摘要:
Disclosed herein are microstructured articles that can be made by molding. The microstructured articles comprise crosslinked unsaturated polymers formed by ring opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) of a monomer composition, the monomer composition comprising a cyclic monomer having at least one reactive double bond. The microstructured articles may be structured in that they comprise at least one microstructured feature having a dimension of less than about 2 mm, or less than about 500 um. The microstructured articles may also comprise a plurality of such microstructured features. Also disclosed herein are methods of making the microstructured articles.

Presently described are curable compositions comprising a mixture of at least one (e.g. free-radically) polymerizable ionic liquid and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer, oligomer, or polymer. The polymerizable ionic liquid is characterized as having an air to nitrogen curing exotherm ratio of at least 0.70. Also described are articles and methods of making articles from such curable compositions. A monofunctional polymerizable ionic liquid is also described comprising a non-polymerizable substituted imidazolium cationic group and a polymerizable sulfonate anion.
摘要:
A method of bonding at least two articles together, the method includes forming a mold, wherein the mold is formed at least in part from the articles; and depositing a curable composition in the mold, wherein the curable composition polymerizes through metathesis polymerization to form a molded polymer joint that bonds the two articles together; and the article formed thereby. An article that includes a first portion; a second portion; and a molded polymer joint, wherein the molded polymer joint bonds the first portion to the second portion, the molded polymer joint has a thickness of at least about 1.3 mm, the molded polymer joint includes a metathesis polymer, and both the first and second portions have different compositions than the molded polymer joint.
摘要:
Methods of joining pipe section and joined pipe assemblies are described. The pipe sections, e.g., pipes and couplers, are joined by a mechanical interference bond formed using a shape memory polymer key. The key can be inserted into a first keyway of one pipe section, the pipes fitted to align first keyway with a second keyway of the second pipe section, and the shape memory polymer activated to at least partially fill both keyways.
