Microwave and Conventional Mechanical & Thermal Analysis of the Reactions in Epoxy Vinyl Ester Resins

Over a billion microwave ovens are used every day thus witnessing the importance of microwave heating in the world today. Microwave processing of polymers is a comparatively recent and vastly expanding field in industry due to economical advantages through energy saving and accelerated manufacture. Factors that hinder the use of microwaves in materials processing are decreasing every day. Epoxy...

Synthesis of magnetically active interpenetrating polymer network for drug release

Interpenetrating polymer networks (IPN) were formed involving hydrophobic polybutyl acrylate (PBA) and hydrophilic poly hydroxyethyl acrylate (PHEA). PBA prepolymer was first formed in presence of ferric oxide nanoparticles (

Effect of Micro Glass Flake on Morphological and Rheological Behaviour of Epoxy Vinyl Ester Composite Coatings

In the present work, attempts were made to investigate the reinforcement and treatment effect of GF on morphological and rheological behaviour of GF/epoxy vinyl ester composites. GF was incorporated into epoxy vinyl ester resin by sonication, and mechanical agitation. Rheological and morphological properties were studied as a function of particle treatment and size distributions. The dispersion...
