Recent studies of self-condensation and co-condensation of melamine-formaldehyde resins; cure at low temperatures

Self-condensation: recent research on the chemical pathways by which alcoholated melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resins react with themselves and on the product structures is summarized. Model compound studies suggest that bridges are less stable than widely thought unless they are in hexahydro-1,3,5-triazine ring structures. In acyclic structures they are probably less stable than bridges. Co-condensation: studies of how the composition of MF resins influences the rates of reaction with poly(ol) co-reactant show that MF resins that contain very low levels of and/or functionality are quite reactive. Reactivities of a variety of poly(ester) and acrylic coreactants were studied. By combining reactive MF resins with reactive co-reactants one can formulate high solids enamels that cure by co-condensation in 30 min at 50 to 65 °C with 0.5 parts per hundred (phr) of p-toluenesulfonic acid (p-TSA) catalyst. Cure at 25 °C appears feasible with higher catalyst levels.     

Development and characterization of silicone/phosphorus modified epoxy materials and their application as anticorrosion and antifouling coatings

Epoxy resin is chosen for our present study owing to its exceptional combination of properties such as easy processing, high safety, excellent solvent and chemical resistance, toughness, low shrinkage on cure, good electrical, mechanical and corrosion resistance with excellent adhesion to many substrates. This versatility in formulation made epoxy resins widely applied for surface coatings, adhesives, laminates, composites, potting, painting materials, encapsulant for semiconductor and insulating material for electric devices. There are numerous paint/coating systems based on epoxy resin available for corrosion and fouling prevention. They however are not completely satisfactory in field applications, where high corrosion, fouling and flame resistance are required. The demand for epoxy resin as corrosion/fouling resistant coatings is restricted mainly due to its inferior characteristics like poor impact strength, high rigidity, and moisture absorbing nature besides inadequate flame retardant properties. It is for this reason that silicones and phosphorus-based compounds are used as modifier in this work by intercrosslinking network mechanism (ICN) to obtain epoxy resin with desired properties ideally suitable for field applications for preventing corrosion and fouling with flame retardantancy. The present work involves the development of solvent free silicone/phosphorus modified epoxy coating systems, since solvent free coating systems are widely used for numerous applications due to their lower cost per unit film thickness, freedom from fire and pollution hazard and ability to provide better performance. For the development of coating systems, epoxy resin (X) serves as base material, hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane (HTPDMS) as modifier, γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS) as crosslinking agent and dibutyltindilaurate (DBTDL) as catalyst. Polyamidoamine (A), aromatic amine adducts (B) and phosphorus-containing diamine (C) were used as curing agents. The study also describes the evaluation of corrosion resistant behaviour of unmodified epoxy and siliconized epoxy coatings by potentiodynamic polarization method, electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), salt-spray and antifouling tests. The results are discussed.

Li-intercalation electrochemical/electrochromic properties of vanadium pentoxide films by sol electrophoretic deposition

Thin films of orthorhombic V₂O₅ have been prepared by sol electrophoretic deposition (EPD) followed by post-treatment at 500 °C. Their electrochemical and optical performances have been investigated for possible applications in electrochemical/electrochromic devices. Li⁺-intercalation properties of the films have been explored in two voltage ranges: 0.4 to −1.1 V and 0.4 to −1.6 V versus Ag/Ag⁺, respectively. High capacities of over 300 mAh/g are acquired in the wider voltage range at a current density of 50 μA/cm² and moderate capacities of 140 and 110 mAh/g are obtained in the narrower voltage range at a current density of 25 and 50 μA/cm², respectively. Electrochemical measurements have shown that the films demonstrate good cyclability in both voltage ranges. X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and optical spectra have been used to examine the changes in crystallinity, microstructure, morphology and transmittance of the films during cycling. Films cycled to a deeper voltage of −1.6 V versus Ag/Ag⁺ deliver higher capacity with appreciable morphological change, while films cycled in the narrower voltage range show moderate capacity and maintain the morphology, optical responses and crystalline structure. Voltage range can be optimized in between to acquire both high capacity and stability in structure, electrochemical and optical properties. High Li⁺-intercalation capacity and good cyclic stability are attributed to the porous structure of V₂O₅ films prepared by EPD.
