MERCAPTAN-HARDENED EPOXY POLYMER COMPOSITIONS AND PROCESSES FOR MAKING AND USING SAME

摘要

Mercaptan-hardened epoxy polymer compositions, methods of making the mercapt an- hardened epoxy polymer compositions, and methods of using the mercaptan- hardened epoxy polymer compositions are provided. The mercaptan-hardened epo xy polymer can be produced by contacting a thiol ester composition and an epoxi de composition to produce a mixture and then heating the mixture to produce the mercaptan-hardened epoxy polymer. In some embodiments, the thiol ester compositions include thiol esters, hydroxy thiol esters, and crosslinked thi ol esters. Adhesive polymer compositions, methods of making the adhesive polyme r compositions, and methods of using the adhesive polymer compositions are provided. The adhesive polymer composition can be produced by contacting a thiol ester composition and an epoxide composition to produce a mixture and then heating the mixture to produce the adhesive polymer composition.
