Description

 LIQUID HYDROCARBON COPOLYMERS WITH TWO TERMINAL GROUPS ETHER CYCLOCARBONATE

The present invention relates to hydrocarbon polymers comprising two end groups of cyclocarbonate or similar type, their method of preparation and their use for the manufacture of coating compositions, mastics or adhesives.

 It is known to use polyurethanes to make various coating compositions, mastics or adhesives.

 These compositions may be in the form of one-component or two-component compositions. In the latter case, the reagents necessary for the synthesis of the polyurethane are stored separately, optionally in the presence of other ingredients (additives), and are intended to be mixed before use of the composition, to synthesize the polyurethane at the last moment. .

 The synthesis of polyurethanes is traditionally done by reaction of a diisocyanate with a diol.

 Now diisocyanates are toxic compounds as such, and are generally obtained from phosgene, itself very toxic by inhalation or by contact. The manufacturing process used in industry generally involves the reaction of an amine with an excess of phosgene to form an isocyanate.

 In addition, polyisocyanates are very sensitive compounds in the presence of atmospheric moisture and require taking appropriate measures to prevent their premature crosslinking, and therefore their loss of reactivity, during handling and storage (anhydrous conditions).

 The search for alternatives to the synthesis of polyurethanes, without using isocyanate (or NIPU for "Non Isocyanate PolyUrethane" in English, that is to say "polyurethane without isocyanate"), therefore represents a major challenge.

This research has been the subject of numerous studies. The most studied tracks concern the use of polymers that can react with amines or oligomers of amines to form polyurethanes or derivatives structurally close to polyurethanes, such as poly (thio) urethanes, which will be generically referred to herein as "polyurethane polymers".

 The patent application WO 2014/091 173 describes hydrocarbon polymers comprising two end groups containing 2-oxo-1,3-dioxolan-4-yl (also called cyclocarbonate) which can be obtained by ring opening polymerization by metathesis. from a cycloolefin, and in the presence of a chain transfer agent and a metathesis catalyst.

 These polymers can then react with a (poly) amine to form polyurethane-type polymers, without the use of isocyanate, and which can be used to formulate coating, sealant or adhesive compositions. However, this reaction is relatively long and remains to be improved.

 Patent application WO 2016/162627 also describes hydrocarbon polymers comprising two end-vinylene cyclocarbonate-terminated end groups which are also capable of being obtained by ring opening polymerization by metathesis from a cycloolefin, and in the presence of a chain transfer agent and a metathesis catalyst.

 Patent application WO 2016/185106 describes hydrocarbon polymers comprising two dithiocyclocarbonate (or 2-thione-1, 3-oxathiolan-4-yl) terminated end groups, which are also capable of being obtained by ring opening polymerization. by metathesis from a cycloolefin, and in the presence of a chain transfer agent and a metathesis catalyst. These latter polymers can then react with a (poly) amine to form poly (thio) urethanes without isocyanate which can also be used to formulate coating, putty or adhesive compositions.

Thus, for application as a two-component adhesive, the hydrocarbon polymer as described by these references and the amine compound, used as hardener, are each included in a component of a two-component composition which is made available to the user. . The latter thus proceeds, just at the time of use of the adhesive, the mixture of these 2 components, optionally hot, so as to obtain a liquid adhesive composition. This one is applied on at least one of two surfaces belonging to two substrates to be assembled, which are put in contact to proceed with their assembly.

 The progression of the reaction between said hydrocarbon polymer and the amine compound leads to the formation of a cohesive adhesive seal which ensures the strength of the assembly of these two substrates. This adhesive seal is therefore mainly composed of the product of said reaction, and therefore of a polyurethane or a poly (thio) urethane, depending on the case.

 However, it may be necessary to use the hydrocarbon polymer as described by these references in the form of a composition comprising other constituents, such as, for example, tackifying resins, plasticizers, adhesion promoters, one or a number of additives with a reinforcing effect, such as a mineral filler, or one or more additives to improve setting time (ie the time after which crosslinking can be considered complete) or other characteristics like the rheology or the mechanical performances (elongation, module ...).

 The hydrocarbon polymers described by the previously cited references of the prior art may be liquid, but they are then obtained from substituted cycloolefins which are difficult to access as an industrial raw material.

 Said described hydrocarbon polymers are more generally solid, and must therefore be applied hot for their mixing with the hardener.

 However, it is more convenient for the adhesives and / or sealants industry to have compositions that can be applied at room temperature by the end user and which can also be manufactured industrially, also at room temperature, by simple mixture of the hydrocarbon polymer and additional components mentioned above.

 It is therefore particularly advantageous to have, for this purpose, hydrocarbon polymers with cyclocarbonate or similar end groups which are themselves liquid at room temperature.

The object of the present invention is to propose novel polymers with two end groups of the cyclocarbonate type or the like, which remedy these drawbacks. Another object of the present invention is to provide liquid polymers at room temperature which can, after mixing with a hardener, lead to the formation of an adhesive seal having improved mechanical properties.

 Another object of the present invention is to provide liquid polymers at room temperature, the synthesis of which does not use isocyanates, and which are capable of reacting with a polyamine in a short time to form polymers. polyurethane type.

 Another object of the present invention is to provide polymers with terminations of the type cyclocarbonate or the like which are liquid, in particular of lower viscosity at ambient temperature, and which can also be manufactured by a process which implements raw materials largely. available at the industrial level.

 Another object of the present invention is to provide such polymers, which can, in addition, be manufactured industrially by a process whose exotherm is easier to control.

 It has now been found that these goals can be achieved, in whole or in part, by means of the hydrocarbon polymer described hereinafter.

Thus, the present invention relates to a hydrocarbon copolymer P comprising 2 end groups F ¹ and F ² of cyclocarbonate type and the like, having the following formulas:

GO- (CH ₂ ) _g and (CH ₂ ) _d -OD (G) (D)

in which :

 g and d, identical or different, represent an integer equal to 1, 2 or

3; and

 G and D are 2 monovalent radicals such that the pair (G, D) is chosen from the pairs:

- G1, D1) of formulas:

(G1) (D1) wherein A ¹ is an alkylene group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms; - G2, D2) of formulas:

 (G2) (D2)

wherein A ² is an alkylene group having 1 to 9 carbon atoms;

- G3, D3) of formulas

 (G4) (D4)

 in which :

- A ³ and A ⁴ , identical or different, each represent a hydrogen atom, an alkyl radical, linear or branched, comprising from 1 to 6 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl radical comprising 5 or 6 carbon atoms, a phenyl radical; or an alkylphenyl group whose alkyl chain comprises from 1 to 4 carbon atoms;

A ³ and A ⁴ may further be bonded together to form a - (CH 2 -) _q - group in which q is an integer from 3 to 5;

 characterized in that the main chain of said copolymer P comprises:

a unit (I) of formula (I) repeated p times, p being an integer different from 0:

 a unit (II) of formula (II) repeated n times, n being an integer different from 0:

 (he)

 in which R ° represents the methyl radical or one of the 3 radicals of following formula:

 and, optionally, a unit (III) of formula (III) repeated m times, m being an integer greater than or equal to 0:

 in which :

- R ¹ , R ² , R ³ and R ⁴ , identical or different, represent:

 a hydrogen or halogen atom; or

a radical comprising from 1 to 22 carbon atoms and chosen from alkyl, alkenyl, alkoxycarbonyl, alkenyloxycarbonyl, alkylcarbonyloxy, alkenylcarbonyloxy, alkylcarbonyloxyalkyl, the hydrocarbon chain of said radical possibly being interrupted by at least one oxygen atom or one sulfur atom; : in addition: at least one of the groups R ¹ to R ⁴ can form, together with at least one other group R ¹ to R ⁴ and with the carbon atom or atoms to which the said groups are connected, a saturated or unsaturated hydrocarbon ring or heterocycle, optionally substituted, and comprising from 3 to 10 members; and

at least one of the pairs (R ¹ , R ² ) and (R ³ , R ⁴ ) can form, with the carbon atom to which said pair is linked, a group of 2 carbon atoms connected by a double bond: C = C , the other carbon atom has two substituents selected from a hydrogen atom or a Ci-C ₄ alkyl; and

the carbon atom carrying one of the groups of the pair (R ¹ , R ² ) can be connected to the carbon atom carrying one of the groups of the pair (R ³ , R ⁴ ) by a double bond, it being understood that, according to the valence rules, only one of the groups of each of these 2 pairs is then present;

R ⁵ represents:

 an oxygen or sulfur atom, or

a divalent radical -Ch -, -C (= O) - or -NR ⁶ - in which R ⁶ is an alkyl or alkenyl radical comprising from 1 to 22 carbon atoms;

furthermore, that:

 the link == represents a single bond or a double bond;

- F ¹ and F ² are each connected to one of the two ends of the main chain and a pattern (I); and

 n, p and m are such that the number-average molecular weight Mn of the copolymer P is in a range of from 400 to 100,000 g / mol and its polymolecularity index is in a range from 1.5 to 3; , 0.

The various groups, radicals and letters which are included in the formulas of F ¹ and F ² and in the definition of the main chain of the copolymer P, remain throughout this text, and, in the absence of any indication to the contrary, the same meaning.

The units (I), (II) and, optionally, (III) are divalent radicals which are randomly distributed in the main chain of the copolymer P, with the exception of 2 units (I) which are directly connected to F ¹ and F ² . The copolymer P is therefore a random copolymer. The main chain of the copolymer P therefore comprises two or three repeating units:

 a first repetition pattern (I) repeated p times of formula (I),

 a second repeating unit (II) repeated n times of formula (II); and - a third repeating unit (III) repeated m times of formula (III), which is optional;

so that the copolymer P can be a bipolymer (presence of the 2 repeating units (I) and (II)) or a terpolymer (presence of the 3 repeating units (I), (II) and (III)).

As it appears above, the terminal groups F ¹ and F ² are generally symmetrical with respect to the main chain, that is to say that they correspond substantially, with the exception of the indices g and d. .

 By "heterocycle" is meant a hydrocarbon ring which may comprise another atom than carbon in the ring chain, such as, for example, oxygen, sulfur or nitrogen atoms.

 By "terminal group" is meant a group located at one of the two ends of the main chain of the polymer.

 The term "copolymer" means a polymer resulting from the copolymerization of at least two comonomers, that is to say two chemically different monomers. The main chain of a copolymer comprises at least 2 chemically distinct repeating units.

 The term "terpolymer" means a copolymer resulting from the copolymerization of three comonomers, and whose main chain consists essentially of 3 distinct repeating units.

 It is meant by the term "bipolymer" a copolymer resulting from the copolymerization of two comonomers, and whose main chain consists essentially of 2 distinct repeating units.

Polymolecularity index (also referred to as polydispersity index or PDI) is defined as the Mw / Mn ratio, that is to say the ratio of the weight average molecular weight to the number average molecular weight of the polymer. In the present text, the two average molecular weights Mn and Mw are measured by Size Exclusion Chromatography (SEC), which is also referred to as gel permeation chromatography (or the term "Size Exclusion Chromatography"). by the corresponding English acronym GPC). The calibration implemented is usually a PEG (PolyEthyleneGlycol) or PS (Polystyrene) calibration, preferably PS.

 The copolymer P according to the invention is particularly homogeneous and stable in temperature and advantageously liquid at room temperature. It is advantageously at room temperature in the form of a viscous liquid whose Brookfield viscosity at 23 ° C. is between 1 mPa.s and 150 Pa.s, preferably between 1 and 50 Pa.s.

 It can react with a primary and / or secondary polyamine, according to a polyaddition reaction, at a temperature of less than or equal to 80 ° C. and even at ambient temperature, to form, at the end of a reaction time advantageously reduced, a polymer polyurethane type that can constitute an adhesive seal.

 The adhesive seal thus formed has high cohesion values, in particular greater than 2 MPa. Such cohesive values allow a use of said polymer as an adhesive, for example as a seal on a usual support (concrete, glass, marble), in the field of building, or for gluing glazing in the automotive industry and naval.

 According to a preferred variant, the main chain of the copolymer P consists essentially of the repeating unit (I) of formula (I), the repeating unit (II) of formula (II) and, optionally, the repeating unit (III) of formula (III). Thus, the number of units (I), (II) and optionally (III) advantageously represents at least 90% of the total number of units constituting the main chain of the copolymer P, and even more advantageously at least 95%.

 According to a preferred variant, the main chain of the copolymer P consists essentially of the repeating unit (I) of formula (I) and of the repeating unit (II) of formula (II).

According to a more preferred variant, the relative proportion of units of formula (I) and of units of formula (II) present in the main chain of the copolymer P corresponds to an excess of units of formula (I). More particularly, the number p of units (I) and the number n of units (II) are such that:

 p / (n + p) is between 45 and 95%, and

 n / (n + p) is between 5 and 55%.

These latter parameters can be determined analytically by ¹ H and ¹³ C NMR spectroscopy.

 According to a first and more preferred embodiment of the copolymer P according to the invention, all the bonds which are represented in formulas (I),

(II) and optionally (III) as well as in the formulas giving the meaning of R ° are carbon-carbon double bonds.

 According to this first embodiment, the main chain of the copolymer P is thus such that:

 the reason (I) also has the formula (Γ):

 the reason (II) also has formula (ΙΓ):

 in which R ° represents the methyl radical or one of the 3 radicals of following formula:

and, optionally, the unit (III) also has the formula (ΙΙΓ)

 it being specified that in said formulas the bond is a single bond geometrically oriented on one side or the other with respect to the double bond (cis or trans).

 The corresponding units of the main chain of the copolymer P are then themselves linked by a carbon-carbon double bond.

 According to a very particularly preferred variant of this first embodiment of the invention, the main chain of the copolymer P is such that:

 on the p units of formula (Γ), p "also correspond to formula (I"), p "being an integer different from 0, less than p and such that p'Vp is greater than 0.8:

 on the n units of formula (ΙΓ), n "also correspond to formula (II") n "being an integer different from 0, less than n and such that n is greater than 0.9:

According to this embodiment, at least 80% of the units of formula (Γ) are of cis configuration, represented by formula (I "), and at least 90% of units of formula (ΙΓ) are also of cis configuration, represented by the formula (II "). The corresponding percentages can be determined by ¹ H and ¹³ C NMR.

According to another variant of this ^1st embodiment, m is equal to 0, and the main chain of P does not include a pattern of formula (ΙΙΓ). According to a second embodiment of the copolymer P according to the invention, all the bonds which are represented in the formulas (I), (II) and, optionally, (III) as well as in the formulas giving the meaning of R °, are simple carbon-carbon bonds.

 According to this second embodiment, the main chain of the copolymer P is therefore such that:

the unit (I) also has the formula (l ^H ):

the pattern (II) also has the formula (II ^H )

 in which R ° represents the methyl radical or one of the 3 radicals of following formula:

and, optionally, the unit (III) has the formula (III ^H )

Each of steps (i), (ii) and (iii) is described below in more detail.

Step (i):

 Step (i) implements a depolymerization reaction of bipolymer A and intramolecular cydization, which leads to the formation of one or more macrocyclic cooligomer O comprising:

The formation and structure of the O-macrocyclic cooligomer (s) can be characterized by steric exclusion chromatography (SEC) and mass spectrometry techniques. The distribution in the macrocycle of the units of formulas (Γ), (ΙΓ) and optionally (ΙΙΓ) is statistical. A preferred temperature range for heating the bipolymer A and optionally compound B according to step (i) is from 30 ° C to 60 ° C.

 The corresponding heating time is adapted to obtain a yield close to 100% relative to the molar amount of bipolymer A used, as well as that of the other reactants present. A time ranging from 1 hour to 8 hours, preferably from 1 to 3 hours, is generally suitable.

Bipolymer A:

 Bipolymer A is a copolymer consisting essentially of 2 monomers and is selected from poly (butadiene-isoprene), poly (butadiene-myrcene), and poly (butadiene-farnesene).

 According to a first variant, very particularly preferred, of the process according to the invention, the bipolymer A implemented in step (i) is a poly (butadiene-isoprene). Advantageously, a hydrocarbon-based copolymer P according to the invention is obtained:

D2).

The main chain of P comprises according to this same variant:

 the repeating pattern of formula (Γ) and

 the repeating unit of formula (ΙΓ) in which R ° represents the methyl radical.

 Poly (butadiene-isoprene) are copolymers which constitute an industrially advantageous raw material, in particular because of their availability and properties in terms of industrial hygiene. Polybutadiene-isoprene is generally obtained by various polymerization processes:

- 1, 3-butadiene of the formula: H ₂ C = CH-CH = CH _2, and

 2-methylbuta-1,3-diene (or isoprene), of formula:

H ₂ C = C (CH ₃ ) -CH = CH ₂ . The polymerization of 1,3-butadiene can be carried out in either a 1,4-trans-addition or a 1,4-cis-addition, resulting in a repeating unit in the copolymer chain (referred to as a trans-butadiene unit, respectively). 1, 4 and cis-1, 4), which is in the form of the two geometric isomers of the respective formula: tif butadiene trans-1, 4)

 (butadiene cis-1,4)

The cis-1,4 butadiene unit is identical to the unit of formula (I ") defined previously.

 The polymerization of 1,3-butadiene can also be carried out according to a 1,2-addition, resulting in a repeating unit in the copolymer chain (designated 1,2-vinyl butadiene unit) which has the formula:

 (butadiene vinyl-1,2)

 Thus, poly (butadiene-isoprene) generally comprises in its chain the 3 repeating units above, hereinafter referred to generically as "butadiene derived units".

 Similarly, the polymerization of isoprene can be carried out according to a trans-addition-1, 4 or a cis-addition-1, 4, resulting in a repeating unit in the copolymer chain (designated respectively by trans isoprene unit -1, 4 and cis-1, 4), which is in the form of the two geometric isomers of the respective formula: tif isoprene trans-1, 4)

 The polymerization of the isoprene can finally be carried out according to a 3,4-addition, resulting in a repeating unit in the copolymer chain (designated by 3,4-vinylisoprene unit) which has the formula:

 (isoprene vinyl-3,4 unit)

 Thus, polybutadiene-isoprene generally comprises in its chain the 4 repeating units above, hereinafter referred to generically as "isoprene derived units".

 The poly (butadiene-isoprene) used in step (i) may have a number-average molecular weight (Mn) ranging from 3,000 to 100,000 g / mol, preferably from 3,000 to 50,000 g / mol, and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of from -1 to -60 ° C.

 It preferably comprises from 45 to 95% of number of units derived from butadiene and from 5 to 55% of number of units derived from isoprene, said percentages being expressed on the basis of the total number of constituent units of the poly chain. (butadiene-isoprene).

 Preferably, the poly (butadiene-isoprene) chain implemented in step (i) comprises:

less than 5% number of butadiene vinyl-1,2 units, on the basis of the number of units derived from butadiene, and less than 5% of the total number of isoprene vinyl-1, 2 units and isoprene vinyl-3,4 units, based on the number of units derived from isoprene.

 Even more preferably, this double upper limit of 5 mol% is lowered to 2%.

 According to another variant, very particularly preferred, the poly (butadiene-isoprene) chain implemented in step (i) comprises:

 at least 80% of cis-1,4-butadiene units, based on the number of units derived from butadiene, and

 at least 90% of cis-1,4 isoprene units, based on the number of units derived from isoprene.

 According to this latter variant, such a poly (butadiene-isoprene), which is liquid at ambient temperature, is often described as "high content of butadiene cis-1,4 and isoprene cis-1,4" units and is still designated in English, by the terms "high cis poly (butadiene-isoprene)". Advantageously, either at the end of step (ii) or at the end of step (iii) depending on the meaning of the pair (G, D) as specified above, the preferred variant of the copolymer is advantageously obtained. P corresponding to the presence of the units of formula (I ") and (II"), as defined above.

The percentages of 1,2-butadiene vinyl-1,2-isoprene vinyl-1,2-isoprene vinyl-3,4-butadiene cis-1,4 and isoprene cis-1,4 units defined above can be determined by ¹ H and ¹³ C.

 An example of such poly (butadiene-isoprene) is KURAPRENE® LIR-390 which is commercially available from KURARAY.

 This liquid poly (butadiene-isoprene) has a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 48,000 g / mole. It comprises 92% number of units derived from butadiene and 8% number of units derived from isoprene, said percentages being expressed on the basis of the total number of units derived from butadiene and isoprene constituting the chain.

 It also includes:

on the basis of the number of units derived from butadiene, about 1% by number of butadiene vinyl-1,2 units, and based on the number of units derived from isoprene, about 1% number of isoprene vinyl-1,2 units and less than 1% number of isoprene vinyl-3,4 units.

 approximately 98% of cis-1,4 isoprene units, based on the number of units derived from isoprene.

 Another example of poly (butadiene-isoprene) is KURAPRENE® LIR-340, also commercially available from KURARAY.

 This poly (butadiene-isoprene) has a number-average molecular weight (Mn) of 34,000 g / mole. It comprises 46% number of units derived from butadiene and 54% number of units derived from isoprene, said percentages being expressed on the basis of the total number of units constituting the chain. It has, moreover, the same characteristics as those indicated above for the KURAPRENE® LIR-390.

 According to a second variant of the process according to the invention, the bipolymer A is either a poly (butadiene-myrcene) or a poly (butadiene-farnesene).

 Myrcene is a naturally occurring organic compound belonging to the chemical class of monoterpenes and is an important intermediate in the perfume industry. It is produced semi-synthetic from plants of the genus Myrcia. It is in the form of two geometric isomers:

the α-m rcene, of structural formula:

 In this second variant (either at the end of step (ii) or at the end of step (iii) depending on the meaning of the pair (G, D) as specified above), a copolymer is obtained hydrocarbon P according to the invention, the main chain of which comprises:

 the repeating pattern of formula (Γ) and

 the repeating unit of formula (ΙΓ) in which R ° represents:

the radical of formula:

corres ondant with Γα-myrcene;

Step (iii):

According to the process for preparing a hydrocarbon-based copolymer P such that the pair (G, D) is (G2, D2), it is used in step (ii) the di-epoxidized CTA of formula (C). In this case, directly after step (ii), an intermediate hydrocarbon-based copolymer I comprising the two terminal groups F ' ¹ e and F' ² e and whose main chain is identical to that of the copolymer P is obtained directly in this case. according to the invention.

 Said intermediate copolymer I is then reacted, according to the present step (iii), according to a dithiocarbonation reaction with carbon disulfide (CS2) in the presence of a halogenated lithium compound, at a temperature ranging from 10 to 45 ° C. .

At the end of this reaction, the hydrocarbon-based copolymer P such that the pair (G, D) is (G 2, D 2) is then obtained. The process for the preparation of the hydrocarbon copolymer P which has just been described may also comprise, besides the steps (i) and (ii) (and, where appropriate, (iii)), an additional step of hydrogenation of the double bonds.

This step is generally carried out by catalytic hydrogenation, most often under hydrogen pressure and in the presence of a hydrogenation catalyst such as a palladium catalyst supported by carbon (Pd / C). It more particularly makes it possible to obtain for the hydrocarbon copolymer P - according to the second embodiment described above for said copolymer - a main chain which is saturated, and which therefore comprises a unit (I) of formula (I ^H ) repeated p times. , a unit (II) of formula (II ^H ) repeated n times and, optionally, a unit (III) of formula (III ^H ) repeated m times.

 According to a preferred variant of the preparation process according to the invention, said process consists essentially of steps (i), (ii) and, where appropriate, (iii). This variant makes it possible to obtain, for the hydrocarbon copolymer P, according to the first embodiment described above for said copolymer, an unsaturated main chain, which therefore comprises a unit (I) of formula (Γ), a unit (II) of formula (ΙΓ) and, optionally, a unit (III) of formula (ΙΙΙ ').

 The invention also relates to the use as adhesive of the hydrocarbon copolymer comprising two end groups of cyclocarbonate type or the like, as defined above, in a mixture with an amine compound comprising at least two amino groups, for example chosen from diamines, triamines and higher homologs. The amounts of the hydrocarbon polymer and the amine compound correspond to stoichiometric amounts, that is to say that the molar ratio of the number of cyclocarbonate groups (or the like) to the number of amine groups ranges from 0.8 to 1.2. preferably from 0.9 to 1.1 or even about 1.0.

In practice, the hydrocarbon polymer and the amine compound, used as hardener, are advantageously each comprised in a component of a two-component composition which is made available to the user. The latter thus proceeds, at the time of the use of the adhesive, to the mixture of these 2 components, optionally hot, so as to obtain a liquid adhesive composition of appropriate viscosity.

 The invention also relates to a method of assembling two substrates by gluing, comprising:

 coating on at least one of the two substrates to be assembled with a liquid adhesive composition obtained by mixing an amine compound comprising at least two amino groups with the hydrocarbon polymer comprising two end groups of cyclocarbonate or similar type as defined above ; then

 the effective contact of the two substrates.

 The liquid adhesive composition is either the adhesive composition comprising said compound and polymer in the liquid state at room temperature, or the hot melt adhesive composition. Those skilled in the art are able to proceed so that the adhesive composition used is in a liquid form and at an appropriate viscosity, at the time of its use.

 The coating of the liquid adhesive composition is preferably made in the form of a layer of thickness in a range of 0.3 to 5 mm, preferably 1 to 3 mm, on at least one two surfaces which belong respectively to the two substrates to be assembled, and which are intended to be brought into contact with one another according to a tangent surface. The effective contact of the two substrates is then implemented according to their tangency surface.

 Of course, the coating and the contacting must be carried out within a compatible time interval, as is well known to those skilled in the art, that is to say before the adhesive layer applied to the substrate does not lose its ability to fix by bonding this substrate to another substrate. In general, the polycondensation of the hydrocarbon polymer with the amino compound begins to occur during the coating, and then continues to occur during the step of contacting the two substrates.

Suitable substrates are, for example, inorganic substrates such as glass, ceramics, concrete, metals or alloys (such as aluminum alloys, steel, non-ferrous metals and galvanized metals); or organic substrates such as wood, plastics such as PVC, polycarbonate, PMMA, polyethylene, polypropylene, polyesters, epoxy resins; metal substrates and paint-coated composites (as in the automotive field).

 The following examples are given purely by way of illustration of the invention, and can not be interpreted to limit its scope.
