ORGANOBORANE-CONTAINING COMPOSITIONS, AND METHODS OF USING SAME

摘要

A polymerizable composition that includes: an organoborane-base complex, wherein the base is a complexing agent selected from a compound having one or more amine groups, amidine groups, hydroxide groups, alkoxide groups, or combinations thereof; a decomplexing agent that liberates the organoborane from the organoborane-base complex; a polymerizable thiol-containing component that includes at least one polymerizable thiol-containing compound having a plurality of thiol groups in which the sulfur atom of the thiol group is covalently bonded to carbon; and a polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated component that includes at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound having a plurality of ethylenically unsaturated groups; wherein the total amount of the thiol-containing and ethylenically unsaturated compounds total at least 50% by weight of all polymerizable material in the composition.
