Anticorrosive protection efficiency of novel tetrafunctional epoxy prepolymer, namely 2,3,4,5-tetraglycidyloxy pentanal (TGP), for mild steel in 1 M HCl medium was assessed through potentiodynamic polarization (PDP), electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), scanning electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), contact angle (CA), adsorption isotherm model, temperature effect and thermodynamic parameters. The synthesized TGP was characterized and confirmed by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The inhibitory efficiencies found at lower concentration of the prepolymer TGP were85% (PDP) and 87.17% (EIS). PDP measurement illustrated that the TGP behaved as a mixed-type inhibitor in the realized solution. SEM and EDS analysis showeda significant decrease in the corrosion of the MS surface in the presence of the inhibitory prepolymer compared with the blank (1 M HCl). Langmuir adsorption isotherm is the most acceptable modelto describe the TGP epoxy prepolymer on the MS area.

Flexible film in display requires multi-functional integration, such as stretchability, flexibility, abrasion resistance, transparency, and shape memory. In this paper, a reasonable design strategy of flexible polyacrylate (PA) film with high transparency, shape memory, excellent abrasion resistance and foldability is presented. The PA films are prepared by free radical polymerization of vinyl-terminated polyurethane (PU) prepolymer as a cross-linking agent and acrylate monomers in ultraviolet (UV) light.

Bisphenol A diglycidyl ether (BADGE) is a pre-polymer of BPA widely used in manufacturing of epoxy resins and plastics; due to its high reactivity, unintended by-products, such as chlorinated and hydrolysed products, can reach the human body. This research integrates multiple approaches such as computational predictions, chromatographic experiments, biological assays, and human biomonitoring studies to comprehensively evaluate the toxicological profiles of the parent compound and its derivatives. In silico predictions were first utilized to estimate the toxicological properties and interactions of BADGE derivatives, providing insights into their bioactivity.

The initial and final stages of the isothermal curing reaction between diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and ethylenediamine were investigated by using Brillouin light scattering spectroscopy. High-frequency acoustic parameters were measured for these stages as a function of the diamine molar fraction, ranging from the pure prepolymer to the pure cross-linker. Significant differences in the concentration dependencies of the mechanical parameters are interpreted in relation to changes in the system's viscoelastic properties.

Structural adhesives are currently applied in the assembly of automobiles, aircraft, and buildings. In particular, epoxy adhesives are widely used due to their excellent mechanical strength and durability. However, cured epoxy resins are typically rigid and inflexible; thus, they have low peel and impact strength.

Article Synopsis
  • * The study explores the impact of a low-viscosity additive (butyl glycidyl ether) on a common epoxy system, finding that with 20% modifier, prepolymer viscosity dropped significantly, while also affecting curing behavior and the final material properties.
  • * Results indicated that adding 20% modifier lowered the peak curing temperature and increased the time to peak by 60%, while slightly reducing glass transition temperature but increasing elastic modulus, suggesting improved processing and material usability.
