Described is a polymerizable polymer composition compri a) a copolymerizable macromer; b) a (meth)acrylate ester monomer; and c) a polyfunctional type I photoinitiator.
Abstract:
Adhesive compositions and methods of preparing an adhesive composition are described. The method comprises providing a syrup composition comprising a free-radically polymerizable solvent monomer and a solute (meth)acrylic copolymer, and radiation curing the syrup composition in the absence of an ionic photoacid generator. The solute (meth)acrylic copolymer comprises epoxy-functional groups, acid-functional groups, or a combination thereof. In some embodiments, an epoxy resin having on average greater than one polymerizable epoxy group per molecule or an acid comprising at least two carboxylic acid groups is utilized. The epoxy-functional groups and acid-functional groups of the (meth)acrylic copolymer or the adhesive composition can readily crosslink in the absence of an ionic photoacid generator (PAG).
Abstract:
The disclosure describes a curable composition comprising a first oligomer having a plurality of polymerizable groups; a second component comprising alkylene oxide repeat units and terminal polymerizable groups, a solvent monomer component; and a photoinitiator. The curable composition may be used as an adhesive in optical applications.
Abstract:
Addition-fragmentation agents of the formula are disclosed having the following functional groups: 1) a labile addition-fragmentation group that can cleave and reform to relieve strain, 2) at least two surface-binding functional groups that associate with the surface of a substrate.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides an ionically crosslinkable composition comprising a (meth)acrylate copolymer component having pendant acid functional groups and pendant photobase functional groups. On exposure to light, the pendant photobase group photolyzes to provide a pendant amine group, that ionically crosslinks the copolymer.
Abstract:
Presently described are curable dental compositions comprising a polymerizable ionic liquid. The polymerizable ionic liquid comprises one or more ethylenically unsaturated (e.g. free-radically polymerizable) groups. Various embodiments of curable dental compositions are described. In some embodiments, the polymerizable ionic liquid is a monofunctional polymerizable ionic liquid comprising an ethylenically unsaturated group. In other embodiments, the polymerizable ionic liquid is a multifunctional polymerizable ionic liquid comprising at least two ethylenically unsaturated groups. The curable dental compositions describe herein can be utilized as dental primers, dental adhesives, dental sealants, and dental composites. In many embodiments, the curable dental compositions further comprise an initiator such as a photoinitiator.
Abstract:
A Addition-fragmentation oligomers containing allylic disulfide groups are described. The oligomers may be added to polymerizable compositions to provide labile crosslinks that can cleave and reform during the polymerization process.
Abstract:
A pre-adhesive composition is described comprising an epoxy-functional (meth)acryloyl copolymer and epoxy resin, which when crosslinked using an ionic photoacid generator (PAG) provides a pressure-sensitive adhesive and pressure-sensitive adhesive articles having desirable properties.
