Patent ID: 7910680

Claim:
A process for preparing a reactive monomer composition comprising: a. reacting an alkanolamine with a compound having at least one reactive hydroxy group or moiety, the compound being selected from the group consisting of hydroxy-functionalized triglycerides, hydroxy-functionalized fatty acids and hydroxy-functionalized fatty acid esters, to convert the compound to an amide polyol; and b. reacting the amide polyol with an α, β-unsaturated acylating agent to convert the amide polyol to an amide poly-α, β-unsaturated acylate; and wherein the reactive monomer composition comprising an amide poly-α, β-unsaturated acylate represented by formula I: wherein R 1 is a hydrocarbylene moiety; R 2 is hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl moiety; R 3 is nil or a hydrocarbylene moiety; R 4 is a hydrocarbylene moiety; R 5 is H, a hydrocarbyl moiety or a moiety represented by Formula II: wherein R 4 is as defined above and R 7 , R 8 and R 9 are independently hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl moiety; R 6 is a moiety having Formula III: wherein R 7 , R 8 and R 9 are independently defined as above; and m, n, and o are independently 0 or 1 provided, however that a sum of m, n and o is a positive integer greater than zero.
