Patent number: 5958988Abstract: A cross-linked polyurethane resin powder includes a powder including particles made from a hard or a semi-hard polyurethane resin. The particles have a superficial portion and an internal portion disposed inside the superficial portion, and involve cross-linked bondings therein. Part of the cross-linked bondings are unchanged, and another part thereof are broken to result in activated groups. At least part of the activated groups are exposed on the superficial portion of the particles. The cross-linked polyurethane resin powder is produced by hydrolyzing a hard or semi-hard polyurethane resin in the presence of water and in a temperature range of from a hydrolysis temperature of the resin to a liquefying temperature thereof, and by applying a predetermined shearing force to the resin. The cross-linked polyurethane resin powder can disperse well in resinous substrates, and can upgrade the physical properties of the resulting recycled products.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1996Date of Patent: September 28, 1999Assignee: Toyota Jidosha Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Mitsumasa Matsushita, Takumi Taniguchi, Takashi Ohta, Norio Sato, Yuji Hoshino, Kanemitsu Kondo, Naruaki Abe, Toshiyuki Suzuki
