An alternative to the classical acid-base regeneration of chelating resins loaded with heavy metals is investigated. The new process consists in recovering the heavy metals with recyclable soluble complexing agents. The semiclosed reactor includes a fixed ...
During cure of epoxy resins, polymerization induces an increase in mechanical properties, which is accompanied by a volumetric shrinkage. When the resin is cured in a constrained mold to which it adheres, tensile stresses will hence develop, which may exce ...
Solid epoxy resins are produced by catalyzed reactions of a low-mol.-wt. liq. resin (RBL) with bisphenol A (BPA). These reactions lead to solid epoxy resins that have many uses. The chain lengthening step (advancement reaction) is based on the reaction of ...
Incorporation of nanoparticles into photostructurable polymer materials enables the engineering of novel, highly integrated micro/nanosystems (MEMS/NEMS) with enhanced intrinsic functional properties. For instance, nanoparticles with (semi)conducting, opti ...
The relative sequence of shrinkage and evolution of modulus of a thermoset resin during cure leads to the build-up of internal stresses, especially if the resin is constrained by the presence of other materials in the form of a substrate or reinforcing fib ...
Microstereolithography is a technique that allows the manufacture of small and complex three-dimensional (3D) components in plastic material. Many of the components produced by this technique are too small and too complex to be replicated by molding and, c ...
In this paper, a new microstereolithography apparatus is described. It is an integral process in which a complete layer can be made in one exposure only, in contrast to vector-by-vector processes which are based on the vectorial tracing of each layer. As f ...
Solid epoxy resins are produced at Vantico SA by catalyzed reactions of a low-mol. wt. liq. resin (RBL) with bisphenol A (BPA). These reactions lead to solid epoxy resins, which are used in surface coatings or adhesives. The chain lengthening step (advance ...
Equilibrium phase diagrams in composition-conversion space have been calculated for stoichiometric blends of an epoxy resin with a diamine hardener and dendritic hyperbranched polymers, to which various numbers of epoxy groups have been grafted. An attempt ...
