Abstract: A two part composition formulation is provided with a composition part A including a phenol novolac epoxy in combination with a bisphenol F epoxy, bisphenol A epoxy, or a combination thereof that define a base resin. A resorcinol diglycidyl ether present is present in part A in a ratio of 1.5-25:1 relative to the base resin. A part A inorganic particulate has x-y-z average linear dimension of between 500 and 6,000 microns. An activator part B includes a curative operative to cure the base resin and the resorcinol diglycidyl ether along with a part B inorganic particulate has x-y-z average linear dimension of between 500 and 6,000 microns. A coating is obtained upon mixing and cure in contact with a substrate to form a corrosion and abrasion resistant structure. A process of forming such a structure is also provided.

Abstract: A method of bonding includes providing a thermoplastic substrate having a surface with a surface energy value of less than a 48 miliJoules per meter squared. The surface is exposed to particulate formed in a combustion flame from a precursor. The particulate forms an adherent layer of metal oxide on the surface. An adhesive is applied to the adherent layer. A second substance is placed in in simultaneous contact with the adhesive to bond the thermoplastic. A laminate is provided that includes a thermoplastic substrate having a surface. An adherent layer of metal oxide is on a surface of the thermoplastic substrate. An adhesive is attached to the adherent layer. A second substance is in simultaneous contact with the adhesive.

Abstract: An adhesive composition is provided that includes a block copolymer present at greater than or equal to 30 total weight percent of the adhesive system comprising a high glass transition temperature in subunits Y and Y?, each of the subunits Y and Y? having a high glass transition temperature of from 70° C. to 130° C. with a low glass transition temperature subunit Z having a low glass transition temperature of from ?100° C. to 10° C. intermediate between said high glass transition temperature acrylate subunits to define a structure Y-Z-Y?. The triblock copolymer is dissolved in a monomer curable under free radical. A free radical initiator of a peroxide or a hydroperoxide are present in combination with a sulfonyl chloride, dihydropyridine and copper or vanadium salt. By heating the cured adhesive at or above 70° C., the adhesive is amenable to being removed, repaired, or reworked.

Abstract: A two part adhesive formulation is provided that has an adhesive part including methylmethacrylate monomer, an antioxidant, a cure inhibitor, and a polyfunctional monomer amount of dimethacrylate monomer, trimethacrylate monomer, or a combination thereof. An activator part includes methylmethacrylate monomer, and a cure accelerator. A toughening agent and an impact modifier in at least one of the adhesive part or the activator part. The adhesive formulation is well suited for forming a wind turbine blade from two or more substrates.

Abstract: A two-part adhesive formulation is provided that has an adhesive part A and an activator part B. The part A includes a monomer amount of a methacrylate ester monomer, a crosslinker amount of a polyfunctional monomer, an anti-oxidant, a free-radical polymerization inhibitor, and an adhesion promoter system to improve cured adhesive strength to a substrate, an impact modifier and a toughening agent and a free-radical polymerization initiator. The part B includes an impact modifier, butyl rubber, methacrylate ester monomer, and a free-radical polymerization accelerator yet varies in the weight ratio used relative to part A. Each of the part A and the part B have separate storage stability of at least 300 days at 23° C. A process of applying an adhesive to a substrate is provided that includes combining together parts A and B to form an adhesive mixture and applying the mixture to the substrate and allowed to cure.
