This still limits their wide commercial applications. In this study, fresh soybean meal (FSM) was partially substituted for HTSM, effectively prolonging open time and reducing the viscosity of HTSM-based adhesive without compromising bonding performance. This improvement was mainly attributed to the synergistic interactions between undenatured soybean proteins and hydrophobic soybean oil (SO) present in FSM. Due to less water loss and fewer cross-linkages caused by heat-induced denaturation, the undenatured proteins can obviously reduce viscosity and prolong open time in HTSM-based adhesives. Additionally, the hydrophobic SO with its small molecular weight can inhibit water absorption by HTSM and act as a lubricant, thereby prolonging open time and reducing viscosity to some extent. The optimized HTSM-based adhesive, with 34.3 % FSM addition, exhibited a 91 % reduction in viscosity, an 89 % increase in open time, and a 17.6 % improvement in soaked wet strength (1.27 MPa). Therefore, adding FSM provides a facile strategy for effectively prolonging open time and reducing the viscosity of HTSM-based adhesives, making their performance comparable to commercial LTSM-based adhesives.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13732,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives","volume":"140 ","pages":"Article 104038"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-04-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143855765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this paper, porous fumed silica with large specific surface area and solid non-porous microsilica powder with small specific surface area were added to EVA hot melt adhesives respectively. The magnitude of the enhancement of the shear strength of EVA hot melt adhesives was explored, and the mechanisms that the two kinds of powders enhance the shear strength were investigated by XPS, ATR-IR, ¹HNMR, FE-SEM and DSC. The addition of fumed silica increased the shear strength of the composite hot melt adhesives, and reached the maximum value when the powder content was 2 %, which increased by about 14.3 % compared with pure EVA hot melt adhesives. Through XPS, ATR-IR and ¹HNMR it was found that the Si-OH on the surface of SiO₂ particles reacted with the ester carbonyl group in EVA to produce polymer alcohol, and the strong polar hydroxyl group on the surface of SiO₂ was changed to an acyl oxygen group. The acylation of the particles surface is conducive to reducing the agglomeration of SiO₂ particles and improving the compatibility between inorganic particles and organic polymers. The composite hot melt adhesive with 1 %, 2 %, and 3 % fumed silica content shows slight agglomeration of inorganic powder, while the agglomeration is significantly severe when the content is 4 %. DSC analysis showed that the crystallinity of EVA composite hot melt adhesives decreased first and then increased with the increase of powder content, and the decrease of crystallinity increased the shear strength. The improvement of the shear strength can be attributed to the enhancement of the compatibility caused by the reaction between fumed silica and EVA organic, as well as the decrease in crystallinity. The addition of microsilica powder improved the shear strength of the composite hot melt adhesives also, and the maximum value was reached when the powder content is 25 %, which was about 10.6 % higher than that of pure EVA hot melt adhesives. The increase amplitude is smaller than that of fumed silica. The reaction between microsilica powder particles and EVA pure hot melt adhesives was not found by XPS and ATR-IR detection, however, the ¹HNMR spectrum showed that there is a partial reaction between them, the degree of reaction was less than that between fumed silica and EVA hot melt adhesive. The crystallinity also showed a trend of first decreasing and then increasing with the increase of powder addition, with the minimum crystallinity at 10 %.

The research aimed to explore the cohesion-adhesion characteristics of polyurethane (PU) modified asphalt, and thus optimizing its constituent proportion and understanding its curing behaviors.

On this basis, the effects of composition ratio and its interactions on the cohesion-adhesion features were analyzed and the optimal composition ratio was determined. Lastly, the adhesion features of PU modified asphalt during its curing period were measured using pull-out test and atomic force microscopy (AFM), and thus the curing behaviors were expounded. The results showed that the composition-associated factors had interactive impacts on the cohesion and adhesion of PU modified asphalt, wherein the influence of PU prepolymer on the adhesion was more significant as the curing agent was incorporated at the high ratio. Further, the increase of compatibilizer and diluent adversely affected the cohesion-adhesion capacity of PU modified asphalt, and for obtaining the favorable cohesion-adhesion competence, the optimal constituent proportion was determined as PU prepolymer: curing agent: compatibilizer: diluent = 14: 1.80: 1.88: 3.12.

This method was tested on experimental samples consisting of aluminum substrates bonded with an acrylic adhesive.

Second, an Artificial Neural Network (ANN) model was trained and validated with features extracted from the sound pressure level (SPL) signal obtaining an average accuracy of 97.1 % for a 9-fold cross-validation.

However, as a type of nanofiller, CDs often aggregate, hindering effective dispersion. To address this dispersion challenge and enhance the properties of WPU adhesives, CDs were chemically grafted onto the macromolecular chains of WPUs using a silane coupling agent (KH550) as a linking agent. This method improved the adhesion strength of the resulting WPU nanocomposite adhesives, demonstrating the scientific validity of the approach. The successful grafting was confirmed through Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and energy-dispersive spectroscopy. Optimizing the material ratios between the silane coupling agent and CDs significantly reduced CD aggregation in the WPU adhesives, as shown by scanning electron microscopy images that indicated efficient dispersion of the CDs. Malvern particle size analysis and thermogravimetric analysis revealed that when the CDs-to-KH550 mass ratio was 1:10, the water dispersion particle size of silane-modified CDs (KCD) decreased from 447.7 nm to 160.0 nm, and the total weight loss reduced from 53.07 % to 35.55 %. Furthermore, the adhesion properties of WPU adhesives modified with KCDs (KCD-WPU) were notably enhanced. The U-peel strength of the KCD-WPU adhesive on the steel test sheet increased by 31.8 %–510 N m⁻¹ when the KCD content was 0.1 wt.%. The tensile strength of the KCD-WPU adhesive was 62.6 % greater than that of the original WPU adhesive. We proposed a mechanism for the improvement of properties in WPU adhesives grafted with a small amount of CDs.
