Nanostructured hybrid oligomer composition

Abstract

A nanostructured hybrid liquid oligomer composition including at least one epoxy-functional component (A), at least one cyclic carbonate component (B), at least one amine-functional component (C), and, optionally, at least one acrylate (methacrylate) functional component (D), wherein at least one epoxy, amine, or acrylate (methacrylate) component contains alkoxysilane units. The composition is highly curable at low temperatures (approximately 10 to 30° C.) with forming of nanostructure under the influence of atmospheric moisture and the forming of active, specific hydroxyl groups by reaction of cyclic carbonates with amine functionalities. According to the present invention, the cured composition has excellent strength-stress properties, adhesion to a variety of substrates, appearance, and resistance to weathering, abrasion, and solvents.
