Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
90 words
A copolymer formed by polymerizing at least two different ethylenically unsaturated constituents, each of said constituents having two chain carbon atoms wherein a first of said ethylenically unsaturated constituents is linked with a carboxylic acid moiety through an oxygen atom of said acid moiety, said acid moiety having an α-position carbon atom which is substituted with an acrylic or methacrylic acid moiety; and a second of said constituents having an alkoxysilyl moiety linked to one of the chain carbon atoms of said second constitutent directly or through a group ##STR4##
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
90 words
A copolymer formed by polymerizing at least two different ethylenically unsaturated constituents, each of said constituents having two chain carbon atoms wherein a first of said ethylenically unsaturated constituents is linked with a carboxylic acid moiety through an oxygen atom of said acid moiety, said acid moiety having an α-position carbon atom which is substituted with an acrylic or methacrylic acid moiety; and a second of said constituents having an alkoxysilyl moiety linked to one of the chain carbon atoms of said second constitutent directly or through a group ##STR4##
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
30 words
The copolymer of claim 1, further comprising a third constituent containing two chain carbon atoms and being joined neither to a halogen carboxylic acid moiety nor to an alkoxysilyl group.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
28 words
The copolymer of claim 2 wherein said third constituent is carboxylic acid vinyl ester; maleic acid, its esters or anhydride; or acrylic or methacrylic acid or its esters.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
26 words
The copolymer of claim 3 further comprising a fourth constituent with two carbon atoms in the chain and rendering the polymer water soluble or water emulsifiable.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
106 words
An adhesivizing agent for mediating adhesion between inorganic oxide material and polymers comprising a copolymer formed by polymerizing at least two different constituents, each having two chain carbon atoms; a first of said constituents being linked to a carboxylic acid moiety through an oxygen atom of said carboxylic acid moiety, said acid moiety having a substituted carbon atom in α-position to said carboxylic acid moiety, said substituted carbon atom being substituted by an acrylic or methacrylic acid moiety; and a second of said constitutents having an alkoxysilyl moiety linked to one of the chain carbon atoms of said second constituent directly or through a group ##STR5##
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
106 words
An adhesivizing agent for mediating adhesion between inorganic oxide material and polymers comprising a copolymer formed by polymerizing at least two different constituents, each having two chain carbon atoms; a first of said constituents being linked to a carboxylic acid moiety through an oxygen atom of said carboxylic acid moiety, said acid moiety having a substituted carbon atom in α-position to said carboxylic acid moiety, said substituted carbon atom being substituted by an acrylic or methacrylic acid moiety; and a second of said constitutents having an alkoxysilyl moiety linked to one of the chain carbon atoms of said second constituent directly or through a group ##STR5##
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
31 words
The adhesivizing agent of claim 5, further comprising a third constituent containing two chain carbon atoms and being joined neither to a halogen carboxylic acid moiety nor to an alkoxysilyl group.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
The adhesivizing agent of claim 6, wherein said third constituent is carboxylic acid vinyl ester; maleic acid, its esters or anhydride; or acrylic or methacrylic acid or its ester.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
The adhesivizing agent of claim 7, further comprising a fourth constituent with two carbon atoms in the chain and being operable to lend the polymer water solubility or water emulsifiability.
