Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
59 words
A curing catalyst for polycyanate esters of polyhydric phenols comprising a liquid solution of a metal acetylacetonate in an alkylphenol wherein the metal is a coordinating metal and wherein the alkylphenol has 1 or 2 alkyl substituents ortho or para to the phenol group and wherein the alkyl groups contain a total of one to about 22 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
59 words
A curing catalyst for polycyanate esters of polyhydric phenols comprising a liquid solution of a metal acetylacetonate in an alkylphenol wherein the metal is a coordinating metal and wherein the alkylphenol has 1 or 2 alkyl substituents ortho or para to the phenol group and wherein the alkyl groups contain a total of one to about 22 carbon atoms.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
25 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein about 0.01 to about 25 weight percent metal acetylacetonate is present based on the total weight of the catalyst.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
24 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the coordinating metal is a transition metal having nine or more electrons in its next-to-outermost shell or aluminum.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
33 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the coordinating metal is selected from the group consisting of divalent copper, manganese, tin, lead, cobalt and nickel, trivalent iron, cobalt, manganese and aluminum, and tetravelent titanium.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
12 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the metal acetylacetonate is copper acetylacetonate.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
21 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the alkylphenol is selected from the group consisting of nonylphenol, dodecylphenol, o-cresol, 2-sec.butylphenol and 2,6-dinonylphenol.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
10 words
The catalyst of claim 1 wherein the alkylphenol is nonylphenol.
