Abstract
Abstract Vulcanizable polymeric compositions comprising certain rubbery polymers or polymer blends, a zinc dimethacrylate adjuvant having a surface area of from about 3.7 to about 5.4 m2/g or more and a peroxide curing agent are provided. Polymeric compositions which contain 25 parts by weight or more of the zinc dimethacrylate adjuvant per 100 parts by weight of rubbery polymer in the absence of reinforcing fillers exhibit excellent strength and hysteresis characteristics when cured. The surface area of the zinc dimethacrylate adjuvant along with its method of preparation are extremely important factors in the excellent properties obtained when polymeric compositions containing the adjuvant are cured.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
102 words
A method of preparing a zinc dimethacrylate powder having a surface area of from about 3.7 to about 5.4 m 2 /g which comprises: (a) reacting under agitation zinc oxide and methacrylic acid in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 0.6 moles of zinc oxide per mole of methacrylic acid in a liquid aliphatic hydrocarbon dispersing medium to produce particles of zinc dimethyacrylate in the liquid medium; (b) recovering said particles of zinc dimethacrylate from said liquid medium by filtration or evaporation of the liquid medium; and (c) drying said particles of zinc dimethacrylate to produce said zinc dimethacrylate powder.
Claim 2
Independent Claim
102 words
A method of preparing a zinc dimethacrylate powder having a surface area of from about 3.7 to about 5.4 m 2 /g which comprises: (a) reacting under agitation zinc oxide and methacrylic acid in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 0.6 moles of zinc oxide per mole of methacrylic acid in a liquid aliphatic hydrocarbon dispersing medium to produce particles of zinc dimethyacrylate in the liquid medium; (b) recovering said particles of zinc dimethacrylate from said liquid medium by filtration or evaporation of the liquid medium; and (c) drying said particles of zinc dimethacrylate to produce said zinc dimethacrylate powder.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
23 words
The method of claim 1 further comprising the steps comprising the steps of breaking up the powder and passing it through a sieve.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the zinc oxide and methacrylic acid are reacted at room temperature.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein a nonionic surfactant is included in the liquid aliphatic hydrocarbon dispersing medium.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
14 words
The method of claim 4 wherein the nonionic surfactant is an alkylaryl polyether alcohol.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
12 words
The method of claim 1 wherein the liquid aliphatic hydrocarbon is hexane.
