Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
163 words
The process comprising reacting a mixture of a bicyclic amide acetal, an epoxy resin and a polyisocyanate at a temperature in the range of from about room temperature up to about 200° C. and at a pressure in the range of from about atmospheric up to about 100 atmospheres, wherein there is employed from 1 to 50% by weight of the total reactants of the bicyclic amide acetal, from 5 to 50% by weight of the total reactants of an eposide resin and from 0.8:1 to 3:1 equivalents of the polyisocyanate per combined equivalents of the bicyclic amide acetal and epoxy resin and wherein the bicyclic amide acetal corresponds to the formula ##STR3## wherein R, R' and R"' each independently represents hydrogen or an alkyl, an aryl, alkaryl or an ether group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and R" represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
163 words
The process comprising reacting a mixture of a bicyclic amide acetal, an epoxy resin and a polyisocyanate at a temperature in the range of from about room temperature up to about 200° C. and at a pressure in the range of from about atmospheric up to about 100 atmospheres, wherein there is employed from 1 to 50% by weight of the total reactants of the bicyclic amide acetal, from 5 to 50% by weight of the total reactants of an eposide resin and from 0.8:1 to 3:1 equivalents of the polyisocyanate per combined equivalents of the bicyclic amide acetal and epoxy resin and wherein the bicyclic amide acetal corresponds to the formula ##STR3## wherein R, R' and R"' each independently represents hydrogen or an alkyl, an aryl, alkaryl or an ether group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and R" represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
20 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the epoxy resin is a polyepoxide having at least two epoxy groups per molecule.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
18 words
The process of claim 2 wherein the polyisocyanate is one having at least two isocyanate groups per molecule.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
42 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the bicyclic amide acetal is one in which R, R' and R'" are H and R" is CH 3 , the epoxy resin is the diglycidyl ether of bis-phenol-A, and the polyisocyanate is 4,4'-methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate).
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
43 words
The process of claim 3 wherein the bicyclic amide acetal is one in which R, R' and R'" are H and R" is CH 3 , the epoxy resin is the diglycidyl ether of polypropylene glycol and the polyisocyanate is 4,4'-methylene bis(phenyl isocyanate).
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
9 words
The composition produced by the process of claim 1.
