A recyclable epoxy for composite wind turbine blades

open access: yesAdvanced Manufacturing: Polymer & Composites Science, 2019
Disposal of wind turbine blades, which are generally non-biodegradable and non-recyclable products comprised largely of fiber-reinforced thermoset polymers (FRPs), pose environmental problems when components reach end-of-service-life.

Decoupling Dynamics and Crosslink Stability in Supramolecular Hydrogels Using Associative Exchange

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
How does reorganization impact the stability of supramolecular hydrogels? In contrast to dissociative crosslink exchange, implementing associative exchange in macroscale DNA hydrogels enables decoupling of reorganization dynamics from thermal and mechanical stability.

Evolution of dispersion of carbon nanotubes in Polyamide 11 matrix composites as determined by DC conductivity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Double-walled Carbon NanoTubes (DWCNTs) have been dispersed in a Polyamide 11 (PA11) matrix by two routes: in the solvent way, Polyamide 11 was first dissolved in its solvent to ensure a liquid state dispersion of carbon nanotubes by ultrasonic way; in ...

Ammonium Salts as Curing Agents to Obtain Ionic Epoxy Resins With a Thermoplastic‐to‐Thermoset Transition

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Ionic epoxy networks are prepared using ammonium salts as hardeners, leading to a two‐stage curing process with a thermoplastic‐like intermediate. This uncommon behavior enables extrusion and fabrication of thermoplastic prepregs that can be cured into thermoset composites.

Epoxy resins produce improved plastic scintillators [PDF]

open access: yes, 1967
Plastic scintillator produced by the substitution of epoxy resins for the commonly used polystyrene is easy to cast, stable at room temperature, and has the desirable properties of a thermoset or cross-linked system.
