Patent number: 11111320Abstract: Novel stress-reducing crosslinking oligomers that have application in dental restoratives, thin films, hardcoats, composites, adhesives, and other uses subject to stress reduction are described. The addition-fragmentation process of crosslinking results in a chain-transfer event that provides novel polymers that may be further functionalized. In addition, the addition-fragmentation oligomer comprises pendent functional groups that bond to a substrate by forming an ionic or covalent bond, or etch the substrate by chemically removing some material from the substrate.Type: GrantFiled: October 2, 2019Date of Patent: September 7, 2021Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: William H. Moser, Ann R. Fornof, Guy D. Joly, Serkan Yurt, Larry R. Krepski, Ahmed S. Abuelyaman, Afshin Falsafi, Bradley D. Craig, Joel D. Oxman, Babu N. Gaddam

Patent number: 10768528Abstract: A pattern article comprising a copolymer having polymerized units derived from a cleavable crosslinking monomer, to which a pattern is imparted by the release of incipient acid from a thermal acid generator or photoacid generator. The selective release of the acid provides a pattern of high crosslink density and low crosslink density as result of the incipient acid cleaving a portion of the crosslinks.Type: GrantFiled: September 15, 2016Date of Patent: September 8, 2020Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Jason D.
