Claims58
A curable formulation, the formulation comprising:
- a polythiol constituent;
- an alkene-containing and/or alkyne-containing constituent;
- and
- an epoxy-containing constituent.
1 more element
A cured formulation, the formulation comprising one or more reaction products of:
- a polythiol constituent;
- an alkene-containing and/or alkyne-containing constituent;
- and
- an epoxy-containing constituent.
1 more element
A method of making a cured formulation, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) mixing a polythiol constituent;
- an alkene-containing and/or alkyne-containing constituent;
- and an epoxy-containing constituent;
- (b) thermally aging the mixture;
- (c) adding an initiator or catalyst to the mixture of step (a);
- and
- (d) curing the mixture of step (c).
4 more elements
A method of printing a curable formulation, the method comprising the steps of:
- (a) printing a thermally aged curable formulation comprising a polythiol constituent;
- an alkene-containing and/or alkyne-containing constituent;
- and an epoxy-containing constituent;
- and
- (b) curing the printed formulation
- wherein the curing step is performed simultaneously with the printing of the thermally aged curable formulation of step (a).
3 more elements
A coating on a substrate, the coating comprising a cured formulation comprising one or more reaction products of:
- a polythiol constituent;
- an alkene-containing and/or alkyne-containing constituent;
- and
- an epoxy-containing constituent.
