Both the ambient temperature and the temperature of the concrete affect the epoxy’s rate of reaction and degree of cure. If the coating is applied in cooler temperatures, the epoxy may appear ...

The study, led by Prof. Li Chen, introduces a phosphorus-containing anhydride into the epoxy resin's composition, which is cured using an anhydride-epoxy curing equilibrium with triethanolamine as ...

The research team attributes these performance enhancements to the Diels-Alder reaction of the latent curing agent and the catalytic properties of MXene. This innovative one-component epoxy shows ...
