Abstract
Abstract This invention relates to reactive polymers, e.g., aqueous emulsion polymers, having pendant flexible or dangling side chains prepared from ethylenically unsaturated carbodiimides, e.g., carbodiimide (meth)acrylates. The reactive polymers contain ethylenic unsaturation near the surface or in the surface area of the particles that form the polymers, the ethylenic unsaturation being connected to the polymer through the pendant flexible or dangling side chains. This invention also relates to the process for preparing the reactive polymers, to crosslinkable formulations based on the reactive polymers, and to thermoplastic and crosslinked films prepared from the reactive polymers. The reactive polymers are useful as decorative and functional coatings, inks, adhesives, textile coatings and sealants.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
53 words
A polymer having one or more pendant flexible side chains connected thereto, wherein said pendant flexible side chains contain ethylenic unsaturation and are connected to said polymer by an N-acyl urea linkage, said N-acyl urea linkage formed by the reaction of an ethylenically unsaturated carbodiimide with a carboxylic acid group on said polymer.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
53 words
A polymer having one or more pendant flexible side chains connected thereto, wherein said pendant flexible side chains contain ethylenic unsaturation and are connected to said polymer by an N-acyl urea linkage, said N-acyl urea linkage formed by the reaction of an ethylenically unsaturated carbodiimide with a carboxylic acid group on said polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
16 words
The polymer of claim 1 wherein the ethylenically unsaturated carbodiimide is one or more carbodiimide (meth)acrylates.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
32 words
The polymer of claim 2 wherein the carbodiimide (meth)acrylate is cyclohexyl carbodiimide ethyl methacrylate, t-butyl carbodiimide ethyl methacrylate, i-propyl carbodiimide ethyl methacrylate, phenyl carbodiimide ethyl methacrylate, carbodiimide di(ethyl methacrylate) or mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
18 words
The polymer of claim 2 wherein the carbodiimide (meth)acrylate is a mixture of carbodiimide acrylates and carbodiimide diacrylates.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
10 words
The polymer of claim 1 which is a reactive polymer.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
68 words
Polymer particle in an aqueous environment having one or more pendant flexible side chains connected thereto, wherein the pendant flexible side chains contain ethylenic unsaturation and are connected to the surface of the polymer particle by an N-acyl urea linkage, said N-acyl urea linkage formed by the reaction in an aqueous environment of an ethylenically unsaturated carbodiimide with carboxylic acid group on the surface of the polymer particle.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
68 words
Polymer particle in an aqueous environment having one or more pendant flexible side chains connected thereto, wherein the pendant flexible side chains contain ethylenic unsaturation and are connected to the surface of the polymer particle by an N-acyl urea linkage, said N-acyl urea linkage formed by the reaction in an aqueous environment of an ethylenically unsaturated carbodiimide with carboxylic acid group on the surface of the polymer particle.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
23 words
The polymer particle of claim 6 wherein the polymer particle comprises copolymers having number-average molecular weights of from about 1000 to about 1,000,000.
