摘要:
The invention is a two part polymerizable composition comprising in one part an organoborane amine complex and one or more compounds containing ring opening heterocyclic moieties, and in a second part, compounds capable of being polymerized by free radical polymerization, a catalyst capable of polymerizing compounds containing ring opening heterocyclic moieties and optionally a component that will decomplex the organoborane amine complex. In one embodiment the invention is a two phase system comprising a first phase containing one or more polymers prepared from the compounds which polymerize by free radical polymerization and a second phase comprising polymerized or partially polymerized compounds derived from one or more compounds containing ring opening heterocyclic moieties. In one embodiment the polymer prepared from compounds containing heterocyclic ring opening moieties is not miscible with the polymer prepared by free radical polymerization and thus the resulting polymerized composition has at least two regions each rich in one of the two polymers formed. In another embodiment the polymerizable compositions of the invention can be formulated into adhesive compositions. Adhesive compositions of the present formulation provide excellent adhesion to low surface energy plastics from room temperature to temperatures over 125° C.

Carbonyl-containing polymer films, such as PET, are selectively metallizedy contacting the films with a layer or film of metal, such as aluminum, and then irradiating selected portions of the surface of the film with infrared radiation thereby heating those selected portions of the film. The metal on or opposite the irradiated portions of the surface adhere to the film. The remaining metal may be readily removed. The process provides surprisingly good spatial resolution. The present process is particularly useful in the production of microcontacts for circuit boards.

An optical data storage medium comprises a substrate layer, a recording medium and an optional protective layer. The substrate layer supports the recording medium. The recording medium comprises a polymer having stable amorphous and crystalline states under human operating conditions which states have different optical properties. The recording medium is optionally covered and protected by a protective layer. The substrate, recording medium and protective layer can be formed from the same or different polymers. The data is stored by exposing the recording medium to patterned infra-red radiation. The radiation can be patterned by a mask, movement of the radiation beam or by other means to imprint the data on the recording medium.

The present invention is a transparent thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) comprising structural units of: a.) a diisocyanate; b.1) a polyester diol and b.2) a specific polyether diol and c.) a chain extender. The TPU has good combinations of light transmission and clarity, tensile strength, low temperature flexibility, and high moisture vapor transition rates compared to other commercial or known TPUs. A preferred example composition is a TPU that is based on MDI as the diisocyanate monomer, polycaprolactone as a polyester diol, an EO capped EO/PO polyether diol containing less than 20% EO, and butanediol as chain extender. These composition have good combinations of clarity, tensile strength, hydrolytic stability and processability compared to TPUs prepared using either polyester or polyether diols alone or the combination with a higher EO polyether diol.

The present invention is a thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or thermoplastic polyurethane/urea (TPUU) comprising structural units of: a) a diisocyanate; b) ethylene glycol, diethylene glycol, or 1,3-propanediol; c) a diol, a diamine, or an amino alcohol different from the one selected in (b) and having a molecular weight of less than 400 Daltons; and (d) ethylene oxide polyol or ethylene oxide-capped propylene oxide polyol. The TPU or TPUU has low temperature flexibility, high moisture vapor transition rates, and is considerably less expensive than state-of-the-art TPUs or TPUUs. The preferred composition is a TPU that is substantially free of phase segregation, and consequently has clarity and tensile strength not known for TPUs prepared using ethylene oxide polyol or ethylene oxide-capped propylene oxide polyol.
