Patent number: 4942204Abstract: New amphiphilic networks have been synthesized by free-radical copolymerization of hydrophobic methacryloyl capped polyisobutylenes (MA-PIB-MA) with hydrophilic 2-(dimethylamino)ethyl methacrylate (DMAEMA).

Patent number: 4585833Abstract: This invention is directed to curable molding compositions containing a mixture of a poly(acrylate), a polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer which serves to crosslink the poly(acrylate) to a thermoset product, a thermoplastic polymer low profile additive, and a free radical initiator mixture containing at least one initiator with a 10-hour half-life temperature (t.sub.1/2) of greater than about 90.degree. C. and at least one initiator with a 10-hour half-life temperature (t.sub.1/2) of less than about 90.degree. C. The curable molding compositions exhibit improved shrink control during the curing reaction. This invention is also directed to fiber reinforced thermoset resin articles which exhibit generally improved surface appearance quality and can be produced by a rapid injection molding process from the curable molding compositions.Type: GrantFiled: May 26, 1983Date of Patent: April 29, 1986Assignee: Union Carbide CorporationInventor: Linda A.

Patent number: 4584354Abstract: Graft copolymers are formed having a backbone formed by monomeric units, selected from the group of vinyl monomers comprising acrylates, methacrylates, acrylamide, styrene and N-vinyl-2-phyrrolidone, and side branches formed by 10-80 wt. % of oligourethanes based on aliphatic, aromatic and alkylaromatic diisocyanates and low-molecular-weight diols with 2-4 carbon atoms in the molecule. The graft copolymers are prepared in two steps: the first step consists in the synthesis of oligourethane with the terminal unsaturated group; the second step is the radical copolymerization of this oligourethane with the above vinyl monomers.Type: GrantFiled: October 18, 1984Date of Patent: April 22, 1986Assignee: Ceskoslovenska Akademie Ved of PragueInventors: Slavko Hudecek, Ivana Hudeckova, Pavel Cefelin

Patent number: 4567234Abstract: The impact resistance of resin compositions consisting of a thermoplastic polymer, particularly a homopolymer or copolymer of vinyl chloride, can be improved by an impact additive of the graft copolymer type. The graft copolymer impact additive consists of a backbone composed of a statistical copolymer of butadiene or isoprene, an alkyl acrylate of a C.sub.2 to C.sub.12 alkyl, and a polyfunctional cross-linking agent, onto which are grafted the chains of a polymer of an alkyl methacrylate of a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl, particularly methyl methacrylate. The backbone of the graft copolymer impact additive comprises 0.5-35% by weight butadiene or isoprene, and up to 10 mole % of the cross-linking agent, while the weight ratio of grafted chains to the backbone can range from 10 to 200%.The resin compositions are particularly useful to improve impact strength at low temperatures.Type: GrantFiled: June 22, 1984Date of Patent: January 28, 1986Assignee: M&T Chemicals Inc.Inventor: Gilles Meunier
