Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
The mixing ratio deviation of the main agent and the curing agent in two-part curable adhesive compositions leads to varying curing rates, foaming, and reduced tensile properties such as strength at break and elongation at break.
Innovation Solution
A two-part curable adhesive composition comprising a main agent with a urethane prepolymer obtained by reacting a raw polyisocyanate and a crystalline polyol compound, and a curing agent containing a non-crystalline polyol compound and a polyamine compound, with specific equivalent ratios and molecular weights to ensure stable curing and enhanced mechanical properties.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If the mixing ratio of the main agent and the curing agent deviates from the equivalent ratio set to approximately 1, then the curing rate varies greatly and foaming occurs, but tensile properties such as strength at break and elongation at break are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters of the adhesive system by introducing a polyisocyanate compound with specific functional groups (isocyanurate group, cyclic carbodiimide group, or biuret group) and controlling its content within 1-50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of polyol. This parameter adjustment allows the system to maintain stable tensile properties across a broader mixing ratio range while preventing excessive foaming, effectively resolving the contradiction between curing rate and tensile properties.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a composite adhesive system combining polyisocyanate, polyol, and specifically selected polyisocyanate compounds with complementary functional groups. This composite formulation synergistically balances reactivity and mechanical properties, enabling the adhesive to tolerate mixing ratio deviations without significant loss in tensile strength or excessive foaming, thus resolving the contradiction between curing rate and tensile properties.
2Object-generated harmful factors
If the mixing ratio of the main agent and the curing agent deviates from the set value, then foaming occurs, but the strength at break and elongation at break are reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The patent modifies the chemical parameters by incorporating polyisocyanate compounds with specific functional groups (isocyanurate, cyclic carbodiimide, or biuret) at controlled concentrations (1-50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of polyol). This parameter optimization suppresses foaming reactions while preserving tensile strength, resolving the contradiction between foaming control and strength maintenance.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent converts the potentially harmful effect of mixing ratio deviations into a beneficial outcome by using polyisocyanate compounds with specific functional groups that moderate the reaction. These compounds transform the harmful foaming and strength loss into controlled curing with stable mechanical properties, effectively turning the deviation problem into a solution.
3Strength
If the mixing ratio of the main agent and the curing agent deviates from the set value, then the strength at break and elongation at break are reduced, but the mixing ratio flexibility is limited
Solution Approach 1:
The patent changes the chemical composition parameters by adding polyisocyanate compounds with specific functional groups at controlled levels (1-50 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of polyol). This modification enables the adhesive system to maintain excellent elongation at break across a wider mixing ratio range, increasing flexibility while preserving mechanical properties.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a universal adhesive formulation that can tolerate various mixing ratios while maintaining consistent performance. The polyisocyanate compound with specific functional groups serves multiple functions: maintaining elongation at break, suppressing foaming, and enabling mixing ratio flexibility, thus resolving the contradiction between strength and adaptability.
