The Effect of γ-Aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS) on the Adhesion ofEpoxy Resin to Carbon Steel Surfaces

This study investigates the use of γ-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (γ-APS) as an adhesion promoter forepoxy resin on carbon steel surfaces. Triethylenetetramine (TETA) was used as a curing agent for theepoxy resin. Adhesion was evaluated using the pull-off test, which measures the force required todetach the resin from the carbon steel surface. The results showed that the addition of γ-APSsignificantly increased the adhesion of the epoxy resin to the carbon steel surfaces. These findingssuggest that the use of γ-APS as an adhesion promoter, along with TETA as a curing agent, cansignificantly improve the adhesion properties of epoxy resin coatings on carbon steel surfaces,making them suitable for applications requiring strong adhesive properties
