Abstract:
Disclosed is a method for making nongelled addition polymers, especially carbamate functional additional polymers from linear unsaturated anhydrides. The method comprises reacting an unsaturated linear anhydride with an active hydrogen compound to provide two monomers comprising polymerizable C═C bonds, at least one of said monomers comprising an acid functional group; polymerizing the polymerizable C═C bonds of the two monomers to provide an acid functional polymerization product; and reacting the acid functional polymerization product with an epoxy functional compound to provide a nongelled addition polymer, wherein the disclosed method does not include a step comprising the physical removal of any acid functional monomers or polymerization products. Also disclosed is a curable coating composition containing the resulting carbamate functional polymer, as well as a coated substrate comprising a cured film resulting from the application and curing of the disclosed curable coating composition.
Abstract:
An amine-functional copolymer improved in color and odor, and a method for efficiently producing the amine-functional copolymer in the form of a powder by efficiently hydrolyzing a vinyl alcohol/N-vinyl carboxamide, are provided.

Abstract:
The present invention proposes highly practical curable resin compositions for use in water based paints, which contain no, or much less organic solvent when compared with current organic solvent based paints, and which produce painted surfaces which have excellent curability and weather resistant properties, as well as excellent resistance to solvents, chemicals and water. These curable resin compositions include a compound combining both epoxy and hydrolyzable silyl groups, and a water based product obtained by dispersing or dissolving in water, a tertiary amino vinyl polymer, a vinyl polymer containing both tertiary amino and acidic groups, or an acidic vinyl polymer, which has been either partially or completely neutralized by an acidic or basic compound.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to biostatic compositions, as well as coatings and methods for preparing biostatic articles using the same. The compositions contain a hydrophilic polymer possessing a functional group which covalently bonds to an amine, thiol, carboxyl, or hydroxyl active group of an antimicrobial agent. The functional group is capable of reacting with and covalently bonding to an antimicrobial agent without effectively reducing antimicrobial property of the antimicrobial agent below its capability of acting as a biostatic agent and without releasing the antimicrobial agent into a solution.
