| abstract |
The present invention provides multifunctional monomers, including but not limited to multifunctional methylene malonate and methylene β-ketoester monomers, methods for making the same, and compositions and products formed therefrom. . The polyfunctional monomers of the present invention can be prepared by transesterification or direct synthesis from polyfunctional methylene malonate monomers or methylene β-ketoester monomers. The present invention relates to compositions and products formed from the methylene β-ketoester monomers of the present invention, based on monomers-based products (eg, inks, adhesives, coatings, sealants or reaction molded articles) and polymers. Further provided are compositions and products that include products such as fibers, films, sheets, medical polymers, composite polymers, and surfactants. |
