Abstract: One-component epoxy adhesives containing a phosphorus-modified epoxy resin, a toughener and an epoxy resin that is neither rubber-modified nor phosphorus-modified. These adhesives are structural adhesives useful in automotive applications. They exhibit particularly good corrosion resistance.

Abstract: Disclosed are one-component epoxy resin adhesive compositions which include (a) one or more non-rubber-modified epoxy resins; (b) one or more latent epoxy curing agents; (c) one or more toughening agents; and (d) zinc oxide nanoparticles. The one-component epoxy resin adhesive compositions exhibit improved toughness of the adhesive as measured by its lap shear strength as well as improved environmental stability, i.e., corrosion protection, by addition of the zinc oxide nanoparticles when applied to metal substrates.

Abstract: A one-component epoxy-modified polyurethane and/or urea adhesive includes very high levels of reactive urethane group- and/or urea group-containing tougheners, an epoxy resin and epoxy hardener. These adhesives are formulated to cure at high temperatures and surprisingly provide high elongations, excellent thermal stability and good adhesive properties.

Abstract: The invention relates to an adhesive composition having an added component of rubber-epoxy such as XNBR-epoxy adducts. It was found that the new adhesive composition significantly reduces meander formation in the making of automotive parts.

Abstract: The invention relates to structural epoxy adhesives comprising an epoxy resin, a trifunctional epoxy resin; and a polyphenolic blocked polyurethane. The cured adhesives exhibit high Tg and good mechanical properties. The invention includes methods of making, and curing the adhesives, as well as the cured adhesive and article comprising the cured adhesive.

Abstract: Core-shell rubbers are incorporated into epoxy adhesives. The adhesives are structural type adhesives that contain an epoxy resin and a toughener, and may contain a liquid rubber in addition to the core-shell rubber. The adhesives have good modulus and tensile strength, which are obtained without loss of elongation and adhesive properties.

Abstract: Structural adhesives containing a non-rubber-modified epoxy resin, an elastomeric toughener and a curing agent further include an epoxy-functional fatty acid oligomer and a polyol. The presence of the epoxy-functional fatty acid oligomer and a semi-crystalline or crystalline polyester polyol in combination increase the storage stability of the structural adhesive.

Abstract: The invention relates to an epoxy adhesive composition comprising a) a first epoxy resin, b) a second epoxy resin modified with an acrylonitrile-butadiene rubber, the latter comprising on average less than about 25 weight percent acrylonitrile, and c) a toughener. The total amount of component b) and component c) is higher than about 30 percent based on the total weight of the composition, and the weight ratio of component c) to component b) is greater than about 1:1. The invention further relates to the use of said epoxy adhesive composition for the assembly of parts of a vehicle. It also relates to a vehicle, parts of which are assembled by said epoxy adhesive composition.
