simulation driven design which will cut down the cost and time required for product development. In case of the rubber with relatively large dimensions, low thermal conductivity ...

New composites with improved thermal stability, mechanical and dielectric properties were developed, which consist of 2,2!-diallylbisphenol A (DBA)/4,4!-bismaleimidodiphenylmethane (BDM) resin and a new kind of organic/inorganic mesoporous silica (MPSA). Typical properties (curing behavior and mechanism, thermal stability, mechanical and dielectric properties) of the composites were systematica...

The purpose of this study is to compare the shear bond strength of different resin bases and artificial teeth made of ceramic or acrylic resin materials and whether tooth-base interface may be treated with aluminium oxide sandblasting. Experimental measurements were carried on 80 specimens consisting of a cylinder of acrylic resin into which a single tooth is inserted. An ad hoc metallic frame ...
