Abstract:
Methods for fabricating three-dimensional objects by 3D-inkjet printing technology are provided. The methods utilize curable materials that polymerize via ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) for fabricating the object. Systems suitable for performing these methods and kits containing modeling material formulations usable in the methods are also provided.

Abstract:
The invention relates to a polyoctenamer which at room temperature is fluid, colourless and clear and is produced by ring-opening, metathetic polymerization of cyclooctene.
Abstract:
Described herein are associative polymers capable of controlling a physical and/or chemical property of non-polar compositions and related compositions, methods and systems. Associative polymers herein described have a non-polar backbone and functional groups presented at ends of the non-polar backbone, with a number of the functional groups presented at the ends of the non-polar backbone formed by associative functional groups capable of undergoing an associative interaction with another associative functional group with an association constant (k) such that the strength of each associative interaction is less than the strength of a covalent bond between atoms and in particular less than the strength of a covalent bond between backbone atoms.
Abstract:
Disclosed are methods of dispersing sulfonated polythiophenes in a non-aqueous solvent including replacing water for organic solvent without precipitation of the polythiophene. Once dispersed in a non-aqueous solvent, the sulfonated polythiophene can be mixed with a matrix polymer. The materials can be used in organic electronic devices including OLEDs and OPVs. The solvent processes can improve the viscosity properties. Sulfonated regioregular polythiophenes can be used. A benefit is improved solvent compatibility in building organic electronic devices and improved ability to formulate with matrix materials.
