Abstract
The invention discloses an adhesion agent composition comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted or unsubstituted; and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with a substrate surface. The substrate surface can be any surface, for example, silicate glasses, silicate minerals, metals, metal alloys, ceramics, natural stones, plastics, carbon, silicon, and semiconductors. The invention also discloses articles of manufacture utilizing these adhesion agents as well as methods for adhering a polyolefin to a substrate surface.
Claims42
An adhesion agent composition comprising:
- at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted or unsubstituted;
- and
- at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with a substrate surface.
A method for adhering a polyolefin resin to a substrate surface comprising:
- pretreating the substrate surface by applying an adhesive agent to the substrate surface, the adhesive agent comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted or unsubstituted;
- and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with the substrate surface;
- and
- applying the polyolefin resin to the pretreated surface in the presence of a metal carbene metathesis catalyst.
A method for adhering a polyolefin resin to a substrate surface comprising:
- contacting a polyolefin resin with an adhesion agent in the presence of a metal carbene metathesis catalyst to form a resin/agent mixture, the adhesion agent comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted or unsubstituted;
- and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with the substrate surface;
- and
- applying the mixture to the substrate surface.
An article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one polyolefin resin;
- at least one substrate surface;
- and
- at least one adhesion agent, the adhesion agent comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted or unsubstituted;
- and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with the substrate surface;
- wherein the polyolefin resin is adhered to the adhesion agent;
- and wherein the adhesion agent is adhered to the substrate surface.
