Abstract:
Branched polydiorganosiloxane polyamide, block copolymers and methods of making the copolymers are provided. The method of making the copolymers involves reacting one or more amine compounds including at least one polyamine with a precursor having at least one polydiorganosiloxane segment and at least two ester groups.
Abstract:
A composition that includes a blend of a pressure sensitive adhesive and an ultraviolet light-absorbing oligomer. The oligomer has a first divalent unit having a pendent ultraviolet absorbing group and a second divalent unit represented by formula in which R1 is hydrogen or methyl, and R2 is alkyl having from 4 to 20 carbon atom. Articles including the composition are disclosed. For example, an assembly including a barrier film and the composition is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic copolymer that includes a first divalent unit having a pendent ultraviolet absorbing group and a second divalent unit that is fluorinated. A fluoropolymer composition including the thermoplastic copolymer is also disclosed.
Abstract:
A composition that includes a blend of a fluoropolymer and an ultraviolet light-absorbing oligomer. The oligomer has a first divalent unit having a pendent ultraviolet absorbing group and a second divalent unit represented by formula (I): At least one of the following limitations is also met: the ultraviolet light-absorbing oligomer further comprises a third divalent unit comprising a pendent 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl group, or the composition further comprises a second oligomer comprising a third divalent unit comprising a pendent 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl group at least one of the second divalent units. Articles including the composition are disclosed. The composition can be an extruded film. A method of making such an extruded film is also disclosed.
Abstract:
The present application generally relates to EAA films including at least one triazine-based ultraviolet absorber. The present application also generally related to retroreflective sheeting including an EAA film including a triazine-based ultraviolet absorber. One embodiments of the present application relates to a film, comprising poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) and a triazine-based UVA. Another embodiment of the present application relates to retroreflective sheeting, comprising: a plurality of cube corner elements; and a body layer adjacent to the cube corner elements, the body layer including poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) and a triazine-based UVA.

Abstract:
Laser-personalizable security articles include multi-layer security documents. The multi-layer security document includes an optically transparent cover layer, a composite image and an imagable layer adjacent to the cover layer. The first surface of the cover layer is at least partially a microstructured surface, where the microstructured surface forms microlenses or a lenticular surface. The composite image is made by a collection of complete or partial images viewed through the microstructured surface of the cover layer. The composite image is located on or within the second surface of the cover layer. The imagable layer is a laser imagable layer. When imaged, a personalized second composite three dimensional image is created on or in the imagable layer.
