Patent number: 6800371Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides a curable composition comprising a mixture of epoxy resin, catalyst and an epoxy reactive thioether-containing compound and the resulting adhesives. The resulting adhesives are water and/or solvent resistant and bond to plastics such as ABS, polycarbonate, and PMMA; polyimide; noble metals such as gold and palladium; and silicon-containing materials such as silicon wafer die and silicon dioxide.Type: GrantFiled: March 7, 2001Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Kathleen B. Gross, Susan C. Noe, Alphonsus V. Pocius, William J. Schultz, Wendy L. Thompson

Patent number: 6605692Abstract: In one aspect, the invention provides ene-thiol elastomers comprising the reaction product of a polythiol free of hydrophilic groups and having at least two thiol groups and an aromatic, heterocyclic, aliphatic, or cycloaliphatic polyene having at least two reactive unsaturated carbon to carbon bonds. In another aspect, the invention provides ene-thiol elastomer comprising the reaction product of (a) a thiol terminated oligomer comprising the reaction product of a polythiol having two thiol groups and a first polyene or mixture of polyenes having two reactive unsaturated carbon to carbon bonds; and (b) a second polyene or a mixture of polyenes having at least 5 percent functional equivalents of unsaturated carbon to carbon bonds from polyenes having at least three unsaturated carbon to carbon bonds. The ene-thiol elastomers of the invention have a weight increase of not more than 4 weight percent in 15 days at a temperature of 22° C.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2002Date of Patent: August 12, 2003Assignee: 3M Innovative Properties CompanyInventors: Kathleen B. Gross, William J. Schultz
