  • Patent number: 10316228
    Abstract: A multi-phase silicone acrylic hybrid visco-elastic composition prepared by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a silicon-containing pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising acrylate or methacrylate functionality in a first solvent in the presence of an initiator, removing the first solvent, and adding a second solvent to form the multi-phase silicone acrylic hybrid visco-elastic composition. Alternatively, a multi-phase silicone acrylic hybrid visco-elastic composition prepared by polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer and a silicon-containing pressure sensitive adhesive composition comprising acrylate or methacrylate functionality in a first solvent in the presence of an initiator, adding a processing solvent having a higher boiling point than the first solvent, applying heat to selectively remove a majority of the first solvent, removing the processing solvent, and adding a second solvent to form the multi-phase silicone acrylic hybrid visco-elastic composition.

  • Patent number: 8569416
    Abstract: This invention provides a single phase silicone acrylate formulation that resists phase separation and includes (A) at least one of a silicone, an acrylate, and combinations thereof. The single phase silicone acrylate formulation also includes (B) a silicone acrylate hybrid compatibilizing agent including silicone functionality and (meth)acrylate functionality and that is the reaction product of a silicon-containing pressure sensitive adhesive composition, a (meth)acrylate, and an initiator. A method of minimizing phase separation of the single phase silicone acrylate formulation includes the step of combining (A) and (B) to form the single phase silicone acrylate formulation.

  • Patent number: 5908878
    Abstract: The present invention is a heat curable polyorganosiloxane composition comprising (A) a first polydiorganosiloxane having two diorganoalkenylsiloxy terminal groups per molecule and a total concentration of unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals of 0.118 to 0.156 mole percent; (B) a second polydiorganosiloxane having two diorganoalkenysiloxy terminal groups per molecule, and no detectable concentration of pendant unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals; (C) a third polydiorganosiloxane having two diorganoalkenysiloxy terminal groups per molecule and a total concentration of unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals of 1.37 to 2.24 mole percent; wherein the weight ratio of polydiorganoiloxanes (A), (B), and (C) satisfy the relationship (C)/(A+B)=0.0379 to 0.1071 and A/B=1.460 to 2.115; (D) a crosslinker containing silicone-hydrogen bonds, wherein the ratio of silicone-hydrogen bonds to the total ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon radicals present on the polydiorganosilanes (A), (B), and (C) is from 1.00 to 2.
