Abstract

A composition contains a mixture of silyl hydride, an alpha-beta unsaturated ester, a Lewis acid catalyst and an amine having the following formula: R 1 R 2 R 3 N; where the nitrogen is not a member of an N═C—N linkage and where each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, and conjugated moieties; and wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is a conjugated moiety connected to the nitrogen by a conjugated carbon.

Claims (21)

1. A composition comprising a mixture of silyl hydride, an alpha-beta unsaturated ester, a Lewis acid catalyst and an amine having the following formula: R 1 R 2 R 3 N; where the nitrogen is not a member of an N═C—N linkage and where each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, and conjugated moieties; and wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is a conjugated moiety connected to the nitrogen by a conjugated carbon.

2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the conjugated moiety is an aromatic moiety.

3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein at least two of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 are conjugated moieties attached to N through a conjugated carbon.

4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the Lewis acid catalyst is selected from a group consisting of aluminum alkyls, aluminum aryls, aryl boranes, fluorinated aryl borane, boron halides, aluminum halides, gallium alkyls, gallium aryls, gallium halides, silylium cations and phosphonium cations.

5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the Lewis acid catalyst is a fluorinated aryl borane.

6. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the silyl hydride and the alpha-beta unsaturated ester are the same molecule.

7. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the composition is free of a UV light sensitive blocking agent for the Lewis acid catalyst.

8. A process comprising the steps of:

(a) providing a composition comprising a mixture of silyl hydride, an alpha-beta unsaturated ester, a Lewis acid catalyst and an amine having the following formula: R 1 R 2 R 3 N; where the nitrogen is not a member of an N═C—N linkage and where each of R 1 , R 2 , and R 3 is independently selected from a group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, substituted alkyl, and conjugated moieties; and wherein at least one of R 1 , R 2 and R 3 is a conjugated moiety connected to the nitrogen by a conjugated carbon; and

(b) heating the composition to a temperature sufficient to dissociate the Lewis acid catalyst from the amine.

9. The process of claim 8 , wherein step (a) comprises mixing together an amine, Lewis acid catalyst, a silyl hydride and an alpha-beta unsaturated ester provided the Lewis acid catalyst and amine are combined so that the amine can complex with and block the catalytic activity of the Lewis acid prior to combining them with both of silyl hydride and alpha-beta unsaturated ester.

10. The process of claim 8 , wherein the process further includes a step of applying the composition to a substrate or placing the composition in a mold after step (a) and before or during step (b).

11. The process of claim 9 , wherein after step (a) and prior to step (b) the composition is applied to a substrate or placed in a mold.

12. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the silyl hydride and the alpha-beta unsaturated ester are the same molecule.

13. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the silyl hydride and the alpha-beta unsaturated ester are the same molecule.

14. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the silyl hydride and the alpha-beta unsaturated ester are the same molecule.

15. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the silyl hydride and the alpha-beta unsaturated ester are the same molecule.

16. The composition of claim 2 , wherein the composition is free of a UV light sensitive blocking agent for the Lewis acid catalyst.

17. The composition of claim 3 , wherein the composition is free of a UV light sensitive blocking agent for the Lewis acid catalyst.

18. The composition of claim 4 , wherein the composition is free of a UV light sensitive blocking agent for the Lewis acid catalyst.

19. The composition of claim 6 , wherein the composition is free of a UV light sensitive blocking agent for the Lewis acid catalyst.
