Abstract

A low temperature curing polymeric adhesive composition may be made by reacting an amino alcohol having between 1 and 3 amino groups and between 2 and 5 hydroxyl groups with a stoichiometric amount of a carboxylic acid or derivative. Free radical catalysts and accelerators may be added to speed the cure of the adhesive. These adhesive resins can be cured at or near ambient room temperature and are highly desired for fabrication of bonded materials possessing long fatigue life because of reduced stresses that might be induced at higher cure temperatures. A generalized formula may be illustrated as follows: ##EQU1## WHERE R" may be hydrogen, alkyl, or cycloalkyl; R' may be hydrogen or alkyl; R is an alkyl; R.sub.1 may be hydrogen, an alkyl, or phenyl; m is an integer from 1 to 3; and n is an integer from 1 to 2.
