International Classification:

C09J 133/08

Abstract:

A method of disposing an adhesive composition onto a first surface of a first substrate comprises: a) disposing a photoactivatable adhesive precursor composition onto at least a portion of the first surface of the first substrate according to a predetermined pattern, and b) exposing the photoactivatable adhesive precursor composition to actinic electromagnetic radiation, thereby providing an adhesive precursor composition that spontaneously cures to provide the adhesive composition. The photoactivatable adhesive precursor composition comprises: at least one free-radically polymerizable compound and a photoactivatable redox initiation system comprising: (i) at least one photoactivatable reducing agent precursor; (ii) at least one transition metal compound comprising at least one metal selected from groups 5 to 11 in the Periodic Table of the Elements; (iii) optional organic peroxide; and (iv) optional quaternary ammonium halide. An article preparable according to the method is also disclosed.

B29C 48/345
B29C 48/08

Abstract:

Coextruded polymeric article comprising first segments each having first and second opposed major surfaces and a thickness, the first segments comprising first material; second segments comprising second material, wherein adjacent first segments are joined together via a second segment, wherein at least 10 percent by number of the second segments extend from the second major surface past the first major surface of each first adjacent segment and has a distal end, the second segments having first and second opposed major surfaces, wherein there is a gap between adjacent second segments; and adhesive on the first and second major surfaces of at least every other second segment except a portion of the major surface adjacent to the respective distal end is free of the adhesive, wherein the first segments, second segments, and adhesive each extend continuously for at least 5 mm. Uses for coextruded polymeric articles described herein include adhesive articles and household cleaning products (e.g., as mops, dusters, brushes, cleaning cloths, and lint rollers).

C07D 239/62
C07D 405/12

Abstract:

The present disclosure provides a redox initiator system for initiating polymerization comprising an oxidizing agent, a photolabile reducing agent derived from a barbiturate, and a transition metal complex that participates in a redox cycle. On exposure to actinic radiation, such as UV, the photolabile compound photolyzes, releasing the reducing agent and initiating the redox-initiated polymerization.
