Abstract
The invention discloses an adhesion agent composition comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted or unsubstituted; and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with a substrate surface. The substrate surface can be any surface, for example, silicate glasses, silicate minerals, metals, metal alloys, ceramics, natural stones, plastics, carbon, silicon, and semiconductors. The invention also discloses articles of manufacture utilizing these adhesion agents as well as methods for adhering a polyolefin to a substrate surface.

A method for adhering a polyolefin resin to a substrate surface comprising:
- contacting a polyolefin resin or a polymerizable olefin composition with an adhesion agent in the presence of a metal carbene metathesis catalyst to form a polyolefin resin/agent mixture or a polymerizable olefin/agent mixture, the adhesion agent comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted-with a first moiety selected from the group consisting of thiol, thioether, ketone, aldehyde, ester, ether, amine, amide, nitro, carboxylic acid, disulfide, carbonate, isocyanate, phosphate, phosphite, sulfate, sulfite, sulfonyl, carbodiimide, carboalkoxy, carbamate, halogen, and pseudohalogen;
- and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with the substrate surface;
- and applying the mixture to the substrate surface.
An article of manufacture comprising:
- at least one polyolefin resin or a polymerized olefin composition;
- at least one substrate surface;
- and at least one adhesion agent, the adhesion agent comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted with a first moiety selected from the group consisting of thiol, thioether, ketone, aldehyde, ester, ether, amine, amide, nitro, carboxylic acid, disulfide, carbonate, isocyanate, phosphate, phosphite, sulfate, sulfite, sulfonyl, carbodiimide, carboalkoxy, carbamate, halogen, and pseudohalogen;
- and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with the substrate surface;
- wherein the polyolefin resin is adhered to the adhesion agent;
- and wherein the adhesion agent is adhered to the substrate surface.
An adhesion or coupling agent composition comprising:
- a polyolefin resin or a polymerizable olefin composition;
- an adhesion or coupling agent, comprising at least one C3-C200 olefin compound having at least one metathesis active double bond, wherein the olefin is substituted with a first moiety selected from the group consisting of thiol, thioether, ketone, aldehyde, ester, ether, amine, amide, nitro, carboxylic acid, disulfide, carbonate, isocyanate, phosphate, phosphite, sulfate, sulfite, sulfonyl, carbodiimide, carboalkoxy, carbamate, halogen, and pseudohalogen;
- and at least one compatibilizing functionality for interacting with a substrate surface;
- and
- a ruthenium or osmium carbene metathesis catalyst.
