Abstract
This invention relates to a solid particulate polymer comprising 1) a backbone containing (a) a plurality of moieties selected from the group consisting of alkylene, arylene, aralkylene, alkylarylene, cycloalkylene, alkyleneoxy, and polyalkyleneoxy; (b) a plurality of moieties selected from the group consisting of internal urea, thiourea, biuret and dithiobiuret; and 2) end groups selected from the group consisting of internal urea, thiourea, biuret and dithiobiuret. The particulate polymer dispersions can be used for preparing reinforced polymer matrices, especially where the matrix comprises urethane and/or urea linkages. The invention allows for the preparation of a particulate polymer without using organic polyisocyanate.
