Application

  • Viscoelasticity in Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives: This study examines the influence of crosslink density and linear viscoelasticity on the shear failure of adhesives, showcasing Aluminium acetylacetonate′s role in enhancing the performance and durability of industrial adhesives (Arrowood et al., 2023).
  • Heat Stabilizer in PVC: Discusses the preparation of magnesium-aluminum hydrotalcite using a mechanochemical method facilitated by Aluminium acetylacetonate, and its application as a heat stabilizer in poly(vinyl chloride), highlighting its importance in improving the thermal stability of polymers (Jiang et al., 2020).
