Definitions

• This invention relates to curable compositions comprising reactive silane functionality and, in other aspects, to articles comprising the compositions and to processes for curing the compositions.
• Moisture-curable compositions cure in the presence of moisture to form
• the moisture for curing is typically obtained from the atmosphere or from a substrate to which the composition has been applied, although it can also be added to the composition (for example, to enable curing in depth or in confinement).
• Moisture-curable compositions usually comprise polymers having groups (for example, alkoxysilyl or acyloxysilyl moieties) that can react in the presence of moisture to form cured (that is, crosslinked) materials.
• groups for example, alkoxysilyl or acyloxysilyl moieties
• a wide variety of polymers can be rendered moisture curable, including polyolefms, polyesters, polyethers, polyacrylates, polyvinyl chloride, polyphosphazenes, polysiloxanes, polysulfides, block copolymers, and fluorinated derivatives thereof, the particular polymer being selected based on the intended use.
• a polysiloxane or fluorinated polyether is often selected to provide release coatings suitable for use with pressure-sensitive adhesives.
• Moisture-curable compositions comprising alkoxysilyl or acyloxysilyl
• the alkoxysilyl or acyloxysilyl groups hydrolyze in the presence of moisture and a catalyst to form silanol compounds having hydroxysilyl groups.
• the hydroxysilyl groups condense with other hydroxysilyl, alkoxysilyl, or acyloxysilyl groups in the presence of a catalyst to form— Si— O— Si— linkages.
• the two reactions occur essentially simultaneously upon generation of the silanol compound.
• Commonly used catalysts for the two reactions include Bronsted and Lewis acids. A single material can catalyze both reactions.
• the hydrolysis and condensation reactions proceed quickly after the moisture-curable composition has been applied, for example, to a substrate. At the same time, however, the reactions must not occur prematurely, for example, during processing or storage.
• compositions that have acceptable cure rates without processing and storage difficulties.
• two-part systems have been developed (one part comprising a functional polymer and the other part comprising a catalyst), with the two parts being mixed immediately prior to use. While this approach has been useful in small-scale applications, it has been less efficient for large-scale manufacturing, where delays caused by having to mix the two parts have been undesirable.
• coating operations must be completed expeditiously before the composition cures in the pot, and this has been difficult when working with large surface area substrates or a large volume of
• Ammonium salt catalysts have been developed that are inactive until heated sufficiently to liberate an acid compound that initiates the moisture curing reaction.
• onium salts such as sulfonium and iodonium salts
• irradiation with ultraviolet light Such materials have not required heat activation and therefore have enabled the use of heat-sensitive substrates without damage (and without the production of undesirable species requiring removal), but the materials have been relatively expensive, have exhibited cure inhibition on some substrates, and have required moisture control and the use of coating equipment with irradiation capability.
• tin catalysts such as dibutyl tin dilaurate can provide stable curable compositions that can be processed and coated without premature gelation.
• curable compositions comprising dual reactive silane functionality in the form of hydrosilyl and hydroxysilyl groups (dehydrogenatively-curable systems) can be cured by using tin catalysts.
• compositions have been widely used for pressure-sensitive adhesive and mold release applications but have sometimes suffered from relatively short pot lives.
• use of tin catalysts is becoming particularly problematic because the organotin compounds generally employed as catalysts are now considered to be toxicologically objectionable.
• compositions that can provide acceptable cure rates without significant processing and storage difficulties (for example, due to premature gelation).
• these compositions will be efficiently processable (for example, without the need for mixing of a two-part system prior to cure), will employ catalysts that do not generate species requiring removal, and/or will not require heat activation (so as to enable curing at relatively low temperatures and/or the use of heat-sensitive substrates).
• the compositions will employ catalysts that are relatively non-toxic, provide compositions that are relatively stable in solution but relatively fast-curing upon drying, effective in relatively low concentrations, and/or effective under relatively low (or no) moisture conditions.

• the base comprises at least one amidine (most preferably, 1,8- diazabicyclo[5.4.0]-7-undecene (DBU)).
• the composition preferably further comprises at least one solvent (for example, an aprotic organic solvent such as heptane).
• the above-described bases can effectively catalyze the curing (apparently, by condensation) of compositions comprising reactive silane functionality in the form of hydrosilyl and hydroxysilyl moieties.
• the bases can provide relatively rapid cure (for example, upon removal of solvent curing can occur within periods of time as short as about 1 minute) even at temperatures as low as ambient (for example, about 23°C), without the need for heat activation, and can be effective in relatively small amounts (for example, at concentrations as low as about 0.5 weight percent or less, based upon the total weight of components (a), (b), and (c)).
• compositions comprising the bases can exhibit relatively good storage stability (for example, for a period of weeks in a closed container) and/or relatively long pot life (for example, on the order of 8 hours or more) in a variety of solvents (for example, heptane, methyl ethyl ketone, or a combination thereof), without the need for mixing of a two-part system immediately prior to use.
• solvents for example, heptane, methyl ethyl ketone, or a combination thereof
• the bases can be effective in the curable composition of the invention in the substantial absence of other condensation catalysts and/or in the substantial absence of moisture.
• the bases can be used as substitutes for conventional tin catalysts to provide organometallic catalyst-free, curable compositions.
• at least some of the bases are relatively non-toxic and therefore suitable for use in preparing relatively environmentally friendly or "green" compositions.
• the curable composition of the invention can be cured to provide crosslinked networks having properties that can be tailored to the requirements of various different applications (for example, by varying the natures, relative amounts, and degrees of reactive silane functionality of starting components (a) and (b)).
• the curable composition can be used to provide materials having a variety of bulk and/or surface properties for use in numerous applications (for example, for use as sealants, adhesives, release coatings, rubbers, hardcoats, softcoats, molded parts, and the like).
• the curable composition of the invention can be particularly useful in applications requiring control of surface properties (for example, hydrophilic or hydrophobic surface treatments and release coating applications), as the base catalysts do not appear to produce species requiring removal and, in some embodiments, the base catalysts are sufficiently volatile to be evaporated from the composition during processing, thereby leaving essentially no catalyst contamination in the cured material (in contrast with the metal contamination of conventional tin catalysts, which can be particularly problematic in the area of
