Unmodified, epoxy resins cause certain problems for both the
adhesive formulator and end-user. They are often rigid and brittle;
hence, impact resistance and peel strength are poor. For decades,
Chemist have been vigorously working to minimize these major
shortcomings. Based on a popular course sponsored by the Society of
Plastics Engineers and written by an authority in the field, this
comprehensive text presents a variety of methods to accomplish what
up to now has been a formidable task. Beginning with epoxy
chemistry, moving on to fillers, filler treatments, and
surfactants, and ending with current and future development in
formulating Epoxy Adhesives, this rigorous text addressed the
problem of improving flexibility, durability and strength by adding
chemical groups to the epoxy structure either via the base resin or
the curing agent or by adding separate flexibilizing resins to the
formulation to create an epoxy-hybrid adhesive.
