Abstract

The present invention is directed to novel isocyanate-terminated prepolymers of carboxylic acid grafted polyethers, salts of these prepolymers and fully reacted polymers formed therefrom. More specifically, the present invention relates to reacting an ethylenically unsaturated mono-carboxylic acid with a polyether in the presence of a free radical initiator to form a graft copolymer. Acid-containing isocyanate-terminated prepolymers can then be formed by reacting the graft copolymer with an isocyanate. Salt-containing isocyanate-terminated prepolymers are prepared through the reaction between the acid-containing prepolymer and a base. Finally, polymers are formed by curing either of these isocyanate-terminated prepolymers with an isocyanate reactive material.
