Polymers are disclosed that incorporate portions of secondary or tertiary polyamide segments connected with polyisocyanates. These polymers have enhanced matting properties. The enhanced matting properties are from creating an inherently matt surface from the polymer without the use of any separate fine particle size matting additives. Conventional matting agents such as fine particle size silica usually results in loss of physical properties such as haze development and porosity in the coating from the matting agent. Composites and hybrids of these polymers and other polyamides, polyurethane with vinyl polymers (acrylates) are also disclosed and claimed.

The present invention relates to thermoset polymer solution, such as a polyurethanes and/or polyureas that include sufficient polyamide to give polyamide strength, adhesion, and durability, wherein the polymer solutions can be prepared as a one-component or two component solvent-borne coating composition. The polyamides give a harder, more chemical resistant, and often tougher thermoset, than similar water-borne polyurethanes rich in polyamide. The compositions of this disclosure differ from other polyamides as they have been formulated to be appropriate viscosity to use as coatings and then have crosslinking technology to form hard thermoset films.

The present invention provides a method for 3D inkjet printing, which comprises: a preheating step: an external heating source is used to heat a main body layer composed of a first composition to a first temperature, wherein the main body layer has a thickness of 10 μm to 500 μm and a unit density of 0.1 to 1.0 g/cm.sup.3, and the first temperature is less than the melting point of the first composition; a heating step: a second composition is applied to the surface of the first composition at the first temperature of the composite to proceed an exothermic cross-linking polymerization, so that the main body layer is heated to a second temperature to become a molten state; and a cooling step: the main body layer in the molten state is cooled down and solidified to form.

A coating composition can include an aliphatic polyisocyanate having an NCO % of greater than or equal to 6 wt % to less than 22 wt % based on ISO 11909:2007 combined with a polyaspartate at an equivalent ratio of from 0.9 to 5. The coating composition can also include a metal additive in an amount of from 0.03 wt % to 0.5 wt % based on a total weight of the coating composition. The coating composition can have a total solvent content of less than or equal to 200 g/L and has an average viscosity build rate of less than 0.5 KU/min. The coating composition cures to form a coating having a haze value of less than or equal to 5 haze units based on ASTM E430-19.

Described herein is a new process for the preparation of polysuccinimide derivatives-based core-shell microcapsules. Also described are microcapsules, as well as perfuming compositions and consumer products including these microcapsules, in particular perfumed consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products.

The invention relates to a curable two- or multi-part composition with (a) optionally an at least bifunctional epoxy-containing compound; (b) an at least bifunctional nitrogen-based curing agent suitable for epoxy curing; (c) a radiation-curable hybrid compound having both one or more radiation-curable methacrylate groups and one or more epoxy groups; (d) a radical photoinitiator; (e) optionally an accelerator for epoxy curing, and (f) optionally further additives. In addition, the invention relates to a method for the bonding, casting, molding or coating of substrates using the composition.

In one or more embodiments, the present invention provides a novel approach to the addition of plasticizers for softening TPUs, i.e., lowering the durometer and the melt viscosity. This approach involves incorporating bonded sulfonate groups with quaternary ammonium counterions into the TPU. In one or more embodiments of the present invention, the softening of TPU is achieved by incorporating an ionic diol, such as N,N-bis (2-hydroxyethyl)-2-aminoethane-sulfonic acid (BES), coupled with various bulky alkyl ammonium cations, during the chain extension step of the TPU synthesis. It is believed that that steric hindrance of the bulky quaternary ammonium groups weakens the dipole-dipole interactions of the sulfonate groups and/or lowers the crystallinity of the hard block, thereby creating additional free volume that softens the polymer and lowers the melt viscosity.

Provided are a curable resin composition having high durability and adherence to a base material such as a metal, a molded composite member formed by coating the base material with the curable resin composition and performing resin molding, and a production method for the same. The curable resin composition contains a polyamide-based resin, a blocked polyisocyanate, and an epoxy compound, and the polyamide-based resin has an amino group concentration from 20 to 300 mmol/kg, and has a water absorption of 1 mass % or less determined by a water absorption test specified by ASTM D570. The polyamide-based resin has a C.sub.8-18 alkylene chain and has a melting point from 160 to 250° C. Per 1 mol of amino groups of the polyamide-based resin, a proportion of isocyanate groups of the blocked polyisocyanate is from 1.5 to 5 mol, and a proportion of epoxy groups of the epoxy compound is from 0.1 to 0.8 mol.

A polyaspartate composition is provided which comprises a reaction product of a diamine and a diester reacted at a ratio of diamine equivalents to diester equivalents of from 1:0.95 to 1:0.50. The polyaspartate compositions of the invention may be combined with polyisocyanates to produce polyurea compositions, e.g., coatings, adhesives, sealants, composites, castings, and films, which exhibit a faster cure time along with faster development time for physical properties such as hardness and tensile strength.

Low primary amine (LPA) polyaspartic esters are provided which comprise a reaction product of an aliphatic diamine and an excess of a Michael addition receptor optionally, in the presence of a C.sub.1-C.sub.10 alcohol, wherein the low primary amine (LPA) polyaspartic ester has a monoaspartate content of less than 10%. The low primary amine (LPA) polyaspartic esters of the invention may find use in slow reactivity polyurea systems and react with polyisocyanates to produce polyurea coatings, adhesives, sealants, films, composites, castings, and paints.
