Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
126 words
A primary amine group-containing acrylic polymer prepared by free-radical polymerization of a reaction mixture comprising a primary amine group-containing copolymerizable vinyl monomer and at least one copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer characterized as free of primary amine groups wherein at least one copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer free of primary amine groups is further characterized as having a functional group reactive with an isocyanate group and the primary amine group-containing copolymerizable vinyl monomer is of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 is an alkylidene group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R 2 is a hydrogen or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 atoms; R 3 represents an aromatic hydrocarbon moiety; and R 4 is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
126 words
A primary amine group-containing acrylic polymer prepared by free-radical polymerization of a reaction mixture comprising a primary amine group-containing copolymerizable vinyl monomer and at least one copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer characterized as free of primary amine groups wherein at least one copolymerizable ethylenically unsaturated monomer free of primary amine groups is further characterized as having a functional group reactive with an isocyanate group and the primary amine group-containing copolymerizable vinyl monomer is of the formula: ##STR4## wherein R 1 is an alkylidene group having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms; R 2 is a hydrogen or an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 atoms; R 3 represents an aromatic hydrocarbon moiety; and R 4 is an alkyl radical having from 1 to 3 carbon atoms.
