Toughening Methods for Improved Structural Epoxy Adhesives

A 90-min online short course by John Bishopp
Toughening Methods for Improved Structural Epoxy Adhesives
Advance/Renew your toughening strategies by discussing various chemistries in use today (CTBN, nanosystems, RLP/PUR blends...), their benefits and potential issues.

Let John Bishopp (>40 year-exp.) provide you with fresh ideas to innovate & optimize the toughness of your own structural epoxy adhesives.
Course Type Formulation - Level Intermediate
Why you should attend
  1. Don't get lost in the huge amount of literature with a guided tour from a hands-on expert
  2. Identify key optimization factors (particle size, second phase Tg...) for faster achievement of your toughness targets
  3. Get practical advices on how to efficiently implement toughening strategies in your formulations by interacting with John Bishopp
Who is it for?
Formulating chemists working in the field & to a certain degree, structural design engineers.

The following sections will be covered during this session:

  1. Definition of toughening

  2. Difference between flexibilising and toughening

  3. Mechanisms of toughening

  4. Detailed chemistry of the toughening polymers/telomers

  5. Reaction schematics for adduct formation

  6. Introduction to specific PUR/CTBN toughening

  7. Relatively novel low MW epoxies which aid in toughening

  8. High temperature toughening

  9. A brief introduction to nano-toughening

At the end of the training there will be a Q&A Session where you can pose questions to John Bishopp.

A transcript of all the questions and answers will be made available after the event.

Andrew R. , from ITW Red Head:
"Excellent! Many toughening approaches were discussed."

Brian S. , from Ashland Inc.:
"Mr. Bishopp obviously knew his material well and I liked the amount of chemical detail."

Wolfgang K. , from Wacker Chemie AG:
"Perfectly what I wanted to know, VERY fast technical pace, but this is what I am looking for - lots of content!!"

Toughening of structural epoxy adhesives is still one of the major requirements of the end-user design engineers. There is almost too much literature on the subject and a guided tour is essential to help rationalize development projects.

Attendees will come away with a structured view on the various toughening mechanisms and associated chemistry, supported by important references (patents & papers) and practical considerations.

To get to the next level faster, participants will have the opportunity to question somebody who has been formulating tough structural adhesives for 40 years; getting away from the model systems so often presented at conferences and entering the real world!
