Low surface energy materials Certain polymeric substrates are difficult to bond. The main reason that these materials present problems is their low surface energy which is unlike metals, ceramics, and most other polymers. The low surface energy simply prevents conventional adhesives from making intimate contact (wettability) with the substrate surface and this reduces adhesion. Image 1: a) Surface Free …

The non‐steady‐state or transient technique records a measurement during the heating process. The method determines thermal conductivity properties by means of transient sensors. These measurements can be made relatively quickly, which garners an advantage over steady‐state techniques. For this reason, numerous solutions have been derived for the transient heat conduction equation by …

Thermal properties Heat flows across temperature differences. There are three modes of heat transfer: conduction, radiation, and convection. Conduction and radiation are fundamental physical mechanisms, while convection is really conduction as affected by fluid flow. Conduction is an exchange of energy by direct interaction between molecules of a substance containing temperature differences. …

Resins are used in a lot of formulations of Coatings, Inks, Paints, and dispersions of fillers, quartz, pigments that have functional application. As a definition of resin: A thick, sticky substance that is produced by   some trees and that becomes yellow and hard after it is collected, or any of various similar substances produced by a chemical process for use in industry: Or any of various solid or semisolid amorphous fusible flammable natural …

What makes silicone rubber versatile? Polymers are widely used in industry and in our daily life because of their diverse functionality, light weight, low cost and excellent chemical stability. However, on some applications such as heat exchangers and electronic packaging, the low thermal conductivity of polymers is one of the major technological …

Silicone is an odorless and colorless synthetic rubber widely used in various sectors thanks to its special properties. It is a polymer of high molecular weight and three-dimensional crosslinking; they are formed by a main chain of silicon and oxygen atoms, which unlike quartz (SiO2), has an organic group R every four …
