Development of High Strength, High Water Resistant, Low-Formaldehyde Emission Urea-Formaldehyde Adhesive and Its Effect on the Properties of Wood Composites

Using polyamide–epichlorohydrin resin (PAE) as a modifier and crosslinking agent, a high strength and high water resistance adhesive was prepared by low molar ratio Urea–formaldehyde (UF) resin for wood composite materials.

Relationships Between Mechanical Behavior and Structure/Properties for Macroscopically Homogeneous Porous Composites Containing Randomly Shaped Filler

The main contribution is the fitting for values of mechanical properties of the porous composite samples by an appropriate linear function containing displacement and slope as matrix property value and then suitable structural parameters multiplied by fitting parameters. The fitting parameters are appropriate for interpolation by matrix properties. Samples can contain different matrices but only one type of filler.

Lignin-Modified Epoxy Resin With Good Mechanical and Shape Memory Performance Fabricated by Synergistic Dispersion and Crosslinking With Polyetheramine

After being modified with the method of epoxidation, lignin molecules were homogeneously introduced into the epoxy resin with the aid of synergistic dispersion and crosslinking of polyetheramine without using organic solvents. It is the rigid lignin chemically crosslinked into the epoxy resin network that endowed the cured samples with good mechanical and thermal performance.

Effects of 6FAP on the Electrical Properties of Al2O3
/Epoxy Resin Composites

The incorporation of 6FAP into Al2O3/6FAP composite results in an increase of the deep trap density, which leads the carrier mobility. This phenomenon culminates in a reduction in the DC conductivity of the composite, while concurrently enhancing the DC breakdown strength and surface flashover voltage.
