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.
Claims19
A method for adhering a polyolefin resin to a substrate surface comprising:
- pre-treating the substrate surface by applying an adhesion agent to the substrate surface, 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 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 polyolefin resin to the pre-treated surface in the presence of the metal carbene metathesis catalyst.
A method for adhering a polyolefin resin to a substrate surface comprising:
- pre-treating the substrate surface by applying an adhesion agent to the substrate surface, the adhesion agent 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 the substrate surface;
- and applying the polyolefin resin to the pretreated surface in the presence of the metal carbene metathesis catalyst, wherein the compatibilizing functionality is selected from metal and silyl halides, ethers, alkoxides, substituted or unsubstituted C3-C200 terminal olefins, aldehydes, carboxylic and mineral acids, boranes, alanes, amines, phosphines, phosphine oxides, carboxylates, thioethers, alcohols, organotitanates, organoaluminates, or organozirconates.
