Abstract: This invention relates to novel compositions of matter which are multifunctional amino zirconium aluminum metallo organic complexes which are comprised of a chemically united complex aluminum moiety, a tetravalent zirconium moiety, and a multifunctional amino acid wherein the acid is chemically bound to both the aluminum and zirconium centers.Such compositions are useful in promoting adhesion of adhesives, sealants, and coatings to metal, rubber, glass, plastic, coatings, and wood thereby enhancing strength properties and prolonging useful service life when such products are exposed to aggressive environments.Futher described is the specific process for the preparing of such compositions in organic media with desirable stability of the metal centers toward polymerization and related hydrolysis.

Abstract: This invention relates to novel compositions of matter which are mixed metal metallo-organic complex agents comprised of a chemically united complex aluminum moiety and tetravalent zirconium moiety. The specific process for preparing such compositions in mixed organic/aqueous media with desirable hydrolytic stability is described.Further described are compositions of matter wherein the aforementioned metallo-organics are employed as coupling agents to chemically modify the surface of fibrous and particulate inorganic substances and certain organic particulates, thereby resulting in hydrophobic, organophilic fibers and particles having improved rheological properties which facilitate higher filler or fiber loading levels, e.g. in plastics and resins, and serve to enhance the physical properties of composite articles and coatings formed therewith.

Abstract: Nonwoven fabrics are bonded by a binding agent which comprises an aqueous dispersion of an organic polymer coupled to an inorganic filler by means of an organosilane or organotitanate coupling agent. Such fabrics possess properties which render them exceptionally suitable for use as top sheets for disposable diapers and the like.
