elastomeric polymer to undergo crosslinking in the presence of
a suitable radiation-activatable crosslinking agent; and (b) a
radiation-activatable crosslinking agent of the formula:
3The examiner has expressly withdrawn the rejection of
claims 1-7 under 35 U.S.C. § 102(e) as anticipated by
Everaerts. (Examiner’s answer, p. 3.)
