The disclosure relates to thin layers comprising a catechol containing polymer or oligomer, as well as methods of making and using the thin layers comprising the catechol containing polymer or oligomer. The layers demonstrate improved adhesion between two materials without substantial modification of the adhesive matrix.

Thin-film catechol containing materials

An electronics composition includes a curable matrix material and, optionally, a filler material disposed within the matrix material. The cured matrix material includes an oligomer or polymer material derived from a compound selected from a methylene malonate monomer, a multifunctional methylene monomer, a methylene beta ketoester monomer, a methylene beta diketone monomer, or a mixture thereof.

Composite compositions for electronics applications

A composite material comprises a reinforcing material carried in a polymer matrix material which is the polymerization product of a polymerizable composition comprising a di-activated vinyl compound, with the proviso that the di-activated vinyl compound is not a cyanoacrylate. The reinforcing materials may be a wide variety of substrates including thermally sensitive materials. Exemplary composites can be molded and cured at ambient temperatures. Also disclosed are laminate materials having layered materials adhered by curing a di-activated vinyl polymerizable composition.

Composite and laminate articles and polymerizable systems for producing the same

The present invention provides multifunctional monomers, including, but not limited to include multifunctional methylene malonate and methylene beta-ketoester monomers; methods for producing the same; and compositions and products formed therefrom. The multifunctional monomers of the invention may be produced by transesterification or by direct synthesis from monofunctional methylene malonate monomers or methylene beta-ketoester monomers. The present invention further compositions and products formed from methylene beta-ketoester monomers of the invention, including monomer-based products (e.g., inks, adhesives, coatings, sealants or reactive molding) and polymer-based products (e.g., fibers, films, sheets, medical polymers, composite polymers and surfactants).

Multifunctional monomers, methods for making multifunctional monomers, polymerizable compositions and products formed therefrom

The present teachings are directed at 1,1-disubstituted alkene monomers (e.g., methylene beta-ketoester monomers), methods for producing the same, polymerizable compositions including a methylene beta-ketoester monomer, and polymers, compositions and products formed therefrom. The monomer preferably is a high purity monomer. In the method for producing the methylene beta-ketoesters of the invention, a beta-ketoester may be reacted with a source of formaldehyde. The methylene beta-ketoester monomers may be used in monomer-based products (e.g., inks, adhesives, coatings, sealants or reactive molding) and polymer-based products (e.g., fibers, films, sheets, medical polymers, composite polymers and surfactants).

Polymers including a methylene beta-ketoester and products formed therefrom

Method to obtain methylene malonate and related monomers following a bis(hydroxymethyl) malonate pathway. A bis(hydroxymethyl) malonate intermediary is subsequently reacted (i.e., subjected to thermolysis) to provide a methylene malonate monomer species. A source of formaldehyde (e.g., formalin) is provided in the presence of a basic catalyst (e.g., calcium hydroxide), to which a malonate (e.g., diethyl malonate) is added under suitable reaction conditions to obtain the desired intermediary (e.g., dialkyl bis(hydroxymethyl) malonate). The intermediary is reacted (i.e., subjected to thermolysis) under suitable conditions in the presence of a suitable catalyst (e.g., a zeolite) to obtain a methylene malonate monomer. In an exemplary embodiment, the thermolysis reaction includes the addition of the bis(hydroxymethyl) malonate intermediary onto a heated catalyst. The reaction product is collected and purified. The disclosed methods may be performed in a continuous operation. Discrete steps may be performed by using modular units within a plant.

Optical materials including polymerizable compositions and oligomeric and polymeric material formed therefrom. The oligomer or polymer material include structural repeat units. The optical material has low or substantially no absorbance of wavelengths in at least one of the spectral regions of interest. Optical components include adhesives, waveguides, spherical or non-spherical optical lenses, architectural articles, automotive components, laminated structures and composites.

Optical material and articles formed therefrom

The present teachings are directed at 1,1-disubstituted alkene monomers (e.g., methylene beta-diketone monomers), methods for producing the same, and compositions and products formed therefrom. In the method for producing the monomer, a beta-diketone is preferably reacted with a source of formaldehyde in a modified Knoevenagel reaction optionally in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst, and optionally in the presence of an acidic or non-acidic solvent, to form reaction complex. The reaction complex may be an oligomeric complex. The reaction complex is subjected to vaporization in order to isolate the monomer. The monomer(s) may be employed in compositions and products, including monomer-based products (e.g., inks, adhesives, coatings, sealants or reactive molding) and polymer-based products (e.g., fibers, films, sheets, medical polymers, composite polymers and surfactants).

Methylene beta-diketone monomers, methods for making methylene beta-diketone monomers, polymerizable compositions and products formed therefrom

Reactive composition includes a reactive component able to form an adhesive bond between two substrates, at least one of which comprises a plastic material. The substrate may include an initiator on or near the surface thereof. The initiator may be present in the plastic material inherently, by blending in an additive package, through injection molding, or other process. The reactive component may comprise a methylene malonate, a reactive multifunctional methylene, a methylene beta ketoester, a methylene beta diketone. A carrier component for the reactive component may be selected to interact with the plastic substrate to soften and/or penetrate the surface to be bonded. The surface of the plastic may be abraded or otherwise treated to expose the initiator. The reactive component, upon contact with a suitable initiator, is able to polymerize to form an interpenetrating polymer weld.

Plastics bonding systems and methods

The present invention provides methylene beta-ketoester monomers, methods for producing the same, and compositions and products formed therefrom. In the method for producing the methylene beta-ketoesters of the invention, a beta-ketoester is reacted with a source of formaldehyde in a modified Knoevenagel reaction optionally in the presence of an acidic or basic catalyst, and optionally in the presence of an acidic or non-acidic solvent, to form reaction complex. The reaction complex may be an oligomeric complex. The reaction complex is subjected to further processing, which may be vaporization by contact with an energy transfer means in order to isolate the beta-ketoester monomer. The present invention further compositions and products formed from methylene beta-ketoester monomers of the invention, including monomer-based products (e.g., inks, adhesives, coatings, sealants or reactive molding) and polymer-based products (e.g., fibers, films, sheets, medical polymers, composite polymers and surfactants).
