Abstract:
A method of recycling a plastic includes decomposing the plastic in the presence of a catalyst to form hydrocarbons. The catalyst includes a porous support having an exterior surface and defining at least one pore therein. The catalyst also includes a depolymerization catalyst component disposed on the exterior surface of the porous support for depolymerizing the plastic. The depolymerization catalyst component includes a Ziegler-Natta catalyst, a Group IIA oxide catalyst, or a combination thereof. The catalyst further includes a reducing catalyst component disposed in the at least one pore.

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:
The present invention provides a crosslinker for organic coatings having an amino resin core with substituents including more than one olefin functional group, a silicon-containing group, and at least one alkoxyalkyl or alkylol group. Coating compositions containing the crosslinker can be cured with radiation, especially ultraviolet radiation. The crosslinker can be included in a coating composition with one or more curable resins, applied onto a substrate and cured to form the cured coating of the invention.
Abstract:
An acrylic composition includes the reaction product of an acrylic polymer and carbon dioxide. The acrylic polymer includes the reaction product of a functionalized monomer, a first compound reactive with the functionalized monomer to form a functionalized intermediate, and a highly branched, polyfunctional core molecule reactive with the functionalized intermediate. The first compound includes vinyl functionality reactive with the functionalized monomer. The first compound also includes epoxy functionality. The carbon dioxide is reactive with the acrylic polymer to form a carbonate-functional acrylic polymer. The acrylic composition is highly-branched and, when used in coating compositions in combination with a suitable cross-linking agent, enhances recoat adhesion and produces cured films that have optimum scratch, mar, and chip performance, and acid etch resistance.
Abstract:
A coating composition including a copolymerization product of a mixture of monomers including one or more carbamate-functional monomers and (meth)acrylic monomers, some having carboxylic acid-functionality. The monomer mixture is essentially free of hydroxyl monomers. The coating composition may be a solvent-borne clearcoat coating composition, preferably an automotive clearcoat coating composition, that may be applied over a water-borne basecoat coating composition.
Abstract:
A polyester polycarbamate resin composition for use in coating compositions to produce films having improved scratch and mar characteristics. The resin composition is the reaction product of a first compound having a plurality of hydroxyl groups with a carbamate compound reactive with the hydroxyl groups of the first compound and added in an amount sufficient to form a carbamated intermediary. The carbamated intermediary has at least one primary carbamate group available for cross-linking and has unreacted hydroxyl groups. Then, a silyl compound having a terminal isocyanate group is reacted with the unreacted hydroxyl groups of the carbamated intermediary. The silyl compound also has silylalkoxy groups available for secondary cross-linking. The present invention is also directed to a method of preparing the resin composition.
