  • Patent number: 5455113
    Abstract: Flexible coated bundles of fibers are provided that are both encapsulated and impregnated with a coating of one or more independently partially crosslinkable polyurethane. The fibers in the bundle can have a first chemical treatment or size and the bundle of these fibers is treated to have the coating of the polyurethane. The coating impregnates the bundle so that a majority of the fibers have a substantial portion of their surfaces covered with the coating. The independently partially crosslinkable polyurethane is selected from polyurethane polymers that are solvent-soluble, dispersible or emulsifiable that produce a thermoplastic elastomeric film. The partial crosslinkability is from one or more of the following types of crosslinking: self-crosslinkable, internally crosslinkable and/or in-situ crosslinkable. Additional components other than external crosslinking agents can also be present in the coating composition.

  • Patent number: 5393850
    Abstract: Vinyl ester resins of the type already having reactive liquid polymers reacted into the backbone of the resins, are cured in the presence of a reactive liquid polymer additive admixed with the prereacted vinyl ester resin. Heating of the system during cure causes the reactive liquid polymer additive to miscibilize with the vinyl ester base resin. The vinyl ester resin modified in the manner described above shows a significant enhancement in toughness as measured by fracture energy over unmodified counterparts or counterparts modified by known methods of adduction or admixing alone.

  • Patent number: 5385990
    Abstract: A structural adhesive composition containing an epoxy compound, an amine hardener and a hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound having a pKa ranging from about 5 to 9.7 and a boiling point greater than about 210.degree. C. The utilization of a hydroxy-substituted aromatic compound having a pKa and a boiling point within the stated ranges provides for an adhesive composition which develops significant green strength, undergoes minimal sinkage during the bonding and curing process, and is capable of withstanding high temperature conditions.

  • Patent number: 5356949
    Abstract: An adhesive tape comprising an energy beam transmittable base sheet having a surface tension of not more than 40 dyne/cm and an adhesive layer formed on one surface of the base sheet, the adhesive layer comprising a (meth)acrylate polymer, an epoxy resin, a photopolymerizable low molecular weight compound, a heat activatable latent curing agent for the epoxy resin and a photopolymerization initiator for the photopolymerizable low molecular weight compound. The adhesive in the adhesive layer is curable with an energy beam and the so cured adhesive develops tackiness again when heated. When the tape is used in processing a semiconductor wafer, it serves as a dicing tape for holding the wafer in position during the dicing step. Each piece of the diced and cured adhesive layer, that is attached to each chip and capable of being tackified by heating, provides an adhesive required for securely mounting the chip on the lead frame in the die-bonding step.

  • Patent number: 5252669
    Abstract: A water reducible resin for use in a coating composition is produced by grafting in organic solvent a thermoplastic polymer onto a thermosetting polymer that has been copolymerized with acid group-containing monomers to render the resultant polymer water soluble. Thermoplastic polymer is also grafted onto a phosphatized polyepoxide for the sake of adhesion of a coating to a substrate. A film formed from a waterborne coating composition containing the grafted polymers as a binder has both the toughness properties characteristic of a thermoplastic and the flexibility properties of a thermosetting resin.

  • Patent number: 5204386
    Abstract: A thixoropic adhesive composition exhibiing good sag resistance is prepared comprising a mixture of a polymer-modified epoxy resin and a rheological control agent. The polymer-modified epoxy resin is preferably a dispersion of acrylic elastomer in an epoxy resin in which the acrylic elastomer particles have added hydroxyl functionality which interacts favorably with rheological control agents, such as fumed silica. Acrylic epoxy resin dispersions containing added hydroxyl functionality give improved rheological control.
