Definitions
- This invention relates to methods for surfacing polymeric composite articles and for joining (for example, by bonding or by co-curing) such articles and various substrates.
- this invention also relates to surfaced structures and joined structures prepared thereby.
- Adhesives have been used in many structural applications including use in constructing vehicles, computer cases, buildings, appliances, and the like.
- structural adhesives have been used in vehicle assembly (for example, automobile and aircraft assembly) to replace or augment conventional joining techniques such as welds, nuts and bolts, and rivets.
- Epoxide resins are monomers or pre-polymers that react with curing agents to yield high performance cured resins.
- the cured resins exhibit numerous desirable chemical and physical characteristics (for example, thermal and chemical resistance, adhesion retention, low shrinkage, abrasion resistance, and high dielectric strength) and are widely utilized (for example, in the construction and electronics industries) as protective coatings for electrical insulation, as composite matrix resins, and as structural adhesives.
- the cured epoxy resins have a relatively high glass transition temperature (T g ), so as to be strong at relatively high temperatures.
- T g glass transition temperature
- a common method of increasing the glass transition temperature has been by introducing a high degree of crosslinking.
- Cured resins having a high crosslink density have had shortcomings, however.
- such resins have typically been very brittle (that is, not very tough or ductile).
- the cured resins In addition to exhibiting brittleness problems, the cured resins have sometimes exhibited undesirable moisture uptake characteristics (especially when a high concentration of polar groups has been utilized), resulting in reduced structural adhesive performance.
- the present invention provides a method for surfacing a polymeric composite article (for example, to reduce or eliminate surface imperfections and provide a more paintable surface) and/or for joining (for example, by bonding or by co-curing) the article and an adherend (for example, a second polymeric composite article).
- the method comprises
- thermosetting compositions comprising certain types of particulate modifiers can be used as surfacing materials and/or to form high performance joints between polymeric composite parts and various adherends (including, for example, other cured or curable polymeric composite parts).
- adherends including, for example, other cured or curable polymeric composite parts.
- such compositions exhibit an ability to resist the negative effects of prebond humidity (including, for example, the negative effects of the moisture content of the article at the time of surfacing or joining).
- Such negative effects can include a reduction in cohesive strength (for example, due to a lowering of glass transition temperature (T g )), a reduction in cure rate, and/or a reduction in toughness (for example, due to morphology changes).
- T g glass transition temperature
- toughness for example, due to morphology changes.
- the compositions can show significantly improved retention of performance characteristics without the need for prebond conditioning (for example, drying).
- At least some embodiments of the method of the invention meet the above-stated need in the art for joining methods that can provide high performance joints, even in the presence of significant prebond humidity.
- the ability to provide such joints can enable reliable and consistent parts manufacture and can reduce the costly need for restrictive temperature and humidity control of preformed parts (and part assembly areas) in aircraft assembly.
- this invention also provides a surfaced or joined structure comprising
- cure means to effect polymerization and/or to effect crosslinking (as evidenced, for example, by a change in density, viscosity, modulus, color, pH, refractive index, or other physical or chemical property);
- curable in reference to the joining of a polymeric composite article and an adherend by using a curable composition means to simultaneously effect at least partial cure of the curable composition and at least partial cure of the article and/or the adherend;
- “bond” in reference to the joining of a polymeric composite article and an adherend by using a curable composition means to join by a technique other than co-curing;
- cured means that a sufficient number of the primary polymerizable or crosslinkable functional groups of a thermosetting resin (for example, the epoxide groups of an epoxide resin) have been consumed through chemical reaction to enable the resin to function for its intended purpose;
- thermosetting resin in reference to a particulate modifier as a component of a curable composition comprising thermosetting resin means formed prior to initiation of the curing of the thermosetting resin as discrete particles that substantially maintain their discreteness during and after curing;
- substantially non-functional in reference to a particulate modifier as a component of a curable composition comprising thermosetting resin means bearing essentially no functional groups that are capable of both (1) contact and (2) chemical reaction with the thermosetting resin.
- Polymeric composite articles also sometimes called composite parts
- articles that comprise reinforcing fibers (for example, carbon or glass) embedded in an organic resin matrix (for example, comprising a thermosetting resin that can be cured to form a glassy network polymer).
- Polymeric composite articles can be as simple as one or more layers of curable (that is, uncured or partially cured) resin-impregnated fiber or fabric (such single- or multi-layer structures being termed “prepreg”), or they can be as complex as sandwich constructions comprising a metallic or non-metallic honeycomb core and prepreg or cured prepreg.
- Articles typically used in structural applications include composite stringers, composite skin, and the like, which can be used to construct flaps, alirons, radomes, horizontal or vertical stabilizers, wings, and other portions of aircraft.
- thermosetting resins for use in making composite articles include, for example, epoxide resins, curable imide resins (especially maleimide resins, but also including, for example, commercial K-3 polyimides (available from duPont) and polyimides having a terminal reactive group such as acetylene, diacetylene, phenylethynyl, norbornene, nadimide, or benzocyclobutane), vinyl ester resins and acrylic resins (for example, (meth)acrylic esters or amides of polyols, epoxides, and amines), bisbenzocyclobutane resins, cyanate ester resins, phenolic resins (including nitrile phenolics), and the like, and mixtures thereof.
- curable imide resins especially maleimide resins, but also including, for example, commercial K-3 polyimides (available from duPont) and polyimides having a terminal reactive group such as acetylene, diace
- the resins can be utilized in the form of either monomers or prepolymers.
- Thermoplastic resins for example, polysulfones, poly(ether-ether-ketone) (PEEK), polyphenylene sulfide, polyamides, polyethersulfone, polyetherimides, polycarbonates, and the like, and mixtures thereof
- PEEK poly(ether-ether-ketone)
- polyphenylene sulfide polyamides
- polyethersulfone polyetherimides
- polycarbonates and the like, and mixtures thereof
- Preferred resins include thermosetting resins (more preferably, epoxide resins, maleimide resins, cyanate ester resins, and the like, and mixtures thereof). Epoxide resins are most preferred due to their processing characteristics, high temperature properties, and environmental resistance.
- Suitable reinforcing fibers for use in preparing composite articles include both organic and inorganic fibers (for example, carbon or graphite fibers, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, boron fibers, silicon carbide fibers, cellulose fibers, polyimide fibers, polyamide fibers, polyethylene fibers, and the like, and combinations thereof). Fibers of carbon, glass, or polyamide can be preferred due to considerations of cost, physical properties, and processability. Such fibers can be in the form of, for example, a unidirectional array of individual continuous fibers, woven fabric, knitted fabric, yarn, roving, braided constructions, or non-woven mat. Generally, the compositions can contain, for example, from about 30 to about 80 (preferably, from about 45 to about 70) volume percent fibers, depending upon structural application requirements.
- organic and inorganic fibers for example, carbon or graphite fibers, glass fibers, ceramic fibers, boron fibers, silicon carbide fibers, cellulose fibers, polyimide fibers, poly
- Useful fiber-containing resin compositions can further comprise additives such as curing agents, cure accelerators, catalysts, crosslinking agents, dyes, flame retardants, pigments, impact modifiers (for example, rubbers or thermoplastics), flow control agents, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
- additives such as curing agents, cure accelerators, catalysts, crosslinking agents, dyes, flame retardants, pigments, impact modifiers (for example, rubbers or thermoplastics), flow control agents, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
- Composite articles can be made by a variety of conventional processes including, for example, resin transfer molding, filament winding, tow placement, resin infusion processes, and traditional prepreg processes.
- Prepregs can be prepared by impregnating an array of fibers (or a fabric) with a resin (or with a blend or solution of resin in volatile organic liquid) and then layering the impregnated tape or fabric. The resulting prepreg can then be cured by application of heat, along with the application of pressure or vacuum (or both) to remove any trapped air.
- Composite parts can also be made by a resin transfer molding process, which is widely used to prepare composite parts for the aerospace and automotive industries.
- fibers can first be shaped into a preform that can then be compressed to final part shape in a metal mold.
- the resin can then be pumped into the mold and heat-cured.
- a low resin viscosity can facilitate this process in that such a resin can flow through the compressed preform in a short amount of time, without preform distortion.
- a filament winding process is typically used to prepare cylinders or other composites having a circular or oval cross-sectional shape.
- a fiber tow or an array of tows can be impregnated with resin by running it through a resin bath (preferably, containing a low viscosity resin) and immediately winding the impregnated tow onto a mandrel.
- the resulting composite can then be heat-cured.
- a pultrusion process (a continuous process used to prepare constant cross-section parts) can also be used to make composites.
- a large array of continuous fibers can first be wetted out in a resin bath (preferably, containing a low viscosity resin). The resulting wet array can then be pulled through a heated die, where trapped air can be squeezed out and the resin cured.
- Resins suitable for use in preparing the curable composition of the method of the invention include thermosetting resins. Such resins can be cured by exposure to heat or radiation to form a glassy network polymer.
- Suitable resins include, for example, epoxide resins, curable imide resins (especially maleimide resins, but also including, for example, commercial K-3 polyimides (available from duPont) and polyimides having a terminal reactive group such as acetylene, diacetylene, phenylethynyl, norbornene, nadimide, or benzocyclobutane), vinyl ester resins and acrylic resins (for example, (meth)acrylic esters or amides of polyols, epoxides, and amines), bisbenzocyclobutane resins, cyanate ester resins, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
- the resins can be utilized in the form of either monomers or prepolymers.
- Preferred resins include epoxide resins, maleimide resins, cyanate ester resins, and the like, and mixtures thereof. Epoxide resins are especially preferred due to their processing characteristics, high temperature properties, and environmental resistance.
- Epoxide resins are well-known in the art and comprise compounds or mixtures of compounds that contain one or more epoxide groups of the structure
- the compounds can be saturated or unsaturated, aliphatic, alicylic, aromatic, or heterocyclic, or can comprise combinations thereof.
- Compounds that contain more than one epoxide group that is, polyepoxides are preferred.
- Polyepoxides that can be utilized in the curable composition of the method of the invention include, for example, both aliphatic and aromatic polyepoxides, but aromatic polyepoxides are preferred for high temperature applications.
- the aromatic polyepoxides are compounds containing at least one aromatic ring structure (for example, a benzene ring) and more than one epoxide group.
- Preferred aromatic polyepoxides include the polyglycidyl ethers of polyhydric phenols (for example, bisphenol A derivative resins, epoxy cresol-novolac resins, bisphenol F derivative resins, epoxy phenol-novolac resins), glycidyl esters of aromatic carboxylic acids, glycidyl amines of aromatic amines, and the like, and mixtures thereof.
- the most preferred aromatic polyepoxides are the polyglycidyl ethers of polyhydric phenols.
- Suitable epoxide resins can be prepared by, for example, the reaction of epichlorohydrin with a polyol, as described, for example, in U.S. Pat. No. 4,522,958 (Das et al.), the description of which is incorporated herein by reference, as well as by other methods described by Lee and Neville and by May, supra. Many epoxide resins are also commercially available.
- Maleimide resins suitable for use in the curable composition of the method of the invention include bismaleimides, polymaleimides, and polyaminobismaleimides. Such maleimides can be conveniently synthesized by combining maleic anhydride or substituted maleic anhydrides with di- or polyamine(s).

- An aluminum panel surface was polished with fine steel wool, cleaned with methyl ethyl ketone (MEK), then polished with a lint-free cloth (KimwipesTM EX-L, available from Kimberly-Clark Corporation, Rosswell, Ga.).
- a gray fluoropolymer film, having both surfaces etched, was provided by coextruding a uniform mixture of pellets having 97 percent (by weight) clear DYNEONTM THV 500 (a tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene-vinylidene fluoride terpolymer, available from Dyneon (a wholly owned subsidiary of 3M Company), Oakdale, Minn.) and 3 percent (by weight) of gray pigmented DYNEONTM THV 200 as described in U.S. Pat. No. 6,475,616 (Dietz et al.), Example 1.
- a solvent-based acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive was applied to one side of the fluoropolymer film and dried to give a 0.0003 inch (about 0.008 millimeters) thick adhesive layer.
- an aluminum mesh Part No. 1.5AL6-075F, having areal weight of 0.0075 pounds/square foot (36.6 grams/square meter) and an overall thickness of 0.0015 inches (0.038 millimeters), available from Dexmet Corporation, Naugatuck, Conn.
- a second layer of the solvent-based acrylic pressure sensitive adhesive was applied on top of the aluminum mesh and dried to give a fluoropolymer film having a pressure sensitive acrylic adhesive layer with an embedded aluminum mesh on one side.
- the total adhesive layer thickness, including the mesh was about 0.003 inches (0.08 millimeters).
- a low density polyethylene (LDPE) protective liner was placed over the adhesive layer.
- LDPE low density polyethylene
- the resulting coated fluoropolymer film was positioned on the aluminum panel with the protective liner layer facing outward.
- the protective liner was removed to expose the acrylic adhesive surface, and the first protective liner from one side of a 350° F. (177°) curable, nylon fabric-supported adhesive film was removed to expose one surface of the curable adhesive film.
- the two exposed surfaces were brought into contact with each other and the combined structure was rubbed down by hand to remove any wrinkles and ensure intimate contact between the acrylic adhesive layer and the curable adhesive film.
- the second protective liner was removed from the top side of the curable, nylon fabric-supported adhesive film and, after removal of their respective protective liners, two plies of fiberglass prepreg material (Part No.
- PP500H available from Critical Materials Incoporated, Poulsbo, Wash.
- a second sheet of curable, nylon fabric-supported adhesive film was provided and, after removal of the protective liner from one side of it, the exposed surface of this second sheet was applied by hand to the second outer, exposed surface of prepreg material and rubbed down by hand as described above.
- the exposed surface of the adhesive film was brought into contact with a glass fabric reinforced honeycomb structure impregnated with phenolic resin (HexWebTM HRP-3/16-8.0, available from Hexcel Corporation, Stamford, Conn.).
- Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples (CE) 1-9 in Tables 1, 3, and 4 below demonstrate the effect of various toughening modifiers in joining environmentally conditioned cured polymeric composite articles together to provide cured joined structures.
- the amounts are given in parts by weight (pbw), wherein the combined amounts of all components is between 99 and 102 pbw.
- Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 were prepared as described in “Preparation of Cured Joined Structures” above using a 250° F. (121° C.) cure cycle and then evaluated at 200° F. (93° C.) for overlap shear strength (OLS).
- Examples 2 and 3, and Comparative Examples 2-9 were prepared as described in “Preparation of Cured Joined Structures” above using a 350° F. (177° C.) cure cycle and then evaluated at 277° F. (136° C.) for overlap shear strength.
- TABLE 1 Formulations Component Ex. 1 Ex. 2 Ex.
- Cured polymeric composite articles were provided in the two ways described previously. After environmental conditioning, they were evaluated as described in the test method “Weight Loss.” The designations “Dry”, “Ambient” and “Wet” in the tables refer to the environmental conditions to which the cured polymeric composite articles were exposed. The results are shown in Table 2 below. TABLE 2 Cured Polymeric % Weight Loss Composite Article Dry Ambient Wet Source 1 0.377 Not Determined 1.334 Source 2 0.267 0.508 1.101 Average 0.322 0.508 1.218
- Adhesive films were used to prepare cured composite articles having a cured surfacing layer thereon, which were then evaluated for general appearance and pin holes, all as described in “Cured Composite Article with a Surfacing Layer” above. The results are shown in Table 5 below.
- AF-325 (CE 11) is an epoxy adhesive film sold specifically as a composite surfacing film.
- AF-191 (CE 10) is a commercially available adhesive film often used for this same purpose.
- Example 2 The adhesive film of Example 2 above was used to prepare a cured composite article having an embedded aluminum mesh therein. Such a construction has utility as a means of providing lightning strike protection.
- the article was prepared as described in “Cured Composite Article with Lightning Protection” above.
- the resulting cured composite article had a surface that was essentially smooth and had no visible defects, such as pinholes.
