Patent number: 6482909Abstract: Control agents that have a nitrogen-nitrogen bond covalently bonded to a thiocarbonyl moiety are provided for living-type free radical polymerization of a wide variety of monomers. These control agents provide superior properties for control of the polymerization and/or the properties of the polymers obtained and/or the monomers that may be polymerized. In some embodiments, a bulky group is pendant off the activated thiocarbonyl portion of the control agents. Multifunctional control agents provide the opportunity for a variety of structurally unique polymers, including block copolymers, stars and hyper-branched polymers.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 2001Date of Patent: November 19, 2002Assignee: Symyx Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Dominique Charmot, Han Ting Chang, Yunxiao Li

Patent number: 6395822Abstract: This invention relates to a liquid coating composition that is thermally-curable in the presence of oxygen, comprising: a monomer or oligomer containing two or more acrylate and/or methacrylate functional groups; an azo initiator; and oxygen. This invention also relates to a process for coating a substrate comprising the steps of applying a thin film of the foregoing coating composition to said substrate; and heating said coating composition at an effective temperature for an effective period of time to cure said coating composition, said applying and heating steps being conducted in the presence of oxygen.Type: GrantFiled: December 17, 1999Date of Patent: May 28, 2002Inventor: Garry J. Edgington
