Patent number: 4959405Abstract: It has been discovered that by adding one or more strong organic carboxylic acids to conventional acrylate and/or methacrylate based adhesive compositions, the bonding characteristics thereof change dramatically.Thermoplastic materials whose bondability is most dramatically enhanced by the compositions of the present invention are nylon and blends of nylon and nylon-like materials with other polymers.Thermoset materials which exhibit dramatically enhanced bondability comprise homogeneous materials such as epoxies, and composite materials such as polyesters, urethanes, and/or epoxies, containing glass, minerals, and the like, which are polar or have hydrogen bonding capability.The present invention thus utilizes acrylate and/or methacrylate based adhesive compositions as a base material. To this base material is added an effective amount of one or more strong organic carboxylic acids, e.g., acids having a relatively high dissociation constant (K.sub.d or K.sub.ld).Type: GrantFiled: June 2, 1989Date of Patent: September 25, 1990Assignee: Illinois Tool Works, Inc.Inventors: Paul C.

Patent number: 4788078Abstract: Method and apparatus for the coating of a substrate wherein the following chronologically takes place under vacuum conditions: (i) non-oxidized plating material is deposited on the substrate via ion vapor deposition; and (ii) a coating material is chemically bonded with the non-oxidized plating material. The coating material may comprise a primer, which chemically bonds with the non-oxidized plating material, and a polymer, which impregnates the primer-prepared plating material. Said polymer may also chemically bond with the primer. Alternatively, the coating material may comprise an epoxy which forms an organo-metallic bond with the plating material. In another embodiment of the invention, the coating material may comprise boron trifluoride, which chemcially bonds with the non-oxidized plating material, and a polymer, which impregnates the boron trifluoride-prepared plating material.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 1987Date of Patent: November 29, 1988Assignee: Illinois Tool Works, Inc.Inventors: Donald J.
