Abstract

Abstract An aqueous emulsion is claimed, which crosslinks by a Michael addition reaction, yielding a crosslinked silicon modified organic composition upon removal of water. The aqueous emulsion comprises the product formed by mixing a polymer containing at least two Michael acceptor groups per polymer molecule, water, a surfactant and an effective amount of a crosslinker containing sufficient reactive hydrogen atoms of a Michael donor per crosslinker molecule or a precursor thereto. To obtain a crosslinked silicon modified organic composition upon the removal of water, the polymer or the crosslinker must contain at least one silicon atom. Our invention also includes a method for making these emulsions.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 228 words
An aqueous emulsion, yielding a crosslinked silicon modified organic composition upon removal of water, said emulsion comprising a product formed by mixing (A) a polymer selected from a modified organic polymer or a silicon modified organic polymer, each polymer molecule having at least 2 acceptor groups individually selected from the group consisting of CH 2 =CR 1 COR 2 -, CH 2 =CR 1 COOR 2 -, CH 2 =CR 1 CONHR 2 - and CH 2 =CR 1 CR 1 =CR 2 -, where R 1 is individually selected from hydrogen atom or monovalent, aliphatic hydrocarbon radicals having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms and R 2 is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having from 2 to 15 carbon atoms; (B) water; (C) a surfactant; and (D) an effective amount of a crosslinker selected from silicon containing crosslinker or non-silicon containing crosslinker, the crosslinker having sufficient reactive hydrogen atoms per crosslinker molecule or a precursor thereto, wherein the reactive hydrogen atoms are covalently bonded to a nitrogen or sulfur atom of a donor group selected from the group consisting of -SH, -NH 2 and -NHR 3 , where R 3 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms; provided, the polymer or the crosslinker contains at least one silicon atom so the emulsion yields said crosslinked silicon modified organic composition upon removal of water.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 41 words
The emulsion of claim 1 wherein the polymer is a silicon modified organic polymer and the effective amount of crosslinker is an amount providing at least a stoichiometric equivalent of reactive hydrogen atoms relative to the acceptor groups on the polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 99 words
The emulsion of claim 2 wherein the silicon modified organic polymer is formed by copolymerizing an organic monomer and either a copolymerizable silane, a copolymerizable silazane or a copolymerizable siloxane to produce an organic polymer having silanol groups pendant along the polymer chain, and then by condensing the silanol groups with a hydrolyzable silane functionalized with at least one acceptor group in the presence of a tin catalyst to form an organic polymer having acceptor groups pendant along the polymer chain that are bonded to the polymer through a siloxane bond; and the crosslinker is a silicon containing compound.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 239 words
The emulsion of claim 3 wherein 0.1 to 20% by weight of the polymer comprises acceptor groups having the formula CH 2 =CR 1 COOR 2 - where R 1 is hydrogen atom or a methyl radical and R 2 is a propylene radical; the crosslinker is selected from siliconates having the formula (M + O - ) m Si(OH) 3-m (R'NH 2-a R a 3 ) or (M + O - ) n Si(OH) 2-n (R'NH 2-a R a 3 )R'', where M is individually selected from alkali metal cations, a phosphonium group or an ammonium group; R' is a divalent hydrocarbon radical having from 3 to 8 carbon atoms, one valence attached to the silicon atom and one valence attached to a NH 2-a R a 3 group, where a is 0 or 1 and R 3 is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms; R'' is a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having 1 to 8 carbon atoms; m is a whole or fractional number from 0.1 to 3 and n is a whole or fractional number from 0.1 to 2, and (CH 3 O) 2 SiCH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 SH or H 2 NCHCH 3 CH 2 (OCH 2 CHCH 3 ) 3 NH 2 ; and the effective amount of crosslinker is an amount providing a stoichiometric excess of reactive hydrogen atoms relative to the acceptor groups on the polymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 96 words
The emulsion of claim 4 wherein R 1 of the acceptor group is hydrogen and the crosslinker is selected from a siliconate having the formula (M + O - ) n Si(OH) 2-n (R'NH 2-a R a 3 )R'', where M is Na + or K + , R' is a propylene group, a is 0, R'' is a methyl radical and n is from 0.5 to 1, and (CH 3 O) 2 SiCH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 SH or H 2 NCHCH 3 CH 2 (OCH 2 CHCH 3 ) 3 NH 2 .
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 60 words
The emulsion of claim 5 wherein the crosslinker is NaO(OH)SiCH 3 (CH 2 ) 3 NH 2 ; the acceptor groups comprise 1 to 3 percent by weight of the polymer and the effective amount of crosslinker is an amount providing a 2 to 10 fold stoichiometric excess of reactive hydrogen atoms relative to the acceptor groups on the polymer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 10 words
The emulsion of claim 6 and further comprising a filler.
