US Patent 7645443 Polyether-based composition curable by metathesis reaction

One-part and two-part compositions curable by a metathesis reaction comprising a resin containing a polyether-based substrate with at least two cycloolefin groups per molecule curable by a metathesis reaction with a metathesis catalyst. These compositions may optionally contain a reaction control agent for slowing the progress of the metathesis reaction. The metathesis catalyst can be a ruthenium carbene complex catalyst. The substrate may be, for example, a difunctional urethane polyester or polyether carboxylate containing norbornenyl end groups.
