Mechanical properties of adhesive system with a silver nanoparticulate filler: an experimental study

In the present study nanoparticulate silver filler influence on adhesive system mechanical properties has been researched. In the course of laboratory experiments it has been shown that adhesive system mechanical properties are changing in a different manner as soon as silver percentage in adhesive system is increasing. It has been established that 0,5 –1% silver nanoparticle embedding into adhesive system that is enough to make the material X-Ray-sensitive holds its mechanical properties close to the optimum. Thus, the mechanical properties are enhancing in comparison with those of adhesive system without silver nanoparticles. Research findings point to the opportunity to use nanoparticulate silver as a filler while producing X-ray adhesive systems.
