Patent number: 8759455Abstract: Single-component compositions are disclosed, which can be cured in two stages, wherein in the first curing stage, compositions pre-cured by means of moisture and having in particular plastic properties are formed, and wherein in the second curing stage, compositions cured by means of heat and having in particular elastic properties are formed. The two-stage compositions are suitable in particular as adhesives and have the great advantage that thanks to said two-stage compositions, an adhesive can be applied to a substrate, said adhesive cures by means of moisture in such a way that it can be handled and stored without problems, and said adhesive can be cured easily in an adhering step by means of heat only when needed.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2010Date of Patent: June 24, 2014Assignee: Sika Technology AGInventors: Alain Zahn, Michael Schlumpf, Urs Burckhardt

Patent number: 8722230Abstract: A polyurethane binder prepared by a polyurethane compound having double bonds and by crosslinking the polyurethane compounds. The polyurethane binder having double bonds can be dispersed in water with the dispersant including a reactive group such as a carboxyl group, and thus an organic solvent is not required to produce an electrode. The crosslinked polyurethane binder with a high crosslinking density provides an excellent elastic force and binding force, and thus the electrode and the lithium battery employing the polyurethane binder have improved recovery properties and charge/discharge properties.Type: GrantFiled: December 14, 2006Date of Patent: May 13, 2014Assignee: Samsung SDI Co., Ltd.Inventors: Seung-sik Hwang, Jin-hwan Park
