The Mechanical and Water Absorption Behaviour of Fluoroepoxy Resins

  • Chapter
Adhesives, Sealants, and Coatings for Space and Harsh Environments

Part of the book series: Polymer Science and Technology ((POLS,volume 37))

Abstract

The absorption of water by the organic polymeric materials employed in adhesive and surface coating systems is generally considered harmful. Disadvantageous effects resulting from exposure to warm/moist environments can include plasticization, lowering of glass temperature and disruption of the interfacial region between substrate and organic phase. One approach to alleviate such effects concerns the use of polymers having a high degree of hydrophobicity. In recent years fluorinated epoxy resins have been developed at the Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) offering this capability. This paper briefly discusses the underlying principles of fluoroepoxy resin chemistry followed by a discussion concerning the water absorption characteristics of various NRL developed formulations. An attempt is made to correlate this behavior with changes in formulation variables. The mechanical and fracture properties of the various fluoroepoxy systems are also discussed and compared with properties generally found with non-fluorinated epoxy resins.
