A material comprising at least about 10% by weight polyvinyl butyral, a thermoplastic epoxy, wherein the ratio of polyvinyl butyral to thermoplastic epoxy is about 1 to 10 to about 1 to 4, and at least 2% but less than 15% by weight adducted carboxyl-terminated polymer, wherein the material has a strain to failure of greater than 2% and a modulus of at least 700 MPa.

High elastic modulus structural foam materials with improved strain to failure

A material comprising an epoxy/elastomer adduct, a polymeric particle, from about 0.05 to about 20 weight percent of an epoxy/diacid adduct, and optionally, an amine reaction product.

Structural bonding adhesive

A device comprising an adhesive material and a fiberglass mesh located in direct planar contact with the adhesive material. The adhesive material is tacky in its green state and includes an epoxy, an epoxidized cashew nut shell oil, and at least about 20% by weight of a component containing a core shell polymer material to improve the adhesion capability to surfaces that are contaminated and/or exposed to high pressure spraying or chemical treatments, heat and humidity.

Epoxy patch having improved adhesion characteristics

A device and method for the protection of a first member and second member from corrosion by utilizing a connector that bonds the members without allowing direct contact of the members.

Panel connector devices

A polymeric material comprising from about 5% to about 60% of a Diels-Alder additive, wherein the additive crosslinks at a temperature below 100&#xb0; C., an adhesive or sealant component, wherein the viscosity of the adhesive or sealant is reduced by at least about 5%, at least about 30%, at least about 80%, or even at least about 100% when combined with the Diels-Alder additive.

Reversible networks in polymeric materials

A device () comprising a carrier material () and a matrix material () deposited onto the carrier material in a pattern that leaves a predetermined amount of space () between each deposition of matrix material.

Localized panel stiffener

A panel assembly and method of making the same, whereby the panel assembly includes an adhesive located onto one or more edges of a layered honeycomb structure and a mesh material adhered in between the layered honeycomb structure by the adhesive.

Acoustic core

An expandable material is shaped to form a part that can provide functional attributes such as reinforcement to a structure of article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle.

Shaped expandable material

The present invention relates to methods, materials, and products for forming a foamed product, comprising the steps of combining an epoxy-based component with an amine-based component. The epoxy component is cross-linked through a polymerization reaction catalyzed by the amine formulation. In this regard, an reactive mixture or exothermic reaction is created between the epoxy component and the amine component when combined. The heat generated by the exothermic reaction softens a thermoplastic shell of a blowing agent formulated within the epoxy component thereby enabling a solvent core within the thermoplastic shell of the blowing agent to expand from the heat generated by the exothermic or reactive mixture.

Two component (epoxy/amine) structural foam-in-place material

There is disclosed a system and method of employing a porous container for sealing, baffling, reinforcing or a combination thereof. According to the method, a porous container having one or more openings is provided. An expandable material is associated with the container and is preferably placed within the container. Thereafter, the expandable material is expanded to contact and adhere to a structure of an article of manufacture (e.g., an automotive vehicle).

System and method employing a porous container for sealing, baffling or reinforcing

An activatable material and articles incorporating the same is disclosed. The activatable material includes at least two of epoxy resin; impact modifier; blowing agent; curing agent; and filler. The activatable material is preferably used for sealing, baffling, adhering or reinforcing an article of manufacture such as an automotive vehicle.
