A process for producing an object from a precursor comprises the steps of: I) depositing a free-radically crosslinked resin atop a carrier to obtain a ply of a construction material joined to the carrier which corresponds to a first selected cross section of the precursor; II) depositing a free-radically crosslinked resin atop a previously applied ply of the construction material to obtain a further ply of the construction material which corresponds to a further selected cross section of the precursor and which is joined to the previously applied ply; III) repeating step II) until the precursor is formed; IV) treating the precursor obtained after step III) under conditions sufficient to at least partially trimerize to isocyanurate groups NCO groups present in the free-radically crosslinked resin of the obtained precursor to obtain the object.

There are provided a carbodiimide compound excellent in storage stability, and performance as a crosslinking agent, and a method for producing the same, and a resin composition excellent in the film forming properties and solvent resistance of a coating made at low temperature. A polycarbodiimide compound derived from an aliphatic diisocyanate compound having at least one primary isocyanate group, the polycarbodiimide compound having a structure in which all ends are capped with an organic compound having a functional group that reacts with an isocyanate group, carbodiimide group concentration A (%) and weight average molecular weight Mw satisfying the following formula (1), and a resin composition comprising the carbodiimide compound and an aqueous resin having a predetermined acid value at a predetermined ratio.

Water dispersible polyamides having carboxylic acid groups are disclosed. These are made by reacting polycarboxyl is acids or anhydrides thereof with amine containing monomer or an amide terminated polyamide under reaction conditions such that a few of the carboxylic acid groups are residual and can promote dispersion in water. These polyamides after dispersion can be chain extended to higher molecular weight polymers or can be terminally functionalized with reactive groups such as isocyanate, epoxy, vinyl, acetoacetonate, or silanol groups. Composites and hybrids of these polyamides with vinyl polymers are also disclosed and claimed.

A composition comprising an isocyanate component A) comprising at least one cycloaliphatic or araliphatic diisocyanate, a polyol component B) comprising at least one polyol having an OH number of 80 to 1000 mg KOH/g, an additive component C) comprising at least one internal demoulding agent, and a catalyst component D) comprising at least one inorganic metal complex as thermally latent catalyst, characterized in that the thermally latent catalyst has a quotient of reaction rates between catalysed reaction and uncatalysed reaction at 30° C. of =5.0 and at 60° C. of =1.1. The present invention further provides a process for producing an elastomer and for the use of the composition for production of transparent shaped bodies.

An aqueous polyurethane resin having a cationic group in a side chain thereof is obtainable by reacting a polyester polyol, a polyisocyanate, and a diol containing a quaternary N-atom or amino group, the quaternary N-atom or amino group being not present in the carbon chain between the two hydroxyl groups of the diol. The polyester polyol is obtained by reacting an aromatic polycarboxylic acid and a polyol. The polyurethane resin is suitable as a resin in treatment liquids for inkjet printing.
