The cured MF film usually shows some defects such as autogenous-shrinkage, easy brittle fracture, and easy to swell and crack, so it is difficult to use MF as paint or coating directly. In this study, a novel melamine-formaldehyde resin oligomer (dMFO) which has two reactive groups (-CH<sub>2</sub>OH and -CH=CH<sub>2</sub>) was prepared by introducing hydroxypropyl acrylate (HPA) in the synthesis process of MF. The dMFO is then used as a coating resin and cured by thermal-assisted double polymerization (named as IDTC) to construct the dMFO coating with an in-situ interpenetrating polymer network (IPN). The result shows that the dMFO coating exhibits good structural toughness and intrinsic hydrophobicity just like an impact resistance of 110 mm, abrasion resistance of 1.4 mg/100R, and adhesion of 6.32 MPa. Furthermore, the cured dMFO coating showed an obvious intrinsic hydrophobicity, with a water contact angle of 92.3°and water resistance time of 8.5h. From the synthesis of dMFO, curing process and properties of the coating, it is shown that the reasonable IPN structure of dMFO coating is constructed by in-situ interpenetration of thermoplastic macromolecular segments in the thermosetting three-dimensional network structure. The developed dMFO coating technology is of great significance in promoting a practical application of MF in the field of coating and painting.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":13732,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Adhesion and Adhesives","volume":"138 ","pages":"Article 103925"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143168973","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}

The layered structure is prone to debonding, which critically impairs the therapeutic process. The purpose of this study is to develop a quantitative model to analyze the nonlinear and potentially unstable debonding failure in the layered structure. The model integrates the concepts of the high-order theory with nonlinear cohesive interfaces and rigid body displacement field of the bonded bracket. Numerical methods, based on a specially tailored finite element formulation and the arc-length continuation method, trace the full nonlinear response path and characterize its stability. The analysis is validated through comparison with experiments documented in the literature. The principal results quantify the unstable nature of debonding failure and identify factors influencing the instability. The analysis highlights the influence of the rich stress and displacement field in the adhesive layer on failure progression. This is achieved by exploring the coupled role of shear and tensile stresses in the bond layer and the coupling of slip and separation across the interfaces, which jointly form the shear-peel effect, even under globally tangential loading.
