Abstract: Tertiary aromatic amines derived from para-aminophenethanol act as accelerators for the peroxide catalyzed polymerization of vinyl monomers, especially methacrylates and acrylates, and for the curing of unsaturated polyesters. The amines are characterized by generally high reactivity and low toxicity, and by their yielding polymers of high strength and low color, and are thereby particularly suited for use in polymerizable or curable formulations employed in the filling and restoration of human teeth, in the preparation of cold-curing denture base materials for fabricating or repairing dentures and in the cementing of bone.

Abstract: The invention entitled "Polymers containing polyalkylpiperidines and use thereof as stabilizers" provides a class of polymers in which groups containing sterically hindered polyalkylpiperidines are linked in the main chain of the polymers via bridging members containing 2-hydroxy-1,3-trimethylene groups.The polymers show superior stabilizing effects for various synthetic polymers such as polyolefins against degradation thereof induced by light and/or heat. The polymers have advantages, as compared with known stabilizer compounds, that they hardly volatile upon processing with heating or during storage of articles containing thereof, and that they are resistant to extraction with solvents from articles containing thereof.

Abstract: Condensation polymers or addition polymers which contain sterically hindered polyalkylpiperidine groups are proposed as light stabilizers for plastics. The polymers concerned are relatively low-molecular polymers and a difunctional derivative of a polyalkylpiperidine is additionally used for the manufacture of these. The piperidine radical can be present in the main chain or as a side group of the polymeric stabilizer. Polymeric stabilizers of this type do not tend to migrate out of the plastic or to be removed by extraction; they are therefore very permanent in use.

Abstract: Release coatings are provided by including in a liquid monomer or prepolymer polymerizable by electromagnetic or ionizing radiation a waxy material of limited compatibility therein. Upon application of a film of such material by casting, coating or printing, a thin layer of the waxy material migrates to the surface to provide, after cure, the desired release properties. The thin surface layer of waxy material also tends to exclude oxygen from the film to permit radiant curing in air. Preferably the polymerizable liquid comprises acrylate monomers with or without unsaturated prepolymers co-polymerizable therewith dissolved therein. Novel prepolymers especially useful for providing release films and other radiation curable coatings are described, including the reaction product of polyamides, containing primary and secondary amine groups with unsaturated polybasic carboxylic acids and particular reaction products of polyether triols with toluene diisocyanate, modified with unsaturated monomers.

Abstract: Disclosed are solid, readily water-soluble addition polymers of acid addition salts of methacrylic acid and a 2-mono(lower)alkylaminoethyl methacrylate, whose lower alkyl group has up to 6 carbons and is straight or branched chain or cyclic. These polymers are insoluble in pentane, hexane and butane below their boiling points, and their aqueous solutions show amphoteric activity. These polymers result from polymerizing the starting monomeric acid addition salt of methacrylic acid and a 2-mono(lower)alkylaminoethyl methacrylate in the ratio of from about one mol to about 1.5 mols of one of them per mol of the other. Also disclosed is the method of producing these addition polymers by heating the starting acid addition salt under pressure in a low boiling aliphatic solvent at a temperature above its boiling point, from which after lowering the temperature the resulting addition polymer readily is separated as a light weight finely divided product.
