Abstract:
A pre-adhesive composition is described comprising an acid-functional (meth)acrylate copolymer and an aziridine crosslinking agent, which when crosslinked provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive and pressure-sensitive adhesive articles.
Abstract:
The invention features compositions comprising at least one monomer that comprises a cyclic dithiane moiety attached to a (meth)acryloyl moiety. The composition may optionally contain additional polymerizable compounds, such as ethylenically unsaturated compounds, that are typically used in dental compositions.
Abstract:
A pressure sensitive adhesive composition is described comprising a polyisobutylene polymer having a first functional group and an acrylic polymer having a second functional group present in the acrylic polymer backbone. The first and second functional groups form a hydrogen bond. In some embodiments, the adhesive composition further comprises a crosslinker that covalently crosslinks the second functional group(s) present in the polymer backbone of the acrylic polymer. Also described are adhesive articles, such as a tape, methods of adhesively bonding, and methods of making a pressure sensitive adhesive.
Abstract:
Epoxy reactive liquid modifiers include acrylate functionalized compounds, acrylamide functionalized compounds, oxalic amide functionalized compounds, actoacetoxy functionalized urethanes and acetoacetoxy functionalized polyalkenes. The reactive liquid modifiers are incorporated into epoxy resin compositions comprising a curable epoxy resin, an amine curing agent, and the reactive liquid modifier, wherein the reactive liquid modifier is polymerized to form at least one of an interpenetrating polymer network and a semi-interpenetrating polymer network with the curable epoxy resin.
Abstract:
A two-part structural adhesive composition comprising a curable epoxy resin, an amine curing agent, a toughening agent, and a reactive liquid modifier. The structural adhesive may also include secondary curatives, initiators, reactive diluents and combinations thereof. The structural adhesives may be used to replace or augment conventional joining means such as welds or mechanical fasteners in bonding parts together.
Abstract:
An adhesive composition comprising an emulsion polymer which comprises a (meth)acrylate copolymer and silica nanoparticles is described. The addition of the nanoparticles results in a significant increase in the overlap shear properties of the adhesive while maintaining the peel adhesion.
Abstract:
An absorbent dressing is described which comprises a crosslinked hydrophilic gel absorbent layer comprising a first component polymer comprising a plurality of polymerized monomer units having pendent hydrophilic groups, and pendent Michael donor groups; and a crosslinking agent comprising at least two Michael acceptor groups.
Abstract:
Carbosilane-containing polymers (including oligomers) having the following structural features: greater than one repeat unit; at least four Si-arylene bonds; at least one (meth)acrylate moiety, Si-H moiety, or both; no Si-O bonds; preferably at least four silicon atoms; wherein two silicon atoms are separated by one arylene group in each repeat unit.
Abstract:
Photoiniferters for controlled radical polymerizations are described. The photoiniferters have an azlactone moiety to provide telechelic (co) polymers.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a polarizer is described whereby a pre-polarizing article comprising an oriented, vinylalcohol polymer film layer, and an acid donor layer comprising a thermal acid generator, is exposed to radiant energy at a temperature sufficient to effect a partial dehydration of the vinylalcohol polymer to a vinylalcohol/poly(acetylene) copolymer.
