Abstract: A thermoplastic polymer alloy comprising the reaction product of at least one polyisocyanate, at least one substantially linear polyhydroxyl compound, and/or at least one chain extender and at least one epoxy resin. Upon curing, a thermoset polymer alloy results which is cured through the epoxy functionality which is bound in the structure.

Abstract: Thermoplastic hot melt compositions and process for forming such compositions are disclosed. The compositions comprise a polyurethane having at least one plasticizer reacted therein formed by heating a reaction mixture comprising at least one isocyanate having a functionality less than about 2, at least one long chain polyol, at least one chain extender and the at least one plasticizer at a temperature of at least about 330.degree. F. where the components are present in an amount as defined in the specification. The process is adequately reflected by the above language.

Abstract: Thixotropic compositions and methods for forming the same are disclosed. The thixotropic agent consists essentially of leather fibers.

Abstract: An improved reactive adhesive for bonding rubber to rubber or rubber to other substrates such as metal or plastic, comprises an effective mixture of (a) an ionomer resin comprising a copolymer of ethylene, vinyl or polyoxymethylene monomer with a pendant carboxylic acid-containing compound, and (b) a poly-C-nitroso compound. The ionomer resin may be one which has been metal-or quaternary ammonium-neutralized and may be dispersed in water or the like, along with the poly-C-nitroso compound. Preferably, the poly-C-nitroso compound comprises para-dinitrosobenzene. The ionomer may, for example, comprise a polyethylene-methacrylic acid copolymer which has been neutralized with sodium, zinc, or the like. Preferably, the poly-C-nitroso compound is present in a concentration of at least about 15 parts per 100 parts by weight of said ionomer and, most preferably, between about 35 and about 80 parts per 100 parts by weight of said ionomer resin.
