Peculiarities of the Behavior of Lactam-Containing Complexes in Adhesive Compositions

Lactam-containing molecular complexes consisting of components that affect the viability and adhesive properties of elastomeric adhesives are considered. The advantages of using such complexes as compared with the introduction of their components separately into the adhesive composition are shown. A method is proposed for calculating the energy of formation of a molecular complex, which makes it possible to determine the optimal ratio of components in the complex and will exclude the possibility of the formation of complexes of ε-caprolactam with the adhesive composition components, thus minimizing the number of experiments.
