Abstract: This is a thermally conductive adhesive having excellent die shear strength, in film form, and having a weight average molecular weight of about 100,000 to 150,000, prepared from a mixture of a dietherdianhydride, a meta-substituted benzenediamine, a polysiloanediamine, and a thermally conductive filler, that is suitable as a die attach adhesive: it bonds rapidly without the need for curing or baking off-line; does not produce excess stress on the die; requires no refrigeration; provides uniform bond line thickness between the die and paddle; can be used at temperatures that do not oxidize copper lead frames or produce excessive thermal stress; can be reworked; and can exert adequate adhesion during the processes of wire bonding and molding.

Abstract: This invention presents water-resistant, formaldehyde-free starch-based corugating adhesives. The adhesives are alkaline-curing and contain 0.1-7% (by wt.) of a crosslinking agent which is a condensate of an epihalohydrin and an amine, a polyamine, or ammonia.

Abstract: A formaldehyde-free latent crosslinking monomer represented by the formula ##STR1## in which R.sup.1 and R.sup.2 are C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl; R.sup.3 is hydrogen, C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl, or R.sup.4 --C(O)--; and R.sup.4 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.3 alkyl or C.sub.6 -C.sub.8 aryl, contains an allyl group capable of undergoing addition copolymerization and a dialkoxy ethyl group capable of crosslinking under acidic conditions. The monomer can be copolymerized with comonomers to form emulsion polymers for use as formaldehyde-free binders in nonwoven textiles. Methods for the preparation of the monomer, the polymers, and the nonwoven fabrics are described.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing binder for lead storage battery glass mats, characterized in that the ingredients (A) and (B) below are mixed and emulsion-polymerized:(A) an aqueous dispersion obtained by mixing the following raw materials: (a) a thermo-crosslinking monomer and (b) an alkyl (meth)acrylate ester, as necessary ingredients, and emulsion-polymerizing them;(B) a monomer mixture of a polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid (c) and the alkyl(meth)acrylate ester, as necessary ingredients.

Abstract: The use of ethylene glycol diacetate in place of methyl chloroform (1,1,1-trichloroethane) in conventional waterborne packaging and converting adhesives provides comparable adhesive products with reduced environmental and health related problems.

Abstract: Rapidly immobilizing paper coating compositions may be prepared by formulating an aqueous coating composition comprising a cationic starch, pigment and sufficient base to obtain a pH above the pK of the starch derivative so that the starch is no longer cationic; coating the paper substrate; and lowering the pH of the coating such that the starch becomes cationic.

Abstract: A solvented polyurethane adhesive composition comprising 20 to 40% by weight of diphenylmethane diisocyanate, 0.5 to 4.0% by weight of a caprolactone triol, 40 to 75% by weight of a neopentyl adipate ester diol, 0 to 10% by weight of at least one polypropylene oxide diol, and a functionally effective amount of a catalyst therefor.

Abstract: A composition comprising a multifunctional glycidyl ether having at least three epoxy groups per molecule with a hardening amount of a mixture of a rigid aromatic diamine and an aromatic diaminopolysiloxane can be thermally cured to a compatible composition. Glycidylamines cannot be used in this composition. Optionally, a diglycidyl ether can be included.The cured compositions have higher glass transition temperatures than previously observed with epoxy/silicone systems. They also have improved resistance to atomic oxygen over that shown by epoxy formulations lacking a polysiloxane species therein.
