  • Patent number: 5169675
    Abstract: A process for adhering high nitrile resins onto a plastic material. The process comprises the steps of selecting a high nitrile resin having a nitrile content of at least about 60 percent by weight and prepared by the copolymerization of an olefinically unsaturated monovinyl nitrile and a monovinyl monomer copolymerizable therewith in the presence of a conjugated diene rubber, preparing a solution comprising from about one to 70 percent by weight of the high nitrile resin in a photopolymerizable solvent comprising from about 30 to 99 percent by weight of the solution and from about 0.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 25, 1989
    Date of Patent: December 8, 1992
    Assignee: The Standard Oil Company

  • Patent number: 4938995
    Abstract: The subject invention relates to a process for the deposition of an oxygen-containing high fluoropolymer thin film onto an approxpriate substrate comprising loading the substrate in an enclosed reactor; evacuating the reactor; charging the reactor with an inert carrier gas and an oxygen-containing fluorocarbon monomer feed gas; and plasma-polymerizing the feed gas such that a thin film of polymerized monomer is deposited onto the substrate.The invention further relates to an insulation material comprising the fluoropolymer thin film recited above, a plasma polymerized thin film of an oxygen-containing fluoropolymer, and the use of a polymerization precursor monomer for such thin films that is an oxygen-containing fluorocarbon monomer.
