Fabrication and evaluation of novel sulfur/epoxy resin composites

Abstract In recent years, and with the progress of oil natural gas purification processes, it has been noticed that huge quantities sulfur are produced millions tons as byproducts, which is considered a dangerous substance may threaten safety health environment. So, this study aims to maximize elemental benefits in construction applications, especially coating sector. study, modified be used epoxy high-performance material. Firstly, was linseed at 160 °C. The chemically characterized by using FTIR XRD. After that, then partially replaced polymeric different weight percentages starting from 10 40%. Then, hardener added form cured sulfur/epoxy composites. Different techniques were examine morphology prepared composites such AFM, polarizing microscope, SEM. thermal also conducted TGA. addition, mechanical properties comprehensively studied including Young’s modulus, toughness, tensile strength, hardness, adhesion. results approved adhesion PC4 composite have improved 54%, 87%, 15%, 40%, 33%, respectively. Moreover, give high stability than virgin epoxy. overall can ratios reached
