Abstract
Described herein are alkoxylated polymers suitable for use in primers, inks or coating compositions. The alkoxylated polymers derive from a polyalkylene glycol polymer or copolymer backbone having one or more alkoxylated sites in a non-reactive form and at least one reactive terminal end, and one or more polyfunctional monomers or oligomers having two or more functional polar groups with an active hydrogen, or mixtures thereof, wherein the alkoxylated polymer is polymerized in a one step process. Primers, inks or coating compositions are further described.
Claims31
An alkoxylated polymer deriving from components comprising:
- a polyalkylene glycol polymer or copolymer backbone having one or more alkoxylated sites in a non-reactive form and at least one reactive terminal end;
- and
- one or more polyfunctional monomers or oligomers having two or more functional polar groups with an active hydrogen, or mixtures thereof,
- wherein the alkoxylated polymer is polymerized in a one step process, wherein the polyalkylene glycol component is selected from copolymers and terpolymers of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polybutylene glycol.
A method of forming an alkoxylated in one polymerization step, comprising:
- polymerizing, in one step, a backbone-forming polyalkylene glycol polymer or copolymer having one or more alkoxylated sites in non-reactive form and at least one reactive terminal end with one or more polyfunctional monomers or oligomers having two or more functional polar groups with an active hydrogen, or mixtures thereof, wherein the polyalkylene glycol component is selected from copolymers and terpolymers of polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol, and polybutylene glycol.
