Abstract
A crosslinkable polymer composition includes repeating units of formula (I) and repeating units derived from a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group and a crosslinkable functional group, wherein the crosslinkable functional group is capable of forming a covalent linkage with a crosslinkable functional group of an adjacent repeating unit. R1 and R2 are as defined herein. The crosslinkable polymer composition can be particularly useful, for example, for pressure sensitive adhesive or coating compositions. A method of making the polymer composition and a pressure sensitive adhesive and a coating are also described.
Claims15
A crosslinkable polymer composition comprising
- a first polymer comprising repeating units of formula (I)
- and
- repeating units derived from a monomer comprising an ethylenically unsaturated group and a crosslinkable functional group, wherein the crosslinkable functional group is capable of forming a covalent linkage with a second crosslinkable functional group of an adjacent repeating unit, a crosslinker, or both, when pressure is applied to the crosslinkable polymer composition, a time sufficient to cure the crosslinkable polymer composition has passed, or both;
- wherein in formula (I),
- R1 is independently at each occurrence hydrogen or methyl;
- and
- R2 is independently at each occurrence a C4-12 alkyl group or a group of the formula
- wherein R5 is hydrogen or methyl and n is an integer from 1 to 230.
