Our research group is working to characterize these biological systems and then taking biomimetic approaches to new materials development. In doing so we have created adhesives with dry strengths exceeding several established products (e.g., ethylcyanoacrylates) and with wet adhesion being, perhaps, the strongest discovered to date. Further advances include adhesives made from renewable resources as well as flexible glues that can enhance bond strengths while exhibiting pressure sensitive properties.

10:45 – 11:15 a.m. Antimicrobial Performance and Durability Challenges for Long-Lived Adhesive & Sealant Formulations Don Satchell, Technical Director, Situ Biosciences LLC Adhesives and Sealants are commonly used in long term building construction applications. These materials are commonly exposed to a variety of environmental conditions such as heat, UV light, and moisture that challenge a formulation’s durability. Furthermore, with the right nutrients and moisture conditions, microorganisms challenge the antimicrobial efficacy of long term product applications. By properly selecting the appropriate antimicrobial and utilizing product testing to evaluate performance and durability, formulations can be created that improve the quality of an application being used and can outperform other long term products on the market.

11:15 – 11:45 a.m. Non-Migratory Surfactants in Emulsion Polymers for High Performance Adhesives Steven Chan, Applications Manager, Croda Surfactants are one of the essential components in emulsion polymers. They provide colloidal stability and control the particle size of the latex. During film formation, adsorbed surfactant is released and causes phase separation and accumulation of surfactant into hydrophilic domains. They adversely affect water resistance, adhesive and mechanical properties. Non-migratory surfactants (NMS) are reactive and become grafted onto the surface of polymer particles during polymerization. The final latex stability is enhanced with positive effects on shelf life, high shear stability and barrier properties. In adhesives, better water whitening/uptake with improved adhesion was observed.

1:45 – 2:15 p.m. Truth or Myth? Do Water-Borne Adhesives Have Difficulties with Water-Resistance? David Schulenberg, Technical Account Manager Southeast Region; Printing, Packaging and Adhesives, BASF Corporation A major share of pressure sensitive adhesives for tapes, labels and films are based on acrylic dispersions. However, when it comes to applications where water resistance is key - e.g. outdoor applications - some reluctance in the market to use waterborne systems can be found. There is an often-heard statement: “What comes out of water will go into water”. Does this statement hold water?Within this presentation a general understanding about the phenomena, which occur in adhesive films under wet conditions, is outlined. Based on these findings, dispersions were designed and compared to state-of-the-art solvent-borne or UVhotmelt acrylics.

Experimental and Finite Element Investigations of Damage Resistance in Biomimetic Composite Sandwich T-Joints Ali Saeid, PhD in Mechanical Engineering, University of Dayton A new methodology for the design and analysis of composite sandwich T-joints using new biomimetic fabrication methods. The fabricated idea comes from biological fixed joints as an evolutionary alteration processes of trunk-branches of trees. The major attention is to investigate the comprehensive failure modes in the joint numerically and verified by experiments. Investigations were conducted on three different designs of biomimetic composite sandwich T-joints under tension and bending loads. The results show significant improvements to the ultimate load up to 68% in the case of bending load and 40% in the case of pull-off load in the biomimetic sandwich T-joints compared to the reference conventional T-joint design. The FE models provided important insights into the core failure and delamination of multi-interface biomimetic T-joints.

10:45 to 11:15 a.m.

Experimentally Calibrating Cohesive Zone Models for Structural Automotive Adhesives Mark Oliver, Engineer, Veryst Engineering The automotive industry is increasingly relying upon adhesively bonded structures to reach lightweighting targets. The crashworthiness of these structures is initially assessed using finite element simulations in which engineers typically describe the rate-dependent deformation and failure of the adhesive using cohesive zone models (CZM). Having an accurate cohesive zone model that can capture the high-rate behavior of the adhesive is critically important to the successful design of crashworthy bonded structures. This talk will focus on what those in the adhesives industry need to know about cohesive zone modeling and how to best conduct experiments to enable measurement and calibration of model parameters that can be used as input to finite element simulations.
