Hybrid Polyurethane Elastomer

Patent Title:  PROCESS FOR PRODUCING ELASTOMERS

 Number/Link: WO2018069348 (German)

Applicant/Assignee:  Covestro

Publication date: 19 April 2018

Gist”: Unsaturated polycarbonate polyols are reacted with isocyanates together with a peroxide

Why it is interesting: Unsaturated polyethercarbonate polyols are prepared by reacting alkyleneoxides (e.g. PO) together with carbondioxide and an unsaturated monomer like a glycidylether or -ester or cyclooctadienemonoepoxide. These polyols can then be reacted with isocyanates in the presence of  a free-radical initiator like an peroxide. The resulting material can then be crosslinked in a separate step. The hybrid elastomers are said to have improved tensile properties at same or similar hardness.
A related application is WO2018/069350.

Title: ICE ADHESION REDUCING PREPOLYMERS AND POLYMERS

Number/Link: US20170204291

Applicant/Assignee: Boeing

“Gist”: Ice repellent polyurethane coatings are prepared by incorporating F-POSS prepolymers

Why it is interesting: The invention is about coated surfaces that show reduced ice formation and/or adhesion. This is accomplished by incorporating fluorinated polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (F-POSS) into the composition. OH-functional F-POSS is prepared as per the scheme below, which is then reacted with polyisocyanates to prepare an NCO-functional F-POSS prepolymer.  The prepolymer can then be used in PU coating compositions, or reacted with amino-functional PDMS compounds and used as an additive in coating compositions.
It is believed that the F-POSS particles interfere with H-bond formation of ice to the coated surface.  Ice repellent surfaces are particularly useful for aircraft, wind turbines, cooling equipment and the like.

Patent Title: LATENT TWO-PART POLYURETHANE ADHESIVES CURABLE WITH INFRARED RADIATION

 Number/Link: WO2016/205251 and related cases: WO..5252, WO…5254 and WO..5255

Gist”: Two-component PU adhesive using 3 different delayed-action catalysts

Why it is interesting: Two component adhesive systems need a sufficiently long ‘open time’ preferably combined with a fast cure once activated, e.g. by heat. Heat curing using infrared radiation allows for ‘spot curing’ , i.e. curing only predetermined parts of the adhesive such that the assembly can be handled and can be cured completely in a subsequent step.  This process is fast and saves energy.  The current invention is about IR curable adhesives containing 3 different types of latent catalysts: a latent room temperature organometallic catalyst based on Sn, Zn or Bi added to the polyol component, a phenol-blocked cyclic amidine and a carboxylic acid blocked cyclic amidine.  The two latter catalysts can either be included in the polyol or in the isocyanate component. The catalysts used in the examples are dioctyltinthioglycolate, phenol blocked 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene and a carboxilic acid blocked 1,8-diazabicycloundec-7-ene.
