The present disclosure relates to a curable precursor of a structural adhesive composition, comprising: a) a cationically self-polymerizable monomer; b) a polymerization initiator of the cationically self-polymerizable monomer which is initiated at a temperature T1; c) a curable monomer which is different from the cationically self-polymerizable monomer; and d) a curing initiator of the curable monomer which is initiated at a temperature T2 and which is different from the polymerization initiator of the cationically self-polymerizable monomer. According to another aspect, the present disclosure is directed to a partially cured precursor of a structural adhesive composition. According to still another aspect, the present disclosure relates to a method of bonding to parts. In yet another aspect, the disclosure relates to the use of a curable precursor or a partially cured precursor as described above, for industrial applications, in particular for body-in-white bonding applications for the automotive industry.

Provided herein is a curable liquid stereolithography resin comprising (a) a divinylarene dioxide, such as for example a divinylbenene dioxide (DVBDO); (b) a free radically curable component, such as for example a (meth)acrylate component; (c) a cationic photoinitiator; and (d) a free radical photoinitiator. The stereolithography resin may comprise additional components, such as a cationically curable component other than a divinylarene dioxide. Preferably, the stereolithography resin has a viscosity at 25° C. of less than 400 mPa.Math.s.

The present invention relates to a method for producing a biopolyether polyol, which is a copolymerization reaction of tetrahydrofuran and 2-methyltetrahydrofuran in a monomer ratio (by mass) of 85/15 to 50/50, and the resulting polyether polyol of 100% plant origin having a number-average molecular weight of 500-5000. In addition, a polyurethane resin, which is the product of a synthetic reaction having as the main reactants the above polyether polyol of 100% plant origin, a polyisocyanate compound, and a chain extender that reacts with isocyanate groups, has a change in storage modulus (E′) in the low temperature range (0° C.) with respect to normal temperature (20° C.) of within 0-15%.

Provided is a polyether polycarbonate diol, wherein the ratio of the total number of terminal alkoxy groups and terminal aryloxy groups to the total number of all terminal groups is 0.20% or more and 7.5% or less. Controlling the ratio of the total number of terminal alkoxy groups and terminal aryloxy groups to the total number of all terminal groups included in the polyether polycarbonate diol to fall within the preferable range enables a polyurethane having an intended molecular weight to be produced while the occurrence of rapid polymerization reaction is reduced.
