Abstract
In an aspect, a curable composition comprises an acid catalyzed urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer comprising an acid catalyst; a cyanoacrylate monomer; a metallocene compound; a free radical polymerization inhibitor; and an acidic anionic polymerization inhibitor. In yet another aspect, a method of making a cured composition comprises forming the curable composition; and curing the curable composition by exposing it to light to form the cured composition.
Claims20
A curable composition comprising:
- an acid catalyzed urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer comprising an acid catalyst;
- a cyanoacrylate monomer;
- a metallocene compound;
- a free radical polymerization inhibitor;
- and
- an acidic anionic polymerization inhibitor.
A curable composition comprising:
- 0.1 to 30 wt % of an acid catalyzed urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer having a structure of at least one of Formula (1) or Formula (2) that was made with 0.05 to 6 wt % of an acid catalyst based on the total weight of the urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer:
- A-D-(PD)n-A (1)
- A-(PD)n-P-A (2)
- wherein each A independently is a monohydroxy functional (meth)acrylate group;
- each D independently is derived from a di- or tri-functional isocyanate group;
- each P independently is derived from a polyol having a weight average molecular weight of 50 to 12,000 Daltons based on polystyrene standards;
- and n is 10 to 100;
- 20 to 98 wt % of a cyanoacrylate monomer;
- 0.005 to 4 wt % of a metallocene compound;
- 0.001 to 1 wt % of a free radical polymerization inhibitor;
- and
- 0.01 to 0.1 wt % of an acidic anionic polymerization inhibitor.
A method of making a cured composition comprising:
- curing a curable composition by exposing it to light to form the cured composition;
- wherein the curable composition comprises
- an acid catalyzed urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer comprising an acid catalyst;
- a cyanoacrylate monomer;
- a metallocene compound;
- a free radical polymerization inhibitor;
- and
- an acidic anionic polymerization inhibitor.
