  • Multi-ethylenic monomers from glycosides
    Patent number: 4833202
    Abstract: A polymerizable composition comprised of a major amount of a polymerizable component and a minor amount of a multi-ethylenic glycoside compound (e.g. acrylate and/or methacrylate esters of an alkyl glucoside or allyl ethers of an alkyl glucoside) useful in forming a crosslinked polymeric composition. Novel multi-ethylenic alkyl glucosides are disclosed which are prepared by a novel method. The polymerizable compositions are useful as castings, moldings, extrusions, coatings, binders and adhesives. The multi-ethylenic alkyl glucoside monomers yield crosslinked polymeric compositions having properties which are generally comparable, or superior, to compositions based on commercially available multi-ethylenic monomers.

  • Enhanced transfer printability treatment method and composition
    Patent number: 4795675
    Abstract: The transfer printability of fabric materials containing at least a minor proportion of cellulosic or natural proteinaceous fibers such as, for example, cotton, rayon, cellulose acetate, wool, silk, etc. is notably improved by a treatment in which said fabric material is impregnated with certain glycoside reagents. Especially preferred glycoside reagents for use in such treatment are C.sub.2 -C.sub.6 alkyl monoglucosides.

  • Methods of making and using adhesive resins and glue mixes
    Patent number: H603
    Abstract: A method of providing an adhesive resin and methods of providing glue mixes useful in plywood manufacture are provided. Also provided is a method of manufacturing plywood. An alkyl glycoside, e.g. methyl glucoside, is utilized in various ways in the manufacture of an adhesive resin, a glue mix and/or, a plywood panel to contribute various properties thereto. The plywood panel is useful as a structural material in a variety of settings.
