Abstract
Abstract Sheets, such as films and gasket material, and coatings which are adhesive in nature can be made from a thermoplastic polymer by plasticizing the polymer with an anaerobic adhesive, i.e., a mixture of a polymerizable liquid acrylate ester monomer and a peroxy polymerization initiator.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
81 words
An adhesive thermoplastic composition which comprises a normally nonflowable thermoplastic polymer having dissolved therein from about 5 percent to about 80 percent by weight of said composition of a liquid adhesive system comprising a mixture of a polymerizable acrylate ester monomer and from about 0.1 percent to about 20 percent by weight of said mixture of a peroxy polymerization initiator for said monomer, said liquid adhesive system being present in an amount insufficient to render the composition flowable at 75* F.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
278 words
An adhesive thermoplastic composition which consists essentially of from about 20 percent to about 95 percent by weight of said composition of a normally nonflowable thermoplastic polymer, and dissolved in said polymer from about 5 percent to about 80 percent by weight of the composition of a liquid adhesive system consisting essentially of a mixture of a polymerizable acrylate ester monomer and from about 0.1 to about 10 percent by weight of said mixture of a hydroperoxy polymerization initiator for said monomer, said liquid adhesive system being used in an amount which is insufficient to render the composition flowable at 75* F., and said thermoplastic polymer being selected from the classes consisting of the following: (a) acrylate polymers having an average molecular weight between about 5,000 and 500,000; (b) cellulose esters having an average molecular weight between about 50,000 and about 500,000; (c) butadiene-styrene copolymers having an average molecular weight between about 5,000 and about 500,000; (d) acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene copolymers having an average molecular weight between about 5,000 and about 100,000; (e) vinyl chloride polymers having an average molecular weight between about 10,000 and about 500,000; (f) copolymers of either vinyl chloride or vinylidine chloride with vinyl acetate, having an average molecular weight between about 10,000 and about 500,000; (g) cellulose ethers having an average molecular weight between about 50,000 and about 500,000; (h) vinyl acetate polymers, and hydrolysis derivatives thereof, having an average molecular weight between about 12,000 and about 50,000; (i) linear polyesters having an average molecular weight between about 3,000 and about 10,000; (j) linear polyurethanes having an average molecular weight between about 3,000 and about 50,000; and (k) mixtures of any of (a) through (j).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim

Claim 5
Dependent Claim
14 words
The composition of claim 5 wherein the polymerizable acrylate ester has the general formula
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
24 words
