Film-Initiated Cure Of Structural Adhesive Film

View page
US Patent:
20210102095, Apr 8, 2021
Filed:
Feb 8, 2019
Appl. No.:
15/733471
Inventors:
- St. Paul MN, US
Alexander J. Kugel - Woodbury MN, US
Kai U. Claussen - , US
Rachna Khurana - Inver Grove Heights MN, US
Dean M. Moren - North St. Paul MN, US
Erik M. Townsend - South St. Paul MN, US
International Classification:
C09J 7/38
C09J 7/10
C09J 11/04
C09J 5/04
Abstract:
Curable adhesive free-standing films and adhesive systems comprising such films are provided. In some embodiments, a curable adhesive free-standing film comprises a blend of: a) a first film-forming polymer or oligomer; b) a first species comprising first unsaturated free-radically polymerizable groups, which may be a) or a species other than a); c) a first transition metal cation; d) a reducing agent; and no oxidizing agent. In some embodiments, an adhesive system comprises: I) a first curable adhesive free-standing film as described preceding; and II) a second curable adhesive free-standing film comprising a blend of: e) a second film-forming polymer or oligomer; f) a second species comprising second unsaturated free-radically polymerizable groups, which may be e) or may be a species other than e); and g) an oxidizing agent. In some embodiments, the curable adhesive free-standing films may be pressure sensitive adhesives prior to cure. Methods of use are provided.

US Patent:
20210102097, Apr 8, 2021
Filed:
Feb 8, 2019
Appl. No.:
15/733470
Inventors:
- St. Paul MN, US
Alexander J. Kugel - Woodbury MN, US
Kai U. Claussen - Muenchen, US
Rachna Khurana - Inver Grove Heights MN, US
Dean M. Moren - North St. Paul MN, US

International Classification:
C09J 7/50
C09J 7/35
C09J 7/20
C08K 3/10
C08K 5/14
Abstract:
Curable adhesive films, primers for adhesion of curable adhesive films, and adhesive systems comprising adhesive films and primers are provided. In some embodiments, an adhesive system comprises: I) a curable adhesive free-standing film comprising a blend of: a) a first film-forming polymer or oligomer; b) a first species comprising first unsaturated free-radically polymerizable groups, which may be a) or a species other than a); and c) a first transition metal cation; and II) a primer for adhesion of a curable adhesive free-standing film to a first substrate comprising an oxidizing agent. In some embodiments, an adhesive system comprises: I) a curable adhesive free-standing film comprising an outer surface bearing embossed air bleed channels capable of aiding in escape of air during application of the outer surface to a primed substrate; and II) a primer comprising components that initiate cure of the curable adhesive free-standing film.

US Patent:
20160276706, Sep 22, 2016
Filed:
Oct 20, 2014
Appl. No.:
15/030173
Inventors:
- Ithaca NY, US
Rachna KHURANA - Woodbury MN, US
Assignee:
CORNELL UNIVERSITY - Ithaca NY
International Classification:
H01M 10/0565
C08G 65/00
C08J 5/22
H01M 10/0525
Abstract:
A polymer electrolyte composition includes a hard polymer segment covalently bound to an ionically-conducting segment, and a salt that includes an element M selected from an alkali metal, an alkaline earth metal, zinc, and aluminum. The hard polymer segment has a glass transition temperature (T) greater than or equal to 110 C., or a melting temperature (T) greater than 110 C. The ionically-conducting segment has a molecular weight of 800 to 10,000 g/mol. The polymer electrolyte composition has an ionic conductivity for an M ion greater than or equal to 1×10S/cm at 25 C. Methods for the preparation of the polymer electrolyte composition are also provided, as are articles (e.g., electrochemical cells and energy storage devices) that contain the polymer electrolyte composition.
