Synthetic polymers began replacing other chemical binders for soil stabilization in agriculture in the late 20th century. [1] Compared to traditional chemical binders, polymer soil additives can achieve the same amount of strengthening at much lower concentrations – for example, mixtures of 0.5-1% of various biopolymers have strength levels that match or exceed those of 10% cement mixtures ...
Epoxy is the family of basic components or cured end products of epoxy resins. Epoxy resins, also known as polyepoxides, are a class of reactive prepolymers and polymers which contain epoxide groups. The epoxide functional group is also collectively called epoxy. [1] The IUPAC name for an epoxide group is an oxirane.
4,4'-Diaminodicyclohexylmethane is the name for organic compounds with the formula CH 2 (C 6 H 10 NH 2) 2.It is classified as a diamine.In the epoxy industry it is often referred to as PACM, short for para-diaminodicyclohexylmethane.
As an Epoxy modifier it is classed as an epoxy reactive diluent. [8] It is also used to synthesize other molecules. [9] The use of the diluent does effect mechanical properties and microstructure of epoxy resins. [10] [11] It has been used to simultaneously increase cryogenic strength, ductility and impact resistance of epoxy resins. [12]
Crazing in polymers This is a cartoon representation of failure mechanisms in epoxy resins. The numbers correspond to the following. "(1) shear band formation, (2) fracture of rubber particles, (3) stretching, (4) debonding and (5) tearing of rubber particles, (6) transparticle fracture, (7) debonding of hard particles, (8) crack deflection by hard particles, (9) cavitated rubber particles ...
Real soils are composed of finite size particles with anisotropic properties that strongly determine observed behavior. Consequently, models based on a metals based theory of plasticity are not able to model behavior of soils that is a result of anisotropic particle properties, one example of which is the drop in shear strengths post peak ...
The left component is Epoxy Base Resin and the right one is Epoxy Hardener. Both are to be mixed thoroughly in equal quantity to get epoxy putty. Epoxy putty refers to a group of room-temperature-hardening substances used as space-filling adhesives. Exact compositions vary according to manufacturer and application.
The resin and hardener part together is known as the "Binder". As the name indicates, in Fusion bonded epoxy coatings the resin part is an "epoxy" type resin. “Epoxy” or “Oxirane” structure contains a three membered cyclic ring — one oxygen atom connected to two carbon atoms – in the resin molecule. This part is the most reactive ...
