Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to the preparation of polymers bearing reactive functional groups. More particularly, this invention relates to the preparation of polymers containing functional acetoacetate groups and then following the polymerization reacting the acetoacetate group with a functional amine to form an enamine. Polymers of the present invention have many uses including coatings, sealants, adhesives and saturant applications, and are most useful as solutions or dispersions in water or water-cosolvent mixtures.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
55 words
A process comprising reacting an acetoacetate-functional polymer with a compound which has primary amine and at least one divalent group selected from the group consisting of C 2 to C 18 alkyl, and alkoxyl and polyalkoxyl chains having molecular weights of from about 72 to about 400,000 at conditions which favor formation of the enamine.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
55 words
A process comprising reacting an acetoacetate-functional polymer with a compound which has primary amine and at least one divalent group selected from the group consisting of C 2 to C 18 alkyl, and alkoxyl and polyalkoxyl chains having molecular weights of from about 72 to about 400,000 at conditions which favor formation of the enamine.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
29 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the compound is selected from the group consisting of mercaptoethyl amine, taurine, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethyoxysilane, polyoxypropyleneamine, polyoxyethyleneamine, 2-aminoethylethyleneurea, 2-dimethylaminoethylamine, amino acids, allylamine, and 4-amino-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
35 words
The process of claim 1 wherein the amount of compound can be varied over a range of from about 0.1 equivalence to about 1.5 equivalence of amine, based on the amount of acetoacetate functional group.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process comprising reacting a water-insoluble acetoacetate-functional emulsion polymer with an amine functional polyethylene oxide at conditions which favor the formation of the enamine to produce a water-soluble polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A process comprising reacting a water-insoluble acetoacetate-functional emulsion polymer with an amine functional polyethylene oxide at conditions which favor the formation of the enamine to produce a water-soluble polymer.
