Abstract
Abstract In an improved adhesive process the amount of azidosilane coupling agent necessary to adhere a siliceous material to a polymer is reduced. The siliceous material, the azidosilane coupling agent and the polymer are admixed with an organosilicon compound and then heated at a temperature and for a time sufficient to decompose the azide groups of the azidosilane coupling agent. The reduction in the amount of azidosilane coupling agent is accomplished without adversely affecting the adhesion of the polymer to the siliceous material. Also disclosed are the products thus produced.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
118 words
In a process for adhering a polymer to a siliceous material by admixing the siliceous material, an azidosilane coupling agent and the polymer and then heating the admixture at a temperature and for a time sufficient to decompose the azide groups, the improvement of adding an organosilicon compound having the formula ##STR6## where n is an integer from 0 to 4 and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 , which may be the same or different, are selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, aralkyl, or lower alkoxides to, and then admixing with, the admixture prior to decomposing the azide groups of the azidosilane coupling agent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
118 words
In a process for adhering a polymer to a siliceous material by admixing the siliceous material, an azidosilane coupling agent and the polymer and then heating the admixture at a temperature and for a time sufficient to decompose the azide groups, the improvement of adding an organosilicon compound having the formula ##STR6## where n is an integer from 0 to 4 and R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 , which may be the same or different, are selected from the group consisting of lower alkyl, aralkyl, or lower alkoxides to, and then admixing with, the admixture prior to decomposing the azide groups of the azidosilane coupling agent.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
59 words
