The invention relates to an amine terminated prepolymer and to a curable composition containing said prepolymer. These compositions are used to manufacture sealants, coatings or adhesives useful in the field of construction, public works and civil engineering.
In public works or construction works, it is necessary to protect structures, generally made of concrete, against any infiltration of water. To do this, sealants or coatings are applied on the structures.
The use of liquid compositions is preferred over prefabricated membranes as they are easier to apply and lead to flexible and continuous membranes that adhere to the structure.
Sealants or coatings can be obtained from acrylic dispersions in aqueous solution which harden on loss of water. However, these products have the drawback of hardening at the surface after application, forming a very thin coating which makes the evaporation of water difficult, thus giving rise to the formation of blisters. These products cure slowly, especially in cold weather, they are very sensitive to rain before they have totally cured, and they form blisters in summer. What is more, these products show poor resistance to prolonged immersion in water, and are therefore unsuitable for waterproofing horizontal flat surfaces. Finally, their mechanical strength is insufficient for use on traffic-bearing surfaces.
Sealants or coatings obtained with polyurethane resins are also known, for example two-component compositions or one-component compositions containing significant amounts of solvents and/or plasticizers. Polyurethane resins contain residual diisocyanates which are considered as harmful to health and to the environment since they may release free diisocyanate monomers. Further, the use of solvents generates compositions having the following drawbacks:
Additionally, the use of inert exogenous plasticizers generates compositions having the following drawbacks:
There is still a need for prepolymers and liquid two-component curable compositions to provide elastomeric sealants, coatings or adhesives that exhibit one or more of the following properties:

Michael addition is a chemical reaction in which an enolate anion (nucleophile) reacts with an activated α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound (electrophile) according to a 1,4-addition.

Michael addition is one of the most versatile reactions in organic synthesis with its click chemistry nature, no byproducts, and the mild conditions required for the reaction. An example of a Michael addition is represented in the scheme below:
The first step of a Michael reaction is transforming a ketone to an enolate, or nucleophile, through deprotonation due to the addition of a base. This negative charge initiates 1,4-addition on an α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound which is then protonated and forms the final product. The reaction is thermodynamically controlled as the donors are active methylenes and the acceptors are activated olefins.
In accordance with an aspect, a Michael addition reaction can be employed to manufacture amine terminated polymers useful for obtaining two-component curable sealants, coatings or adhesives. The method involves reacting a multifunctional α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound with a secondary diamine. The secondary diamine is a Michael donor and the multifunctional α,β-unsaturated carbonyl compound is a Michael acceptor.

Preferably the secondary diamine is represented by formula (5a) wherein R5 is C1-C20 alkyl, R7 is H or C1-C20 alkyl, and R6 and R8 are H. Even more preferably, the secondary diamine is represented by formula (5a) wherein R5 is methyl, R7 is H or methyl, and R6 and R8 are H.
In the method of the invention, the reaction between the electrophile and the secondary diamine may be carried out in the presence or in the absence of a solvent. Preferably, the reaction between the electrophile and the secondary diamine is carried out in the absence of a solvent.
In the method of the invention, the reaction between the electrophile and secondary diamine may be carried out in the presence or in the absence of a catalyst. In particular, said catalyst may be a base, more particularly 1,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane (DABCO) or 1,8-diazabicyclo[5.4.0]undec-7-ene (DBU). Preferably, the reaction between the electrophile and the secondary diamine is carried out in the absence of a catalyst.
In the method of the invention, the reaction between the electrophile and the secondary diamine may be carried out ata temperature of 10 to 80° C., in particular 15 to 60° C., more particularly 20 to 40° C., during a time of 5 min to 4 h, in particular 15 min to 2 h, more particularly 30 min to 1 h.
The completion of the reaction may be monitored by Fourier-transform infrared (FT IR) spectroscopy. FT IR spectroscopy works by sending infrared radiation through a chemical sample, where some radiation is absorbed into the sample and some passes through. The radiation that is absorbed is converted to vibrational energy, which produces a unique signal that identifies the compound. During the Michael addition, the carbon-carbon double bond of the electrophile is transformed into a carbon-carbon single bond. Once the FT IR signal of the carbon-carbon double bond disappears, the reaction may be considered as finished. The reaction may alternatively be monitored by Proton Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (1H-NMR). Once the α,β-unsaturated carbonyl group has reacted, the signals of the ethylenic protons (between 5.8 and 6.5 ppm) are no longer visible and a new signals relative to single bonds CH2—CH2 are present.
