Abstract: A thermosetting powder coating composition is disclosed herein. The composition comprises a solid pulverulent mixture of (A) a substantially linear vinyl addition interpolymer having a plurality of pendant 2-oxazoline and/or 2-oxazine groups, a number average molecular weight of from about 5,000 to about 25,000, and a melting point of from about 60.degree. C. to 90.degree. C., and (B) a solid polycarboxylic acid melting in the range of 70.degree. C. to 175.degree. C. which is included in an amount of from 0.75 to 1.25 carboxy equivalents per pendant oxazoline or oxazine group on the interpolymer. The utility of the above composition as a powder coating is further enhanced by inclusion of a plasticizer (e.g., a long chain monocarboxylic acid) and in practice, the powder compositions also normally include pigments and minor amounts of flow control agents. The instant powder coatings are applied by conventional techniques and cured at temperatures normally in the range of from about 150.degree. C. to about 200.

Abstract: Ethylenically-unsaturated products are obtained by (a) reacting acrylic acid and 2-oxazoline or a 2-alkyl or aryl-2-oxazoline in an inert liquid reaction medium and (b) recovering the desired product from (a) by heating the reaction mixture under reduced pressure to strip away the liquid diluent and volatile components, thus leaving the desired product as a non-volatile residue. The reaction products can be cross-linked by conventional techniques (e.g. freeradical initiation) to form useful coatings and adhesives. For example, the product produced by heating equal molar amounts of acrylic acid and 2-ethyl-2-oxazoline in benzene gave an ethylenically-unsaturated oligomeric product having a number average molecular weight of 253 and a weight average molecular weight of 460 in approximately 95 percent yield.

Abstract: Novel cellulosic sizing agents are described. They are ring-opened aziridinyl homopolymers of ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are hydrogen or lower alkyl; R.sub.3 is hydrogen or methyl; R.sub.4 is an organic hydrophobic group (e.g., C.sub.8 -C.sub.24 alkyl radical); and X is oxygen or amido nitrogen. The above homopolymers can also be blended with cationic starch to form useful sizing compositions. These sizing agents are normally employed as aqueous emulsions. E.g., paper having excellent sizing properties was prepared from a paper pulp containing a mixture of cationic starch and poly[stearyl 3-(1-aziridinyl)propionate].

Abstract: New esters are described having the formula ##STR1## wherein R is a chemical bond or an inert linking group such as alkylene, oxa-alkylene, thia-alkylene, arylene, alkenylene or the like, R' and R" are H or lower alkyl and n is 2-3. They are made by the reaction of a bis-oxazoline or -oxazine with an equimolar amount of an acrylic acid: ##STR2## The compounds (I) are acrylic esters and are polymerizable and copolymerizable by the same general techniques used with other acrylic esters, thus producing solid resins useful as molding and coating materials. The oxazoline and oxazine rings in such resins are reactive with carboxyl groups; hence, the resins can be mixed with carboxy-containing polymers to form mixtures that readily cure upon mmold heat treatment to form hard, water-resistant and solvent-resistant, infusible resins.
