  • Initiator system and adhesive composition made therewith
    Patent number: 6027813
    Abstract: Systems for initiating the polymerization of acrylic monomers comprising (1) organoborane amine complexes and (2) decomplexers comprising at least one anhydride group. Adhesive compositions prepared from the initiator systems advantageously exhibit low levels of mobile constituents, excellent solvent resistance, and good adhesion to low energy surfaces.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 23, 1998
    Date of Patent: February 22, 2000
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
    Inventor: E. John Deviny
  • Initiator system and adhesive composition made therewith
    Patent number: 5990036
    Abstract: Systems for initiating the polymerization of acrylic monomers comprising (1) organoborane-amine complexes and (2) bireactive decomplexers preferably comprising at least one free-radically polymerizable group and at least one amine-reactive group in the same molecule. The decomplexer is capable of forming a covalent bond with both the acrylic monomers and amine complex, resulting in a reduced level of mobile constituents. Furthermore, when the organoborane amine complex of the initiator system comprises a polyamine compound, polymerized acrylic compositions having improved solvent resistance are advantageously provided.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 7, 1997
    Date of Patent: November 23, 1999
    Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties Company
    Inventor: E. John Deviny
  • Organoborane amine complex initiator systems and polymerizable compositions made therewith
    Patent number: 5935711
    Abstract: A composition comprises organoborane amine complex and aziridine-functional material. The composition can form a part of a polymerization initiator system that also includes a compound that is reactive with the amine portion of the complex. The system can be used to initiate polymerization of acrylic monomer and to form an acrylic adhesive that has exceptionally good adhesion to low surface energy polymers.
