Abstract: The present invention provides a cross linked polyolefin thermoset material, comprising maleic anhydride functionalized reactive polyolefin wax cross linked with a polyamine. The thermoset may be made by a method involving reaction of a maleic anhydride functionalized reactive polyolefin wax with a polyamine. The polyolefin may be polyethylene, polypropylene and their copolymers. The polyamine is a primary or secondary alkyl polyamines, alkyl ether polyamines, aryl polyamines. Polyols may be used instead of polyamines, for example alkyl polyols, alkyl ether polyols or aryl polyols.

Abstract: The present provides a bondably coated metallic member comprising a metallic member having a low surface energy polymeric coating, said low surface energy polymeric coating having been surface activated on at least a portion thereof, and having on said surface-activated portion a bondable high surface energy polymeric coating. The present invention also provides a bondably-coated metallic pipe comprising metallic pipe having a low surface energy mainline polymeric coating thereon extending over the pipe except at a bare zone adjacent each end of the pipe that is free from said main-line coating; a portion of said mainline coating adjacent each bare zone having been surface activated and having on said surface activated portion a bondable high surface energy polymeric coating.

Abstract: A crosslinkable acrylic copolymer sealant composition has a stabilized viscosity in that the viscosity does not unduly increase nor does the material gel on storage for periods of time up to and including one year. The stabilized viscosity is unexpectedly achieved by adding moisture scavengers either before and/or during the polymerization of the various monomers. The sealant composition is suitable for use in high movement applications as well as to metal and glass substrates.

Abstract: A fused compact of polycrystalline diamond is formed by dynamically shocking either fine diamond crystals or a mixture of fine diamond crystals and graphite.
