Abstract: A system and method of forming a coated substrate are provided. A substrate is provided that has a polymeric surface and a lower, initial surface energy. A corona discharge treatment is applied to the polymeric surface. The application of the corona discharge treatment results in a surface energy that is greater than the initial surface energy. A composition having one or more 1,1-disubstituted alkene compounds is deposited directly on the corona treated surface and in direct communication with the surface to provide a coating, eliminating the use of an adhesion promoter.

Abstract: A solventless pressure sensitive adhesive composition is provided, having from about 65% to about 99.5%, by weight, of a first monomer comprising 1,1-disubstituted alkene monomer with a low Tg and from about 0.5% to about 25%, by weight, of a second monomer comprising 1,1-disubstituted alkene monomer with an elevated Tg. The composition also contains a 1,1-disubstituted alkene multifunctional crosslinker.

Abstract: Compositions comprising a) one or more polyester macromers containing one or more chains of the residue of one or more diols and one or more diesters wherein the residue of the one or more diols and the one or more diesters alternate along the chain and a portion of the diesters are 1,1-diester-1-alkenes and at least one terminal end comprises the residue of one of the 1,1-diester-1 alkenes and wherein one or more terminal ends may comprise the residue of one or more diols; and b) one or more polymers having pendant Michael Addition donor groups. Disclosed are coating prepared from these compositions.
