Abstract:
The disclosure describes a curable composition comprising a) a solute (meth)acryloyl oligomer having a plurality of pendent, ethylenically unsaturated, free-radically polymerizable functional groups and nucleophilic, hydrophilic groups, a Mw of 5 k to 30 k, a Tg
Abstract:
A pressure-sensitive adhesive composition comprises a polyvinyl ether polymer. The polyvinyl ether polymer comprises 2-alkylalkoxyethylene monomeric units independently represented by the formula wherein R1 and R2 represent alkyl groups, and wherein taken together R1 and R2 have from 8 to 30 carbon atoms. An adhesive article comprises a layer of the pressure-sensitive adhesive composition on a substrate.
Abstract:
Compositions are described that are blends of a grafted copolymer and a polyamide. Methods of making the blended compositions are also described. The grafted copolymers are the reaction product of (1) a first compound having both an aziridinyl group and a polymeric group with (2) a second polymeric material having an acidic group. Blending the grafted copolymer with the polyamide can be used, for example, to increase the cohesive strength of the grafted copolymer.
Abstract:
Pressure sensitive adhesives having flame retarding properties include a (meth)acrylate-based block copolymer, and at least 10% by weight of a halogen-free flame retarding agent. The adhesives may contain additional optional additives such as tackifying resins, plasticizers, and the like. The adhesives are prepared by blending the (meth)acrylate-based block copolymer, and the halogen-free flame retarding agent either in solvent or by a solventless process.
Abstract:
Pressure sensitive adhesive tapes having flame retarding properties include a backing and a pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The pressure sensitive adhesive layer includes a (meth)acrylate-based block copolymer, and may also include at least 10% by weight of a halogen-free flame retarding agent. The adhesive layer may contain additional optional additives such as tackifying resins, plasticizers, and the like. The tapes are prepared by coating the flame retarding pressure sensitive adhesive onto the backing, either in solvent or by a solventless process.
Abstract:
Grafted compounds are formed by reacting (1) a first compound having both an aziridinyl group and a polymeric group with (2) a second compound having at least one acidic group. This reaction results in the opening of the aziridinyl ring on the first compound by the acidic group on the second compound and the formation of an attachment group that connects polymeric group of the first compound to the second compound. In some embodiments, the second compound is a polymeric material having multiple acidic groups and the product of the reaction of the first compound with the second compound results in the formation of a grafted copolymer.
