An epoxy resin copolymer with zero shrinkage

TLDR
This epoxy resin copolymer with zero shrinkage has been used as an adhesive to join the optical parts of a large optical telescope.
Abstract
Epoxy resin copolymer with zero shrinkage can be obtained by copolymerizing epoxy resin E51 with the expanding monomer of 3,9-di(5-norbornene-2,2)-1,5,7,11 -tetraoxaspiro[5,5]undecane (NSOC). The volume changes of an epoxy resin copolymerized with various amounts of NSOC during cure was measured with a dilatometer. The epoxy copolymer giving zero shrinkage was an epoxy resin with a E51:NSOC ratio equivalent to 5.88∶1. This epoxy resin copolymer with zero shrinkage has been used as an adhesive to join the optical parts of a large optical telescope.

Reduction of residual stress in montmorillonite/epoxy compounds

TL;DR: In this article, an epoxy resin was cured while in intimate contact with small amounts of epoxy-pharmic montmorillonites, and it was determined that cured epoxy exists within the Montmorillonite interlayer by the observation of very high interlayer spacings, even greater than 8 nm.

Study on the volumetric expansion of benzoxazine curing with different catalysts

TL;DR: In this article, a systematic investigation on the volumetric expansion of four benzoxazine systems, which are benzoxazines, benoxazine/tertiary amine and organic acid, was done by using gravitometric and dilatometric methods.

Chemical shrinkage characterization techniques for thermoset resins and associated composites

TL;DR: In this paper, all the techniques used in the literature for the characterization of Sh of resin and composite are reported briefly with their respective advantages, disadvantage and important results, which later on has been used to find tensor of Sh for the simulation of residual stresses and shape distortion of composite part, etc.

Epoxy chemistry for electrical insulation

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examine some of the changes that have occurred in epoxy resins and their chemistry and explore the effect of these changes on electrical insulation and present the chemistry in a fashion that will aid insulation designers in compiling their systems and manufacturing processes and will provide enough understanding that some direction can suggest itself to those charged with making electrical products.

Dental Resins with Reduced Shrinkage During Hardening

TL;DR: Unsaturated spiro-orthocarbonates are monomers that expand on polymerization and will co-polymerize with conventional BIS-GMA based resins andersion of the carbonate in microcrystalline form in liquid monomer appears to be a method to allow its reaction in the initial polymerization.
