Thermosetting epoxy resin compositions on the one hand at room temperature in the incompletely cured state exhibit extremely slight alteration in shape and on the other hand develop a high surface tack, and, moreover, in the fully cured state are of high impact strength and at the same time exhibits high adhesion, particularly to metallic substrates. These compositions are ideally suited to the production of self-adhesive reinforcing elements.

These compositions are ideally suited to the production of self-adhesive reinforcing elements.

A composition is composed of (A) an ethylene/alpha-olefin/diene TEMPO compound having the Structure (I) and (D) a peroxide. The molar ratio of isocyanate groups of Component (B) to the functional groups of Component (C) is from 0.80 to 1.10. A composition is composed of (A) an ethylene/alpha-olefin/diene interpolymer; a second composition comprising a reaction mixture comprising (B) an isocyanate comprising at least two isocyanate groups and (C) a TEMPO compound having the Structure (I) and (D) a peroxide, wherein the molar ratio of isocyanate groups of Component (B) to the functional groups of Component (C) is from 0.80 to 1.10. In Structure I, R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3 and R.sup.4 are each independently selected from H and C.sub.1-C.sub.6 alkyl groups and X is a functional group selected from OH and NH.sub.2.

The one-part moisture-curable urethane composition of the present technology includes: a urethane prepolymer (A) having an isocyanate group; at least one type of compound (B) selected from the group consisting of an aliphatic isocyanate compound and a modified product of the aliphatic isocyanate compound; and a monoalcohol compound (C) having a hydroxy group, the monoalcohol compound (C) being blended in an amount such that the amount of the hydroxy group in the monoalcohol compound (C) is from 0.025 to 0.4 mol per 1 mol of the isocyanate group in the urethane prepolymer (A).

A method of producing a polycarbodiimide polymer comprises heating a precursor compound at a desired temperature. The method further comprises combining the precursor compound, a diisocyanate compound, and a carbodiimidization catalyst to form a reaction mixture. Finally, the method comprises heating the reaction mixture for a first period of time at a first temperature, thereby reacting the precursor compound and the diisocyanate compound in the presence of the carbodiimidization catalyst to produce the polycarbodiimide polymer.
