Abstract: A polymerizable adhesive composition comprising a two-part hybrid polymerizable adhesive composition is disclosed. In particular, the polymerizable adhesive composition comprises an organoborane monoamine complex, a free polyol comprising a dimer fatty polyol and a polyether polyol, at least one free radically polymerizable component, an isocyanate-terminated urethane pre-polymer, a free isocyanate and a low molecular weight chain extending compound. Also disclosed is methods of making and using a hybrid adhesive obtained from polymerization of the polymerizable adhesive composition.

Abstract: A fiberglass reinforced composite is provided with improved physical properties. The fiberglass reinforced composite incorporates core-shell rubber nanoparticles within the resinous binder of the composite and/or within a sizing composition coated directly onto the individual glass fibers.

Abstract: Adhesive composition derived from tannin-furfuryl alcohol catalyzed by acid in a two-part aqueous system is used to bond a variety of wood substrates to give good bond strength and high percentage of wood failure. The reactivity of the mixed adhesive can be controlled by the proper selection of acid catalyst, catalyst concentration, and adhesive composition. This gives adhesive with a wide range of open time during processing. This adhesive system can be either cold set or heat activated. It can also be cured by radio frequency similar to typical industrial settings. These characteristics make this adhesive system suitable for a number of engineered wood applications such as finger joint, Glulam, I-joist, and LVL.
