1. Introduction A study of the physical and mechanical properties of B-45TH and B-45

was carried out in order to better understand potential applications of

the two-part epoxy system.

TMA, TGA and DSC were used to study the effect of curing method

and mixing technique on several important physical property

characteristics. Table 1 summarizes the experiments that were

performed.

Analysis of the physical properties of B-45TH included for the resin

mixed with a static mixer1 and by hand mix2:

• Comparing the glass transition temperature of a hand mixed Vs a static mixed sample,

• The outgassing behavior of the epoxy using three curing methods and outgassing under elevated operational temperatures,

• The extent of curing reaction as a function of curing method,

• Environmental test of 85RH / 85°C with three curing methods,

• Moisture absorption, (hand mix)

• Oil absorption, (hand mix)

• Percent solid of hand mix epoxy compared to a static mix,

• Contact angle relative to static mix and hand mix,

• Joint strength relative to static mix and hand mix.

Other tests included:

• Tensile strength, (hand mix)

• Static fatigue strength, (hand mix)

• Tear strength, (hand mix)

• Velocity of sound, (hand mix)

• Thermal conductivity, (hand mix)

• Coefficient of thermal expansion, (hand mix)

• Lap shear tests on various substrates, (static mix)

• Peel tests on various substrates, (static mix)

• Bead length Vs bead width for B-45TH dispensed from a static

mixer.

The glass transition temperature was not apparent in either the epoxy

that was hand mixed or sample that was mixed using a static mixer by

analyzing with the DSC. The TMA was then used to determine the Tg

for the two samples.

Theoretically the glass transition temperature should be approximately

60°C. Expanding the graphs from 40°C to 80°C did reveal that the Tg

for the static mixed sample is 64.93°C and the Tg for the hand mixed

sample is 65.02°C. These values are in agreement with the theoretical

Tg. The difference in Tg between the two samples is negligible.

A Study of the Physical Properties of BONDiTTM B-45TH Epoxy

Thermogravimetric Analysis (TGA) was used for the outgassing study.

The initial outgassing study was performed on un-cured material from room

temperature to 300°C at a rate of 10°C/min. This scan determines the amount

of outgassing during cure as a function of weight loss. At 60°C, the weight

loss due to outgassing is only 0.149%. Up to 220°C, were curing appears to

end and before degradation, the total weight loss is 7.225%.

Table 2. Percent weight loss as a function of curing method

From the results, it is possible to conclude that when cured under lower

temperatures there is more free water and volatile material in the epoxy.

There also is a significant difference between the onset of outgassing

temperature for the heat-cured methods and the sample cured at

ambient temperature.

Further testing by TGA indicates a correlation between weight lost

during the thermal cycle and curing technique. In Figure 3 and Table 2

the results are summarized.

A Study of the Physical Properties of BONDiTTM B-45TH Epoxy

In order to know the amount of outgassing at regular operating tem-

peratures, an isothermal scan at 60°C for four hours was performed and

only 2.624% weight loss was measured. This relates to 0.66% outgas

weight loss per hour.

Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) was used for the cure study.

The adhesive was cured at typical (uncontrolled 16°C - 22°C) room

temperature (RT) for 24 hours. It was observed in that period the surface

remained somewhat tacky and the bulk of the material is very flexible.

An incomplete cure was suspected. To determine the cure schedule a

DSC was performed on un-cured material from room temperature to

300°C at a rate of 5°C/min. Curing began at 30°C, peaked at about

90°C and ended at about 170°C. Degradation occurred at temperatures

greater than 170°C. Normalized with respect to the sample amount,

the heat of reaction during cure was measured to be 156.25J/g, the area

under bell curve.

A DSC scan was performed on a sample cured at room temperature

(controlled 21°C) for 24 hours to measure the amount of cure. Normalized

to sample weight yielded a heat of reaction of 3.60J/g thus making the

sample 97.7% cured, meaning that a 24-hour, 21°C room temperature

cure is sufficient for many applications. It is to be expected that a three

(3) day cure or longer will produce further cure and improvement in

physical properties for ambient cure applications.

The extent of completion of the curing reaction can be easily

evaluated by looking at the heat released when the epoxy is put

through a thermal cycle. Figure 7 shows the profiles of the exothermic

curing reaction for several curing methods. Table 3 lists the specific

heat for three curing methods and an uncured sample.

Table 3. Specific heats of cured epoxy and uncured epoxy

CtDSC2 65°C for 4 hrs 1.32 J/g

CtDSC3 93°C for 2 hrs 1.81 J/g

CtDSC4 no cure 165.25 J/g

From the specific heat data, it can be seen that optimized curing is

correlate with curing temperature. For instance, at ambient

temperature the material will never fully cure, yet be sufficient for the

application. Further studies by tensile strength tests indicate optimal

operational cure is approximately 100°C for three (3) hours.

The three curing recommended curing methods were subjected to an

environmental test. The test was an 85RH / 85°C for duration of

approximately four days. Figure 8 shows the weight loss of the tests

processed using the three curing methods. Table 4 lists the percent

weight loss of each of the tests.

The percent weight loss by EsTGA2 is the most significant. The weight

lost by EsTGA1 and EsTGA3 are very similar. This result was not

expected because of their very different curing methods. However, the

RT was uncontrolled and over all the difference between the samples is

relatively small. A larger statistical sampling would clarify the

differences, if any.

The total solids content contribution from the resin and the hardener

is very comparable. Figure 11 shows the graphs of the total mass lost

by each of the tests. A direct comparison of the total solids content in

the epoxy mixture, the resin and the hardener can be made by

There is not a lot of filler in the B-45TH epoxy system. It is interesting to

A Study of the Physical Properties of BONDiTTM B-45TH Epoxy

The surface energy of B-45TH prepared by using a static mixer and by

hand was looked at. The surface energy of the epoxy side exposed to

air while curing and the side that was on the Teflon surface were

compared. The data for the contact angle is shown in Figure 12.

The static mixed epoxy exposed to air while curing had an erratic

contact angle profile. The standard deviation of the contact angle for

the static, air set was approximately 14°. The backside of the epoxy had

a much lower standard deviation of only 3°. In general, the backside

that was not exposed to air during curing (static and hand mixed) had

much higher contact angle values.

Joint Strength

The data collected from the joint strength testing did not reveal any

great disparity in strength between epoxy that is static mixed and

hand mixed. Figure 13 shows the joint strength for 20 samples of the

static mixed epoxy and the hand mixed epoxy.

Note the hand mixed sample had a higher standard deviation of .83
