Abstract: A method of forming a cured thermoset composition by applying radio signals having a frequency of about 1 to 100 MHz to a composition comprising a major portion of thermoset and a receptor, said receptor having a dissipation factor of about 0.1 or greater and a dielectric constant of at least 0.1 or greater, said receptor selected from the group consisting of alkali or alkaline earth metal sulfate salts, aluminum trihydrate, quaternary ammonium salts, phosphonate compounds, phosphate compounds, polystyrene sulfonate sodium salts or mixtures thereof, said method comprising the steps of:(a) applying said composition to a substrate;(b) applying radio signals to the composition deposited on the substrate; and(c) dissipating the radio signals received by the receptor as thermal energy in an amount effective to cure the composition to a thermoset bond.

Abstract: Normally water insoluble hot melt adhesive compositions containing structural polymers such as A-B-A block copolymers, butyl rubbers, polyesters, ethylene vinyl acetates, ethylene acrylic acid polymers can be made sensitive to the action of water using an effective water sensitizing amount of a polyalkyloxazoline polymer in the hot melt adhesive. The polyalkyloxazoline polymer can be incorporated into a single phase adhesive composition with the structural polymer using an effective amount of a hydroxyl or carboxylic acid compound.

Abstract: The composite articles of this invention can be made more efficiently through the use of a single adhesive having sufficient resistance to creep, sufficiently high bond strength, and a viscosity that is controllable through a range permitting it to be used for elastic attachment and in fine line, multi-line extrusion or sprayed adhesive preparation techniques.

Abstract: The present invention is a powder coating composition as well as a process for its preparation. The powder coating, having a particle size of about 5 to 250 microns, can form improved, glossy coatings similar to chrome plate. The process comprises milling together a resinous binder and aluminum particles to produce a powder material, adding an effective amount of a fluidizing agent per hundred parts of binder to the powder material having a particle size of 5 to 250 microns.
