  • Patent number: 6852799
    Abstract: Product, method and use of a copolymer AB as a compatibilizing agent between a polar thermoplastic polymer C and a polyolefine D. The method of making AB comprise the steps of: a) melting a copolymer (A) comprising a larger amount of methylmethacrylate units and a smaller amount of functional vinyl or (meth)acrylate units wherein functional moiety is selected in the group consisting of (a hydroxyl, a carboxylic, a glycidyl or an amine functional group); together with maleic anhydride grafted polypropylene (B) allowing condensation reaction to occur between the functions under “A” and the anhydride under “B”; b) the condensation copolymer obtained under a) is further melt together with the two polymers C and D to be homogenized, or melt processed as an interlayer between the two molten polymers.

  • Patent number: 5652053
    Abstract: Combinations of IPN type molecular or intramolecular materials, which are thermoadhesive at temperatures not exceeding 90.degree. C. and which can be molded and shaped at said temperature, are characterized in that they contain a first rubber-like elastoviscous constituent having a softening point not exceeding 90.degree. C. and a second, semi-cristalline constituent essentially of the polyester type having a fusion temperature of 35.degree. to 80.degree. C. These combinations have controlled adhesiveness and adequate fluidity for application by hand particularly in do it yourself applications, orthopedics, sport and physiotherapy, and as an adhesive material on rough or porous bodies.
