Abstract
A method and agent for improving polyurethane binder compositions are provided. The method comprises introducing into the polyurethane backbone a diol residue including a double bond therein. Preferably the double bond is positioned in a moiety pendant from the polyurethane backbone. In preferred compounds, the double bond-containing residue is introduced in sufficient quantities to provide at least one double bond every 2,000-3,000 molecular weight units of polymer. Preferred agents include acrylate-, methacrylate-, acrylamide-, norbornenyl-, and cyclohexenyl-groups. Preferred compositions, both cured and uncured, are provided. Also, use of such a composition in magnetic recording media is described.
