Abstract: Provided are adhesives containing a phenoxy resin grafted with methyl methacrylate (MMA) and/or methacrylic acid (MAA), and including a uretdione or a silane. The adhesive compositions are completely or substantially absent free isocyanate. The grafted phenoxy resin forms crosslinking which allows the adhesive to chemisorb to a metal surface, diffuse and entangle in a urethane elastomer and/or provide crossbridging and/or crosslinking across an interface of the adhesive and a cast urethane. Methods of adhering a castable urethane to a substrate, using the provided adhesives, are also provided.

Abstract: An adhesive for bonding comprising a blocked isocyanate and organic carbonate, and optionally a phenoxy resin, catalyst, metal acetylacetonate, and a process for using such an adhesive to bond elastomers, such as liquid silicone rubber to substrates, such as polycarbonate in an injection molding process.

Abstract: The present invention provides an improved mortarboard configuration that is lightweight and durable. In a preferred configuration of the invention, the upper surface of the mortarboard is continuously contoured or dished to enhance retention of the material carried thereby and any water or other liquid used for retempering the material, and to provide for improved material workability. The mortarboard may have a handle to improve portability and handling.
