Filed:

May 22, 2000

Appl. No.:

09/575284

Inventors:

Vincent D. McGinniss - Sunbury OH
Bhima R. Vijayendran - Upper Arlington OH
Michiharu Yamamoto - Osaka, JP

Assignee:

Nitto Denko Corporation - Osaka

International Classification:

C08F 832

US Classification:

525126

Abstract:

Disclosed is a method for preparing adhesive polymers which commences with the formation of a poly-telechelic polymer of narrow molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) by polymerizing one or more radically-polymerizable monomers in the presence of a transition metal, a ligand, and an initiator, under atom or group transfer radical polymerization conditions. In this polymerization step, OH groups are contained on one or more of said initiator, an initiating monomer, a polymerizable monomer, a terminating monomer, or combinations thereof. The poly-telechelic polymer, then, is chain extended with a polyisocyanate to form the adhesive polymer.

International Classification:

C08F 204

US Classification:

526328, 5263285, 5263297, 526931, 526942

Abstract:

Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) polymers, especially low T , high tack, nonpolar and polar polymers useful in formulating PSA can be solubilized or dispersed in a supercritical fluid (SCF), such as liquid CO or supercritical CO , using an organic cosolvent such as toluene. PSA polymers can be polymerized in SCF fluids to make unique adhesive products. Inclusion of a fluorinated reactant in the SCF polymerization process yields a PSA with improved resistance to mineral oil.

Abstract:

Functional optical materials for optical systems that are typically useful in optical waveguides, optical switching systems, optical modulators, optical computing systems and the like. Included are polymer systems and electrooptical chromophores. Polymers are thermoplastic and/or thermosetting polymers and are blended or co-polymerized with the electrooptic chromophore. The thermoplastic or thermosetting polymer selected from an acrylic/methacrylic, polyester, polyurethane, polyimide, polyamide, epoxy resin, or hybrid (organic-inorganic) or nanocomposite polyester polymer. The electrooptic chromophore is selected from a substituted aniline, substituted azobenzene, substituted stilbene, or substituted imine. Methods for improving adhesion promotion for the various novel materials are also provided.
