(N-substituted carbamoyloxy)alkanoyloxyalkyl acrylate polymers and compositions made therefrom

This invention is directed to polymers (including oligomers) that contain (N-substituted carbamoyloxy)alkanoyloxyalkyl acrylates, to a process for their preparation by reacting the carbamoyloxy alkanoyloxyalkyl acrylates with other ethylenically unsaturated monomers, and to coating, ink, adhesive, and sealant compositions (including the cured coatings, inks, adhesives, and sealants) that are obtained by crosslinking the above compositions by various means. The cured compositions, which are, for example, high-quality industrial finishes, sealants or encapsulants, are made by incorporation of various conventional crosslinking agents and other normally-used formulating ingredients with the polymeric compositions of the invention.
