Abstract
Novel polymers having excellent physical properties including heat distortion temperatures and izod impact strengths are prepared by the interaction of bicyclic amide acetals with epoxide resins and polyisocyanates.
Claims6
The process comprising reacting a mixture of a bicyclic amide acetal, an epoxy resin and a polyisocyanate at a temperature in the range of from about room temperature up to about 200.degree. C. and at a pressure in the range of from about atmospheric up to about 100 atmospheres, wherein there is employed from 1 to 50% by weight of the total reactants of the bicyclic amide acetal, from 5 to 50% by weight of the total reactants of an eposide resin and from 0.8:1 to 3:1 equivalents of the polyisocyanate per combined equivalents of the bicyclic amide acetal and epoxy resin and wherein the bicyclic amide acetal corresponds to the formula ##STR3## wherein R, R' and R"' each independently represents hydrogen or an alkyl, an aryl, alkaryl or an ether group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms and R" represents an alkyl group having from 1 to 18 carbon atoms or an aralkyl group having from 7 to 20 carbon atoms.
