Structural adhesives are used in a variety of applications such as automotive, durable goods, and building and construction. Adhesive chemistries can encompass one and two component polyurethane (PU), epoxy or cyanoacrylate, but in this article, we will discuss about the usage of polyurethane as the structural adhesive in automobile industry. Polyurethanes are made by the exothermic reactions between alcohols with two or more reactive hydroxyl (-OH) groups per molecule (diols, triols, polyols) and isocyanates that have more than one reactive isocyanate group (-NCO) per molecule (diisocyanates, polyisocyanates). For example, a diisocyanate reacts with a ethane-1,2-diol: The structural adhesives in the industrial usage is increasing recently because of their ability to bond different material especially in automobile industry structural adhesives have been widely used to replace the traditional mechanical joint such as welds, rivets or screw for the bonding of metal substrates. The concept of automotive weight lightening is becoming …show more content…
While highly branched PEP result in rigid PU with good heat and chemical resistance, less branched PEP gives PU with good flexibility and low chemical resistance. The increase in the ionic group content in the chain will increases the viscosity of the PU dispersion. This happened due to an increase of the hydrophilic structure through the addition of more salt groups and urethane linkages. At the high-pressured application step, the viscosity should be very low so that the adhesive can be applied efficiently to the automotive body. Thixotropic behavior, crosslinking characteristics, and lap-shear and T-peel adhesion strengths for various adhesives were significantly affected by the molecular weights of PU. Maximum lap-shear and T-peel strengths increased as the molecular weight of PU within an adhesive

Production of aluminium alloy components is not very complex but joining of these materials can sometimes
PVC or Polyvinyl Chloride (Poly (chloroethene)) is a type of plastic used all over the world for a range of things such as pipes, clothing and electrical cables. PVC is considered a thermoplastic resin meaning it resoftens when heated. It’s molecular formula is (C2H3CL)n and is a white powder that’s resistant to oxidation and degradation. However, it can be harmful to the environment but since it’s economically beneficial to many countries this is often overlooked.
Stiffness The effect of this additive of the polymer in terms of stiffness is that it affects the polymer in a good way. This is because it makes the polymer stiff and more tough when it is made.
If the part or piece still has its structural strength then an epoxy product could be used. Some of these epoxies that are used bondo and POR 15. When using these pro...
Denture teeth can be made of acrylic poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or composite resins. PMMA is a polymer - a material made the from joining of methyl methacrylate monomers. Properties of PMMA include resistance to abrasion, chemical stability and a high boiling point. (Jun Shen et al. 2011). However, weak flexure and impact strength of PMMA are of concern as they account for denture failure. (Bolayir G, Boztug A and Soygun K. 2013). Composite denture teeth are made of a three distinct phases - filler, matrix and coupling agents. Out of the types of composite teeth available, nano-filled composite teeth are preferred. Composite teeth have a PMMA coating around the tooth and a high content of filler particles. This gives them strength, higher resistance to forces than acrylic teeth and provides compete polymerization due to the PMMA coating. (Anusavice, K. J., Phillips, R. W., Shen, C., & Rawls, H. R, 2012). If the interface between the PMMA denture base and PMMA or composite teeth was weak, the denture will not be able to sustain occlusal forces, making the base-teeth interface, an entity of significance.
This maximises the intermolecular forces between the chains as they are able to pack closely together. However, this reduces the flexibility and is therefore quite rigid and strong. This isotactic polyvinyl chloride structure occurs very little. Another structure that is produced very little is the syndiotactic PVC. The syndiotactic PVC has a regular arrangement and has similar properties of flexibility, rigidity and strength to the isotactic PVC as shown in Figure #.
spaced –CONH– amide groups. Nylon 6-6, or poly(hexamethylneadipamide), is composed of. two structural monomers (hexamethylendiamine (H2N(CH2)6NH2) and adipic acid. (HOOC(CH2)4COOH), whereas Nylon 6, or poly(6-caprolactam), is composed of a single structural unit (either 6-aminocaproic acid (H2N(CH2)4COOH) or caprolactam). Ultimately, the answer is yes.
For example, the material would be made of shorter polymer chains that would separate and stretch under pressure, but be sturdy under normal amounts of pressure. The material however would have to be able to withstand high speeds so it wouldn’t breakdown while driving. Since silly putty is flexible and able to mold back into its physical shape by force, it could be used in this plastic. Also, if a car was hit and bent inwards, once the material was no longer experiencing the force, it would expand back to normal with no body damage, similar to toothpaste.

"Loose construction is a belief that the constitution is a dynamic living document that must change as the nation develops" Loose construction in general words is loose interpretation of the constitution by judges and the jury but in most cases the judge because he has the final word in what happens in a case. The constitution was made by our founding father in 1787 the constitution is made up of rules and laws to keep order and justice and for the protection of the people. It also implies the natural rights or a person in court and out of court. It has been decades since the u.s constitution was written and ratified but yet we are still following what it says. There are some parts of the constitution that are morally correct but also there are some parts that just don't follow modern times. Loose construction first began its origins in the early 1790’s with one of the early loose constructionist Alexander Hamilton who was also a federalist and Thomas Jefferson who was anti-federalist and a held views on strict constructionism. President Washington secretary of state Alexander Hamilton, he designed a bank of the United States, this bank would be powerful and the main stockholder would be the U.S government. The federal treasury would deposit excess monies, it would revive business expenditures and it would print paper money so it could obtain a needed strong national currency. Thomas Jefferson was not fond of this new plan that Hamilton had created, he thought there was no authorization within the constitution. Jefferson was
chains instead of hydrogen atoms. Cross-linking is another way in which the polymer can be made stronger. This involves ultraviolet radiation that bombards the polymer with electrons and formulates bonds between the molecular chains of the polymers. This is like linear polyethylene but different in that it is more impact resistant, and it has a much higher density. This allows it to be stored or be used with different chemicals that would normally cause the polymer to desolve.3 This can start to become a problem because as the polymer continues to become chemically enhanced. So the ways of dissolving and recycling the polymer become more difficult.
As for the attachment method, there are two main types of joint: mechanically fastened joints (bolted, riveted) and adhesively joints. The method of using screws which is applied in the project can be classify as mechanically fastened and uses friction between the joined parts to force them together. The joint is designed to allow load transfer between the components in such a way that the structure has the necessary performance. The benefits of bolted joint are lower installation costs, lower maintenance costs, increased productivity, lower fastener costs and flexibility. One problem is that wind turbines are fatigue machines—always vibrating and working to loosen their fasteners. Therefore, the lifetime of the bolted joint may need to be considered. Another problem is that with carbon-fiber and metal, galvanic corrosion can occur which is harmful to the machines.
Polymers are made from relatively small molecular fragments known as monomers that are joined together. Synthetic polymers which include the large group known as plastics are divided into three groups: commodity thermoplastic, engineering thermoplastics (ETP), and advanced engineering thermoplastics (AETP). The engineering thermoplastics (ETP) have heat resistance, strong mechanical properties, lightness, self-lubrication, and easy manufacturing. This plastic category has been lately used to replace wood and metal applications.
Plastic fasteners have grown to become viable products for joining applications in various industries. They are regarded as suitable alternatives to metal fasteners, and are known for their flexibility, durability, and application versatility. The various material features and benefits makes them ideal products for applications in a variety of industries such as aviation, marine, automotive, construction, oil and gas, food and beverage, sewage plants, and heavy machinery.
