Novel Coating Binders Comprising Liquid Crystalline Enhanced Polymers
RFT-55
Coating compositions comprising liquid crystalline binders providing coatings of exceptional hardness and toughness. It includes an economical process suitable for commercial manufacture of liquid-crystalline oligoester polyols. Mesogens & Polymers with Mesogens (RFT-54) Novel mesogens, epoxy resins and the synthesis thereof as well as coating binders for coating compositions.
Coating compositions comprising liquid crystalline binders are provided by a combination of mesogenic groups and amorphous resins. The mesogenic groups are either covalently bonded or cross linked to the amorphous resins to provide coatings of exceptional hardness and toughness. Also provided is an economical process suitable for commercial manufacture of mesogenic compounds and more particularly for the production of liquid crystalline oligoester polyols.
