Abstract
Abstract Thermoset polymers are prepared by reacting an ethylenically unsaturated resin monomer and a bicyclic amide acetal with a polyisocyanate in the absence or presence of a vinyl monomer. Reaction rates are suitable for effecting RIM processing. The resultant polymers exhibit improved impact resistance. Further variation in physical properties can be achieved through the use of a diol chain extender for the polyisocyanate.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
149 words
An interconnected polymer comprising the substantially insoluble and infusible cured polymerization reaction product of (1) a polyisocyanate, (2) a bicyclic amide acetal corresponding to the formula: ##STR4## Wherein R is H or alkyl; R 1 and R 2 is H, alkyl, aryl or alkoxy; and R 3 is alkyl, alkaryl or aryl and (3) a hydroxy group bearing free radically polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer, containing at least one vinyl group of the formula: ##STR5## where Y is ##STR6## R is hydrogen, an alkyl group or an aryl group, R' and R" are independently an alkylene group or an alkylene ether group having from 2 to 10% carbon atoms, and n is an integer from 1 to 10 and therein the isocyanate index of the resin-forming reaction mixture is between about 0.8 and 3 and wherein the relative weight ratio of (2) and (3) is from 1:99 to 50:50, respectively.
