  • Publication number: 20240043601
    Abstract: Disclosed herein is a method and thermoset made by: reacting a di- or tri-functional isocyanate with a silyl-containing compound to form a polyurethane having at least one unreacted isocyanate group, reacting the polyurethane with an aminoalkylalkoxysilane to form an alkoxysilane-terminated polyurethane, and moisture-curing the alkoxysilane-terminated polyurethane to form the thermoset. The silyl-containing compound has the formula: SiR1n[R3—(O—CO—X—R3)m—OH]4-n. Each X is —O— or —NR2—; each R1 is an alkyl group or an aryl group; each R2 is —H, an alkyl group, or an aryl group; each R3 is an alkylene group; n is 0, 1, or 2; and each m is a non-negative integer. The thermoset may be degraded by treatment with a solution of a fluoride salt in an organic solvent.

  • Patent number: 11499001
    Abstract: Disclosed is a composition having: an organosilane polymer, a polyamide polymer; and an abrasive aggregate. The organosilane is made by: reacting an amino-functional alkoxysilane with one or more polyisocyanates to form one or more adducts having an unreacted isocyanate group; and reacting the adducts with one or more polyfunctional amino- and/or hydroxyl compounds so that the polymer contains no unreacted isocyanate groups. The polyfunctional amino- and/or hydroxyl compound has a cycloaliphatic group or an aromatic group. The composition can be used to make a single-component polysiloxane non-skid/non-slip coating that is applied by rolling, spraying, or troweling and cures with atmospheric moisture.

  • Publication number: 20200392273
    Abstract: Disclosed is a network made by a method of: polymerizing a silyl-containing acrylate or methacrylate monomer, optionally copolymerized with a second acrylate or methacrylate monomer. The silyl-containing monomer has two or more acrylate or methacrylate groups. The second monomer contains no silyl groups. The second monomer comprises a urethane group, an ether group, an ester group, a urea group, an amide group, a thioether group, a hydroxyl group, or is an alkyl acrylate. The copolymerization is via radical-initiated polymerization of the acrylate or methacrylate groups. The network may be degradable upon exposure to a fluoride salt, an acid, or a base.

  • Patent number: 9701868
    Abstract: Moisture-curable single-component (1K) coatings based on N-substituted urea polymers with extended chains and terminal alkoxysilane groups. The coatings are highly flexible, are gloss retentive, provide fast tack-free and dry-through times, provide high solvent resistance, and provide excellent exterior color stability to sunlight. The coatings can be formulated to produce high-gloss, semi-gloss and low-gloss finishes, and thus have application as both commercial and military coatings.
