Photo-polymerized epoxy primer for adhesion improvement at thermoplastics/metallic wires interfaces

We report results on the development of an innovative fast-curing coupling method using a UV-curable epoxy primer based on a cycloaliphatic di-epoxide resin to bond metallic wires and a thermoplastic polyurethane matrix. The curing kinetics of the primer a ...

UV-intensity, temperature and dark-curing effects in cationic photo-polymerization of a cycloaliphatic epoxy resin

Véronique Michaud, Yves Leterrier, Basile Golaz

A difunctional cycloaliphatic epoxy monomer was cationically photo-polymerized in the presence of a diaryliodonium salt photoinitiator and an isopropyl thioxanthone photosensitizer at different temperatures and UV intensities. The photo-polymerization kine ...

Adhesion of thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer to galvanized steel

Véronique Michaud, Basile Golaz

When a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer (TPU) is co-molded with galvanized steel, the subsequent adhesion and its durability are very sensitive to the chemical bonds created at the interface. Silane coupling primers are known for enhancing adhesion bet ...
