  • Publication number: 20240327689
    Abstract: A two-part polyurethane adhesive exhibits excellent adhesion to low surface energy substrates such as polypropylene. The adhesive consists of a polyol component and a polyisocyanate component that are combined and cured to form the adhesive bond. The polyol component is characterized in containing a monoalcohol that has a molecular weight of 100 to 2000. The presence of the monoalcohol promotes strong bonding and a cohesive failure mode that is preferred in vehicular applications.

  • Publication number: 20240110085
    Abstract: One-component toughened epoxy structural adhesives contain fibrous mineral fillers that have an aspect ratio of ?6. The presence of the fibrous filler leads to a significant increase in elastic modulus while having little if any adverse effect on other properties such as dynamic impact peel resistance.

  • Publication number: 20220251331
    Abstract: The teachings herein relate to new compositions for thermal interface materials that provide improved thermal conductivity without requiring filler materials that are expensive or abrasive. The improved thermal conductivity is achieved using a combination of increased filler loading, selection of a filler having abroad particle size distribution, and selection of filler that is non-abrasive. In order to achieve maximum thermal conductivity, the combination of the liquid matrix material and the filler preferably are chosen to avoid forming bonds between filler particles. Such bonds can also be avoided by including a surface modifier that modifies the surface of the filler particles.

  • Publication number: 20220228045
    Abstract: Disclosed is an adhesive system and method of use thereof wherein the adhesive composition comprises a moisture curable adhesive comprised of an isocyanate terminated prepolymer and a cure accelerator having two curatives components having different cure kinetics. The cure accelerator is comprised of an isocyanate reactive compound comprising a primary, secondary or tertiary amino group, or a primary thiol group having faster curing kinetics resulting an increase in bead stability within the first minutes and a polyol selected from a diol and/or triol with slower curing kinetics allowing for sufficient open time and yet a fast strength build up. The preferred method of application of the adhesive system is via a 1K application gun.

  • Publication number: 20220213249
    Abstract: The teachings herein relate to new compositions for thermal interface materials that provide improved thermal conductivity without requiring filler materials that are expensive or abrasive. The improved thermal conductivity is achieved using a combination of increased filler loading, selection of a filler having abroad particle size distribution, and selection of filler that is non-abrasive. The thermal interface material preferably has a specific gravity of about 4.0 or less, about 3.0 or less, about 2.5 or less, or about 2.4 or less. The thermal interface material may be a two-part composition. In order to achieve maximum thermal conductivity, each part preferably includes a liquid matrix material and dispersed filler. Upon mixing, the first and second parts may react to increase this viscosity (e.g., by polymerizing and/or cross-linking). The first part preferably includes a carbamate-containing compound that reacts with a carbamate-reactive compound, which is preferably in the second component.
