Service Properties of the Thermoplastic Polymer Materials Used for Repairing Road-Building Machines

Resumo

The service properties of thermoplastic materials (molten adhesives) are studied to estimate the possibility of their application for repairing road-building machines. The swelling resistance of molten adhesives in working media, namely, water, motor oil, and antifreeze, is investigated. Dynamomechanical analysis is used to analyze the deformation properties of the molten adhesives. The adhesion strengths of the epoxy adhesives traditionally used in repairing machines and the thermoplastic molten adhesives are compared.
