Enhancing the adhesive bonding strength of NiTi shape memory alloys by laser gas nitriding and selective etching

Laser gas nitriding process (LGN) was applied on NiTi shape memory alloy to obtain an alloyed surface consisting of TiN dendrites in NiTi matrix. By applying subsequent selective etching process, the matrix material in the alloyed layer can be selectively removed and a three-dimensional network of TiN dendrites is left on the surface protruding from the metal substrate. The 3D dendritic network provides extra surface area and locking mechanism for the adhesion joint. The microstructures of such textured surface were examined. The adhesion jointing characteristics of the surfaces were studied. A 150% increase in the lap-joint strength was achieved in the laser gas nitrided and etched specimen as compared with the sandblasted and etched ones.

Investigation of the emissions from an acrylate and a carpet adhesive in humid and alkaline environments by the micro-scale headspace vial (MHV) method

In this study, emissions from a carpet adhesive and an acrylate dispersion in simulated humid and alkaline environments were investigated by the micro-scale head space vial (MHV) method. Relative humidity (RH) levels of 75%, 86% and 93% were tested in combination with pH values in the range 10-13. The polymeric materials were exposed at these conditions in sealed 20 mL headspace vials. Chemical analysis of the volatile emission products was performed by headspace solid-phase micro-extraction with subsequent gas chromatography mass spectrometry after three and 36 days. The effect of the RH and pH on the emissions was investigated. It was found that 2-ethyl-1-hexanol was one of the major volatile constituents, and that the emissions of this compound increased dramatically for pH > 12. This can be explained by alkali catalyzed hydrolysis of ester-linked 2-ethylhexyl groups. The other compounds that were detected after exposure of the adhesive were not as strongly dependant on pH and RH as 2-ethyl-1-hexanol.     

Adhesive and dielectric properties of novel polyimides with bis(3,3′-aminophenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-trifluoromethyl phenyl phosphine oxide (mDA7FPPO)

Polyimides with a low dielectric constant and excellent adhesion were prepared from a diamine containing phosphine oxide and fluorine groups, bis(3,3′-aminophenyl-2,3,5,6-tetrafluoro-4-trifluoromethyl phenyl phosphine oxide (mDA7FPPO), and rigid-rod type dianhydride containing fluorine groups, such as 3,6-di(3′,5′-bis(trifluoromethyl)-phenyl)pyromellitic dianhydride (12FPMDA). The polyimides were synthesized via the known two-step process, preparation of poly(amic-acid) followed by solution imidization, and characterized by FT-IR, NMR, DSC, TGA and TMA. In addition, their solubility, intrinsic viscosity, dielectric constant and adhesive property were also evaluated. For comparison, 3,6-di(4′-trifluoromethylphenyl) pyromellitic dianhydride (6FPMDA) and 3,6-diphenylpyromellitic dianhydride (DPPMDA) were also utilized. The prepared polyimides exhibited high T_g (276-314 °C), excellent thermal stability (>500 °C in air), good adhesive property (104.7-126.3 g/mm), good solubility, and very low dielectric constant (2.34-2.89).

An elastic-plastic hybrid adhesion model for contacting rough surfaces in the presence of molecularly thin lubricant

The study of adhesion has received considerable attention in recent years, partly due to advances in the design and fabrication of micro/nano devices. Many adhesion investigations are centered on single-spherical-contact models, which include the classic Johnson-Kendall-Roberts (JKR), improved Derjaguin-Muller-Toporov (IDMT), and Maugis-Dugdale (MD) models. Based on the IDMT single-asperity model, adhesive rough surface contact models have also been developed, which are valid for elastic and elastic-plastic contact conditions. A limitation of the IDMT-based models is that they are only valid for application cases with low adhesion parameter values. In this research, a contacting rough surface adhesion model was developed by combining an extended Maugis-Dugdale (EMD) model (which is only valid for elastic contacts) with an IDMT-based elastic-plastic adhesion model. The proposed model, termed the elastic-plastic hybrid adhesion model, is valid for the entire adhesion parameter range and also for elastic-plastic contacts. The proposed model gives results similar to the EMD rough surface model when the contact is primarily elastic. Moreover, the proposed model was compared to an IDMT-based model (ISBL model) and both gave similar results for contacts with low adhesion parameter values. With high adhesion parameter values, the ISBL model fails, whereas the proposed model correctly predicts higher adhesion. Last, based on the stiffness of the external force, the instability for adhesive rough surfaces in contact was also discussed, and it was postulated that a high peak value of the external force stiffness directly relates to the unstable contact process.     

Effects of concave and convex substrate curvature on cell mechanics and the cytoskeleton

In order to understand how cells respond to concave and convex subcellular surface structures,colloidal crystal array and honeycomb-structured surfaces composed of highly ordered hexagonal units with completely inverse curvature were fabricated via facile self-assembly and breath figure approaches, respectively.The influence of hexagonal surface curvature on cell fate was subsequently investigated. Cells underwent more extensive spreading on the convex colloidal crystal array surface,while adhesive forces were higher on the concave honeycomb surface.The behaviors of cells on the different surfaces were investigated by comparing cell morphology,cellular adhesive force and cytoskeleton structure.The results revealed comprehensive differences in cell behavior between those on concave honeycomb surfaces and convex colloidal crystal arrays.     

Waterborne epoxy adhesive derived from epoxidized soybean oil and dextrin: Synthesis and characterization

In the present study, waterborne epoxy (WBE) was prepared and the parameters involved in the synthesis of WBE have been optimized based on physicochemical analysis. A dextrin-based curing agent (DCA) was synthesized from dextrin and trimellitic anhydride at variable molar ratios, reaction temperature, reaction duration, and solvent. Furthermore, the optimized composition of DCA and WBE system was used as adhesive in wood bonding. A comparative analysis of DCA-cured-bonded system was studied with phenol-formaldehyde (PF)-bonded adhesive system. From all the analyses, the performance characteristic WBE–DCA adhesive system was found comparable with that of PF-bonded system.
