Resin compositions and methods of production

A resin composition comprising:

• (i) an organic resin containing at least one carboxylic acid ester or ether functional group;
• and
• (ii) a moisture-curable silylated polycarbonate resin of the general formula (I):
• wherein:
• G is a moiety of general structure (II):
• in which
• each R1 is independently an alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms;
• each R2 is independently an alkyl group of from 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl group;
• each R3 is independently an alkylene group of from 1 to 12 carbon atoms;
• each R4 is independently an alkyl group of from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, phenyl group, hydrogen or —R3SiR23-a(OR1)a group;
• each R5 is independently a divalent organic group selected from the group consisting of an alkylene group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, a cycloalkylene group having 5 to 16 carbon atoms and the group X1 having the general formula (III):
• each R6 is independently an alkylene group of from 1 to 12 carbon atoms or a cycloalkylene group of from 5 to 16 carbon atoms;
• each R7 is an alkylene group of from 2 to 12 carbon atoms;
• each R8 is an alkylene group of from 2 to 12 carbon atoms;
• each R9 is independently R7 or R8;
• each R10 is independently a divalent organic group selected from the group consisting of an alkylene group of from 1 to 12 carbon atoms, a cycloalkylene group of from 5 to 16 carbon atoms, X1 and the group X2 having the general formula (IV):
• and,
• subscripts a, b, c, m and n are integers wherein a is 1 to 3;
• b is 0 or 1;
• c is 0 to 5;
• m is 1 to 100;
• and, n is 0 to 100, with the provisos that when b is 0, R4 is hydrogen;
• when n is 0, R7 is a branched alkylene group of from 3 to 12 carbon atoms;
• and, when n is 1 to 100, R7 and R8 are different alkylene groups, wherein the moisture-curable silylated polycarbonate resin (ii) is soluble within the organic resin (i).
