Abstract

Abstract Non-conjugated dienes are reacted with phenolic compounds in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst to produce poly(phenol/diene) copolymer resin having repeating alternate phenol and diene units, a number average molecular weight of 600-5000 and a glass transition temperature of 100°-220°C. The resin, and its partially or fully hydrogenated counterpart, can be blended with various rubbery polymers to provide adhesive compositions having improved adhesive tack.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim 131 words
A method for making poly(phenol/diene) resin having alternately repeating diene and phenol units, a glass transition temperature in the range of 100°-220°C and a number average molecular weight in the range 600-5000, said resin thus capable of being homogeneously blended into an adhesive composition and thereafter resisting oozing from said composition and thereby providing permanent improved adhesive tack in said composition, which method comprises: adding in an inert atmosphere and in the presence of an effective amount of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst, 1 mole of non-conjugated diene with 1-1.75 mole of a phenolic compound having at least two ring carbon atoms susceptible of alkylation, at a temperature between about 20° and 130°C and heating the mixture at a temperature of about 130°C until the reaction is complete, and isolating the resulting poly(phenol/diene)resin.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 131 words
A method for making poly(phenol/diene) resin having alternately repeating diene and phenol units, a glass transition temperature in the range of 100°-220°C and a number average molecular weight in the range 600-5000, said resin thus capable of being homogeneously blended into an adhesive composition and thereafter resisting oozing from said composition and thereby providing permanent improved adhesive tack in said composition, which method comprises: adding in an inert atmosphere and in the presence of an effective amount of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst, 1 mole of non-conjugated diene with 1-1.75 mole of a phenolic compound having at least two ring carbon atoms susceptible of alkylation, at a temperature between about 20° and 130°C and heating the mixture at a temperature of about 130°C until the reaction is complete, and isolating the resulting poly(phenol/diene)resin.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 28 words
The method of claim 1 including an additional step of hydrogenating at least half of the olefinic carbon atoms and carbon atoms bearing hydroxyl groups of said resin.
Claim 4
