Abstract:
Processes are provided for producing novel (meth)acrylic esters of poly(trimethylene ether) glycol. The processes include reacting poly(trimethylene ether) glycol with (meth)acrylic acid or equivalents thereof.
Abstract:
Processes and products utilizing (meth)acrylic esters of poly(trimethylene ether) glycol are provided. Products that can be made include ceramic materials, personal care products, inks, coatings, fabrics, and other articles that can be made from reaction products of (meth)acrylic ester of poly(trimethylene ether) glycol with certain monomers.
Abstract:
Disclosed are condensed tannin-based foams comprising a formaldehyde-free polymeric phase defining a plurality of open cells and a plurality of closed cells, wherein the formaldehyde-free polymeric phase comprises an acid catalyzed tannin-based resin derived from a surface-active condensed tannin, a formaldehyde-free tannin-reactive monomer, a saturated or an unsaturated organic anhydride, a polyamine, an ethoxylated castor oil, and an optional plasticizer. Also disclosed are mixed tannin-phenolic foams and methods of making thereof.
