A composition including a (poly)isocyanate compound and a capped poly(arylene ether) copolymer, wherein the capped poly(arylene ether) copolymer is derived from reacting a capping agent and an uncapped poly(arylene ether) copolymer comprising a phenolic end group, the uncapped poly(arylene ether) copolymer is the product of oxidative copolymerization of a monomer comprising a monohydric phenol, a dihydric phenol, or a combination thereof, and optionally a hydroxyaromatic terminated siloxane, and the capped poly(arylene ether) copolymer comprises an end group comprising an aliphatic alcohol.

Poly(arylene ether) compositions

This invention relates to a process for making phenolic fatty acid compounds having a reduced phenolic ester content. The invention also relates to method for chemically bonding a phenolic resin with a non-phenolic polymer (e.g., a synthetic fabric). The method comprises contacting a phenolic fatty acid compound with a non-phenolic polymer to introduce a hydroxy phenyl functional group into the non-phenolic polymer; and reacting the hydroxy phenyl functional group contained in the non-phenolic polymer with a phenolic resin or a phenolic crosslinker composition capable of forming a phenolic resin, to chemically bond the phenolic resin with the non-phenolic polymer. The invention is particularly useful for making a synthetic fabric-reinforced article, such as synthetic fabric-reinforced rubber article, circuit board substrate, or fiberglass.

The invention relates to an in-situ process for preparing an alkylphenol-aldehyde resin. The process comprises the step of providing a raw alkylphenol composition. The raw alkylphenol composition comprises one or more alkylphenol compounds and at least about 1 wt % phenol. Each alkylphenol compound has one or more alkyl substituents. The raw alkylphenol composition is reacted directly, without pre-purification, with one or more aldehydes to form an in-situ alkylphenol-aldehyde resin. The invention also relates to an in-situ alkylphenol-aldehyde resin formed from the in-situ process, and its use in a tackifier composition and rubber composition. The tackifier composition and rubber composition containing the in-situ alkylphenol-aldehyde resin show, inter alia, improved tack performance.

In-situ alkylphenol-aldehyde resins

This invention relates to a phenolic resin composition comprising a phenolic resin admixed with and/or modified by one or more functionalized organosulfur compounds. This invention also relates to a rubber composition comprising (i) a natural rubber, a synthetic rubber, or a mixture thereof; (ii) one or more phenolic resins; and (iii) one or more functionalized organosulfur compounds. The interaction between the component (i) and the components (ii) and (iii) reduces the hysteresis increase compared to a rubber composition without the component (iii), upon curing the rubber composition. The invention also relates to a process for preparing the phenolic resin composition, a process for preparing the rubber composition, and a process for reducing the hysteresis increase caused in a rubber composition when a phenolic resin is added to a rubber composition.

Methods of using phenolic fatty acid compound on a non-phenolic polymer

The invention relates to a process for improving the stability of a base-modified alkylphenol-aldehyde resin (such as an amine-modified alkylphenol-aldehyde resin). The process comprises the step of reacting a base-modified alkylphenol-aldehyde resin with a salicylic acid to stabilize the base-modified alkylphenol-aldehyde resin. The invention also relates to a modified alkylphenol-aldehyde resin formed from the stabilizing process, and its use in a tackifier composition and rubber composition.

This invention relates to processes for preparing novolak resins and using the same as reinforcing resins. One process comprises reacting one or more alkylphenols with an aldehyde in the presence of a base to form a resole resin, wherein for each mole of alkylphenol at least 1.5 moles of aldehyde are reacted; and reacting the resole resin with one or more phenolic compounds in the presence of an acidic catalyst to form a novolac resin, wherein for each mole of alkylphenol at least 1.5 moles of the phenolic compounds are reacted. Another process comprises reacting one or more alkylphenols with an aldehyde in the presence of a base to form a resole resin, and reacting the resole resin with one or more phenolic compounds under an elevated temperature to form a novolac resin.

Modified phenolic resins and methods of making and using the same as reinforcing resins

Coating compositions can be prepared from an acrylic grafted polyether resin, wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin has a molecular weight greater than about 500, and wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin does not comprise two or more non-impaired hydroxyl groups attached to two or more different five-membered or six-membered carbon atom rings in a segment having a molecular weight less than about 500. The acrylic grafted polyether resin can be prepared by reacting a dihydroxyl compound and/or a diamine compound with a phenol stearic acid compound to produce a diphenol, reacting the diphenol with a diglycidyl ether compound to form a polyether resin, and mixing the polyether resin with an ethylenically unsaturated monomer component in the presence of an initiator to form the acrylic grafted polyether resin.

An athletic shoe coating for traction enhancement includes a pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) and a tackyfying resin and a film former initially in solution within a solvent suitable for application to the surface of a shoe sole in liquid form, such as by spraying, rolling and brushing the solution onto the shoe sole. After the solvent evaporates a film or coating attaches or is bonded to the shoe sole that exhibits the property of dynamically modifying the traction properties of the shoe sole when pressure and shear forces are applied to the coating. Such modification causes the exterior surface of the film or coating to 'refresh' the exposed surface upon impact. This imparts continued tackiness over extended use. Impact modifiers may be added for controlled release of a solvent to temporarily dissolve or soften the film or coating to promote such refreshment of the coating outer surface.

Coating compositions can be prepared from a polyether resin, wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the polyether resin has a molecular weight greater than about 500, and wherein the smallest difunctional hydroxyl phenyl segment used to form the polyether resin does not comprise two or more non-impaired hydroxyl groups attached to two or more different five-membered or six-membered carbon atom rings in a segment having a molecular weight less than about 500. The polyether resin can be prepared by reacting a dihydroxyl compound and/or a diamine compound with a phenol stearic acid compound to produce a diphenol, and reacting the diphenol with a diglycidyl ether compound to form the polyether resin.

Shoe soles with and without removable/replaceable gripping pods for athletic or sport shoes are provided with enhanced traction. The sole portions or gripping pods may be provided with a supply of a substance that exhibits a tackiness for enhancing friction between the shoe sole and the any hard floor. The tackiness-enhancing substance may be time-released or discharged from within the shoe sole onto the lower surface(s) of the sole that make(s) contact with the smooth hard playing surface or may be in response to compression or shear forces acting on the sole during play to prolong the tacky properties and reduce slippage. A visual indicator may be provided for notifying the player that it is time to replace the worn or used pod and insert a fresh pod or insert into the pod(s) to maintain high levels of gripping.
