  • Patent number: 7897718
    Abstract: The present invention relates to an acrylated semi-crystalline hyperbranched polyurethane oligomer and a preparation method thereof, which is characterized in that on the basis of the synthesis of hyperbranched polyurethane oligomer, it adopts a two-step process to make modifications to form a methacrylic and/or acrylic double bond and a long carbon chain with a carbon atom number higher than 10 or a benzene ring or a naphthalene ring at the terminals. The obtained oligomer has a lower melting point and a higher glass transition temperature and can be cured by means of radiation, and the curing rate is high enough to effectively improve production efficiency and save energy to form a cured film having a higher hardness and excellent thermal stability. The raw materials used in the method of the invention are easily obtained, and the method is suitable for large-scale production in industry.

  • Patent number: 7838579
    Abstract: Disclosed are a synthetic resin composition for use as building materials such as window frames, as well as a product manufactured using the same. More particularly, the synthetic resin composition comprises a tetrapolymer of acrylic rubber-styrene monomer-butadiene rubber-vinyl cyanide monomer and a styrene-vinyl cyanide copolymer having a high molecular weight and a high degree of dispersion. Unlike products manufactured using prior polyvinyl chloride (PVC), building material such as window frames manufactured using the synthetic resin composition are recyclable, and thus can contribute to a reduction in the generation of hormone-disrupting chemical dioxin, which is released in the burning thereof. Also, the resin composition can be manufactured into products having excellent properties of weather resistance and colorability without using environmental pollutants such as cadmium stearate or lead stearate, which are used as thermal stabilizers.

  • Patent number: 7838617
    Abstract: Commercial spandex can be prepared with greater efficiency, improved consistency and at lower costs from a high-solids content polyurethaneurea polymer solution. The polyurethaneurea is prepared using a combination of 4,4?-MDI and 2,4?-MDI, and an amount of chain extenders and chain terminators such that the polymer solution, prior to spinning, is highly soluble and has an appropriate pre-spun IV and primary amine content. Such spandex fibers, and the fabrics and garments comprising them, have good dyeability and colorfastness, as well as other desirable characteristics.
