  • Patent number: 7550556
    Abstract: The present invention is to prevent the rapid viscosity rise generated at the time of dissolving or dispersing in a solvent a polymer obtained by reacting a material polymer having an acidic functional group and a hydroxyl group in the principal chain part with an isocyanate compound, in particular, a photo-curing polymer obtained by reaction with a radical polymerizable group-containing isocyanate compound. A highly stable polymer can be obtained by reacting a material polymer having a principal chain including at least a component unit having an acidic functional group and a component unit having a hydroxyl group with an isocyanate compound, and further reacting the same with an alcohol. Moreover, by producing a material polymer using a non-nitrile azo-based or peroxide-based polymerization initiator and/or introducing an isocyanate compound using a polymerization inhibitor selected from the compounds represented by the above-mentioned formulae (10) and (16), the transparency can be improved.

  • Patent number: 7339020
    Abstract: High-functionality polyisocyanates are prepared by a process which comprises (i) preparation of an addition product (A) which contains one group which is reactive toward isocyanate and at least two isocyanate groups by reacting (a) a diisocyanate or polyisocyanate I with (b1) compounds having at least three groups which are reactive toward isocyanate or (b2) compounds containing two groups which are reactive toward isocyanate or mixtures of (b1) and (b2), where at least one of the components (a) or (b) has functional groups having differing reactivities toward the functional groups of the other component and the reaction ratio is selected so that the addition product (A) contains an average of one group which is reactive toward isocyanate, (ii) if desired, intermolecular addition reaction of the addition product (A) to form a polyaddition product (P) containing an average of one group which is reactive toward isocyanate and an average of more than two isocyanate groups, and (iii) reaction of the addition
