Abstract:
An air drying waterborne resin composition is disclosed. Said resin composition comprises at least one amphiphilic air drying dendritic polymer, at least one non-amphiphilic air drying alkyd resin, at least one drier initiating and/or promoting autoxidation, and water, and optionally at least one anionic and/or nonionic surfactant, and/or at least one coalescent agent.

Abstract:
Primers for cyanoacrylate adhesives which are based on compounds having multiple amine groups thereon ("multi-amines") which have at least three secondary or tertiary amine groups, at least one of which is a tertiary amine group. The multi-amine compounds are characterized by having thereon at least three terminal and/or pendant aliphatic hydrocarbon groups of at least 4 carbon atoms in length. Such primers give substantially improved bond strengths to cyanoacrlylate adhesive bonded assemblies comprising a polyolefin substrate such as high density polyethylene, LDPE or polypropylene. The multi-amine may have a cascade, dendrimer, hyperbranched or comb-like structure.
Abstract:
Provided are methods of making a hyperbranched star polymer, the method comprising: (a) obtaining a core comprising a polyol; (b) optionally extending the core with one or more chain extenders to form an extended intermediate; (c) reacting the core or the extended intermediate with a compound that comprises unsaturated free radical reaction sites to form the hyperbranched star polymer, the compound being selected from the group consisting of: an anhydride comprising one or more unsaturated groups, an epoxide comprising one or more unsaturated groups, and combinations thereof; wherein the hyperbranched star polymer is radiation-curable. Also provided are coatings comprising such hyperbranched star polymers.
Abstract:
The properties of a thermoformed polymeric article are modified by incorporation of an additive in a thermoplastic/thermoplastic elastic host matrix. The additive comprises a polydispersed hyperbranched polymer (HBP) or a branched monodispersed dendritic polymer (DP). The HBP or DP is linked to a plurality of oligomer chains. The additive migrates to the surface of the article during the thermoforming process.
Abstract:
The invention relates to the field of antimicrobial materials, in particular to implantable and other medical devices exhibiting antimicrobial activity. Provided is a method for providing a substrate with an antimicrobial coating by immobilizing a quaternary ammonium compound onto the surface of said substrate, comprising the polycondensation of AB 2 monomers comprising a secondary amine as A-group and blocked isocyanates as B-groups to obtain a low number average molecular weight polyurea of at least 2500 Da, contacting said polyurea with a surface grafted with coupling agent to covalently anchor the polyurea, and continuing polycondensation to obtain a hyperbranched polyurea coating; followed by immobilizing onto said coating a hydrophobic N-alkylated polyethylenimine (PEI) having antimicrobial properties.
