Abstract: A multi-component curable composition which is reactive upon admixing of the components and which is the reaction product of: (i) a polyester epoxy block or graft copolymer having acetoacetoxy functionality; and (ii) a crosslinking component. The crosslinking component may include at least one imine functional compound having an average of at least two imine groups per molecule which are reactive with acetoacetoxy functionality.

Abstract: The invention provides the novel use of 20(S)-protopanaxadiol in the preparation of medicaments for the treatment of depressive psychiatric disorders. The pharmacological test results indicated that the compound could remarkably increase the level of NE, 5-HT and HAV in the brains of model rats having depressive disorders, remarkably enhance tremors induced by 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP) and behavioral effects induced by levodopa, and inhibit the re-uptake of 5-HT and NA.

Abstract: A synthetic method of 20(s)-ginsenoside Rh2, that is 20(S)-protopanaxdiol-3-O-?-D-glucopyranoside, is comprised of: protecting protopanaxdiol (A1) selectively first to produce monosubstituted protopanaxdiol (A2); and Glycosidating the monosubstituted protopanaxdiol with Glucopyranosyl donor in the presence of Lewis acid catalyst; Deprotecting the product; Then separating and purifying to obtain 20(s)-ginsenoside Rh2. The method is conducted under mild condition at low cost, and affords product with high stereoselectivity, high yield and purity. Therefore, the synthetic method of the present invention is suitable for production on large scale.

Abstract: The invention provides high solids epoxy-based autodeposition coating materials and a means to obtain the high solids epoxy-based autodeposition coating materials that eliminates/minimizes the need for process solvents. An epoxy pre-polymer is used. The epoxy pre-polymer is combined with ethylenically unsaturated monomer, as an alternative to organic solvent, to yield an epoxy-monomer blend, which may be blended with other coating components and additives. The resulting blend is then dispersed in water with surfactant and the ethylenically unsaturated monomer is polymerized (in the presence of other formulation components) to yield a dispersion. The dispersion may then be used as one component of a coating formulation. The coating formulation can then be applied to materials and cured to form a final coating.

Abstract: Epoxy resins that have one or more functional groups that impart an anionic character to the epoxy resins are prepared. The resulting anionic functionalized epoxy resins may be used to produce high solids, epoxy-based dispersions that are capable of being used as a component of a coating bath which can provide to a coating that may be applied to a surface using a variety of techniques.

Abstract: Autodeposited coatings useful for protecting metal surfaces and in production of rubber-to-metal composites are obtained by curing adducts based on epoxy resins which are adhered to the metal surface. One or more epoxy resins, such as for example, the combination of a diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A and a flexibilizing epoxy resin, may be prereacted to form an adduct of higher average molecular weight than the starting epoxy resins. Said adduct may then be dispersed in water, with the resulting dispersion being used in an autodeposition bath composition.

Abstract: The anticorrosive properties of a coating autodeposited on a metal substrate are improved by contacting the autodeposited coating with an aqueous solution of an alkaline earth metal compound such as calcium nitrate prior to curing.
