Abstract

Compositions and methods for forming surfactants, aqueous dispersions, and curing agents are provided. In one aspect, the invention relates to improved epoxy functional surfactants prepared by reaction of an epoxy composition and an amidoamine composition formed from a blend of acid-terminated polyoxyalkylene polyols. The improved epoxy functional surfactants may be reacted with an excess of epoxy composition and water to result in an aqueous dispersion. The amidoamine composition may be a reaction mixture of a diamine compound and an acid terminated polyoxyalkylene composition formed from two or more polyoxyalkylene polyol compounds. The epoxy functional surfactant may be reacted with amine compounds to form a compound suitable as a curing agent.

Claims (31)

1. A composition, comprising a reaction product of:

an acid terminated polyoxyalkylene composition of two or more acid terminated polyoxyalkylene polyol compounds, wherein the acid terminated polyoxyalkylene composition has a polydispersity of 1.1 or greater and the two or more acid terminated polyoxyalkylene polyol compounds have from about 50% to about 100% of carboxylic end groups oxidized from hydroxyl end groups; and

a diamine compound comprising a first amine substituent group of a primary amine substituent group and a second amine substituent group of a primary amine substituent group or a secondary amine substituent group.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the diamine compound comprises two primary amine substituent groups with the diamine having the formula:

H 2 N—R 3 —NH 2 ,

wherein R 3 is a divalent hydrocarbon substituent group selected from the group of a branched or linear aliphatic, a cycloaliphatic, an aromatic substituent group, and combinations thereof, having 2 to 18 carbon atoms.

3. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the diamine compound is provided at a stoichiometric excess of amine substituent groups to carboxylic end groups of the acid terminated polyoxyalkylene composition.

4. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the reactant product further comprises a monoepoxy compound.

5. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the diamine compound comprises a primary amine substituent group and a secondary amine substituent group with the diamine having the formula:

R 1 —HN—R 3 —NH 2 ,

wherein R 1 is a branched or linear aliphatic, a cycloaliphatic, or an aromatic divalent substituent group having 1 to 21 carbon atoms and R 3 is a divalent hydrocarbon substituent group selected from the group of a branched or linear aliphatic, a cycloaliphatic, an aromatic substituent group, and combinations thereof, having 2 to 18 carbon atoms.

6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the R 1 substituent group further comprises an end group selected from the group of a methyl group, a hydroxyl group, and combinations thereof, and the R 3 substituent group further comprises an end group selected from the group of a methyl group, a hydroxyl group, and combinations thereof.

7. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the R 1 substituent group, the R 3 substituent group, or both, further comprises one or more non-reactive oxygen or nitrogen atoms in the backbone of the substituent group.

8. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the reaction product is further reacted with an epoxy component.

9. The composition of claim 8 , wherein a monoepoxy compound is introduced concurrently or sequentially with the diamine.

10. The composition of claim 8 , wherein the epoxy component comprises a monoepoxy compound, a diepoxy compound, or a combination thereof.

11. The composition of claim 10 , wherein the diepoxy component comprises a diepoxy resin or a mixture of a diepoxy resin and a phenolic compound.

12. The composition of claim 9 , wherein the monoepoxy compound comprises a glycidyl ester of a C 10 tertiary carboxylic acid.

13. The composition of claim 8 , wherein the epoxy component comprises an epoxy composition having a stoichiometric ratio of greater than 1:1 of epoxy substituent groups to amine groups, and water, and the epoxy functional amidoamine composition comprises an aqueous epoxy resin dispersion.

14. The composition of claim 8 , further comprising a polyamine compound.

15. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition comprises:

an acid terminated polyoxyalkylene composition having:

a first acid terminated polyoxyethylene glycol having about 4000 number average molecular weight;

a second acid terminated polyoxyethylene glycol having about 8000 number average molecular weight, wherein the molar ratio of the first acid terminated polyoxyethylene glycol to the second acid terminated polyoxyethylene glycol is 55:45; and

isodecyloxypropyl-1,3-diaminopropane.

16. A composition, comprising:

a polyamidoamine functionalized polyoxyalkylene compound having the formula of:

wherein each of R 1 and R 2 comprises a hydrogen atom or a substituent group selected from the group of a branched or linear aliphatic, a cycloaliphatic, an aromatic substituent group and combinations thereof, having 1 to 21 carbon atoms, with at least one of R 1 and R 2 comprising a hydrogen atom, R 3 is a divalent hydrocarbon substituent group selected from the group of a branched or linear aliphatic, a cycloaliphatic, an aromatic substituent group, and combinations thereof, having 2 to 18 carbon atoms, m is 1 to 11, n is an average number from about 18 to about 500, X is a hydrogen atom or a substituent group selected from the group consisting of a methyl substituent, an ethyl substituent, a hydroxymethyl substituent group, and combinations thereof, Y is a hydrogen atom or a substituent group selected from the group of a methyl substituent, an ethyl substituent, a hydroxymethyl substituent group, and combinations thereof,

wherein a polyoxyalkylene portion, of the polyamidoamine functionalized polyoxyalkylene compound is derived from a blend of two or more acid terminated polyoxyalkylene polyol-containing compounds and each acid terminated polyoxyalkylene polyol-containing compound having a different molecular weight than the other acid terminated polyoxyalkylene polyol-containing compound or compounds.

17. The composition of claim 16 , wherein the R 1 substituent group further comprises an end group selected from the group of a methyl group, a hydroxyl group, and combinations thereof, and the R 3 substituent group further comprises an end group selected from the group of a methyl group, a hydroxyl group, and combinations thereof.
