| abstract |
The invention relates to a method of making multifunctional materials, especially materials comprising at least one primary carbamate group and a grafting moiety (cii). The method of the invention requires the successive or simultaneous reactions of a material P with a grafting material (c) and ammonia. Material P comprises two or more cyclic carbonate groups (bi). Grafting material (c) comprises at least one amine group (ci) and a grafting moiety (cii). The amine group (ci) is selected from primary amines, secondary amines, and mixtures thereof. The resulting multifunctional materials are useful in a variety of curable coating compositions, including solventborne, waterborne, electrodeposition, liquid solvent free coatings, powder, and powder slurry. |
