Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim 128 words
An adhesive composition consisting essentially of one or more polymerizable esters of 2-cyanoacrylic acid according to the general formula ##EQU2## where R is an alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, a cyclohexyl group or a phenyl group, and stabilizing additives characterized in that the adhesive includes from about 1% to about 20% by weight of the adhesive composition of a copolymer of from about 50% to about 80% by weight of a lower alkyl-2-cyanoacrylate and from about 50% to about 20% by weight of either styrene or methyl styrene to render said copolymer soluble in said ester of -2-cyanoacrylic acid, said copolymer having a reduced viscosity of from about 0.5 to 2.5 (determined using 0.4 gm. of the copolymer in 100 ml. of dimethylformamide).
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 128 words
An adhesive composition consisting essentially of one or more polymerizable esters of 2-cyanoacrylic acid according to the general formula ##EQU2## where R is an alkyl or alkenyl group having 1 to 16 carbon atoms, a cyclohexyl group or a phenyl group, and stabilizing additives characterized in that the adhesive includes from about 1% to about 20% by weight of the adhesive composition of a copolymer of from about 50% to about 80% by weight of a lower alkyl-2-cyanoacrylate and from about 50% to about 20% by weight of either styrene or methyl styrene to render said copolymer soluble in said ester of -2-cyanoacrylic acid, said copolymer having a reduced viscosity of from about 0.5 to 2.5 (determined using 0.4 gm. of the copolymer in 100 ml. of dimethylformamide).
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 91 words
An adhesive composition consisting essentially of methyl-2-cyanoacrylate monomer and stabilizing additives, characterized in that the adhesive includes from about 1 to about 20% by weight of the adhesive composition of a copolymer of from about 50 to about 80% by weight of a methyl-2-cyanoacrylate and from about 50 to about 20% by weight of either styrene or methyl styrene to render said copolymer soluble in said methyl-2-cyanoacrylate, said copolymer having a reduced viscosity of from about 0.5 to 2.5 (determined using 0.4 gm. of the copolymer in 100 ml. of dimethylformamide).
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 91 words
An adhesive composition consisting essentially of methyl-2-cyanoacrylate monomer and stabilizing additives, characterized in that the adhesive includes from about 1 to about 20% by weight of the adhesive composition of a copolymer of from about 50 to about 80% by weight of a methyl-2-cyanoacrylate and from about 50 to about 20% by weight of either styrene or methyl styrene to render said copolymer soluble in said methyl-2-cyanoacrylate, said copolymer having a reduced viscosity of from about 0.5 to 2.5 (determined using 0.4 gm. of the copolymer in 100 ml. of dimethylformamide).
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 44 words
An adhesive composition according to claim 2 wherein said copolymer is a copolymer of styrene and methyl-2-cyanoacrylate or ethyl-2-cyanoacrylate, and has a reduced viscosity of from about 1.2 to about 2.5 (determined using 0.4 gm. of the copolymer in 100 ml. of dimethyl formamide.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 22 words
An adhesive composition according to claim 3 wherein the copolymer provides from about 1% to about 5% by weight of the composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 19 words
An adhesive composition according to claim 4 wherein the stabilizing additives include phosphorus pentoxide and monomethyl ether of hydroquinone.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 15 words
An adhesive composition according to claim 5 wherein the stabilizing additives include itaconic acid anhydride.
