Abstract: Disclosed is a water-insoluble addition copolymer of an ethylenically unsaturated unsubstituted amide and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer comprising sufficient amide groups mono-functionally bonded to a polyaldehyde to render the copolymer thermosettable. The copolymer is adapted for use as or for formulation in a binder. Such a binder is readily made from a copolymer latex and is useful in processes for the preparation of products such as nonwoven fabrics and bonded papers.

Abstract: A polymer composite material which comprises a first rigid polymeric material composed substantially of rigid molecular chains having an average chain length of 50 A or more, and a second polymeric material composed substantially of flexible molecular chains, wherein said first rigid polymeric material is present in an amount of 20% or less based on the total weight of polymeric material in said composite and said first material is uniformly dispersed in said second polymeric material in a microscopic region of 1 .mu.m or less.
Abstract: A method for the manufacture of an aminoformaldehyde resin. An amino compound is reacted with formaldehyde or paraformaldehyde in the liquid phase the latter being ensured by the presence of a reactive modifier in the reaction mixture. The reactive modifier comprises an amino-formaldehyde resin which is capable of reaction with further monomers and capable of rendering the mixture of reactants liquid at least at the temperature at which the reaction is to be carried out.

Abstract: Coating compositions comprising an alkylated urea-formaldehyde resin and a polymethylol cyclohexane, which are useful for low temperature cure and are low in viscosity to allow ease of coating without the need for appreciable amounts of solvent thinners. The alkylated urea-formaldehyde condensates have an average degree of condensation of about 3 or less and a combined urea:formaldehyde:alcohol ratio in the range of about 1:2-3:1-2.5. The compositions may be cured in the presence of acid catalysts in the temperature range of 70 to 105.degree. C., and are particularly useful for coating paper, cloth and wood substrates.
