Abstract:
Provided are a copolymer having enough biocompatibility to be used in a medical material application, and a method of forming a crosslinked body, which involves modifying a substrate surface with the copolymer so that the surface may be biocompatible. More specifically, a protein adsorption-suppressing effect and a cell adhesion-suppressing effect, which are features of a phosphorylcholine group, are imparted to the substrate surface. It has been found that the object is achieved by a copolymer containing a phosphorylcholine constitutional unit, a hydrophobic constitutional unit, and a photoreactive constitutional unit at a specific ratio.
Abstract:
A method for making an ophthalmic lens includes following steps of providing a suspension liquid and a lens substrate, the suspension liquid comprising a hydrophilic polymer, a clay, and water; and applying the suspension liquid on at least one surface of the lens substrate to cause the clay to be dispersed on the surface of the lens substrate and the hydrophilic polymer to be bonded to the surface of the lens substrate through the clay, thereby forming a hydrophilic layer on the surface of the lens substrate to obtain the ophthalmic lens. The disclosure also provides an ophthalmic lens.
Abstract:
The present invention is an above-critical coating composition comprising an aqueous dispersion of polymer particles, pigment particles, and extender particles wherein the polymer particles comprise, in a single phase and based on the weight of the polymer particles, from 35 to 79.9 weight percent structural units of vinyl acetate and from 0.1 to 6 weight percent structural units of a phosphorus acid monomer or a salt thereof, wherein the polymer particles have a particle size by dynamic light scattering of from 250 nm to 500 nm. The above-critical composition shows surprising improvements in hiding with increasing particle size of the polymer particles.

The present invention relates to a polymer dispersion of polymer particles comprising phosphorous-containing (meth)acrylate monomers and phosphorus-containing allylic monomers. The present invention further relates to a coating composition made from the polymer dispersion with both satisfactory coating viscosity stability and improved coating performances such as scrub resistance, stain resistance, corrosion resistance and durability.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a composition of a stable aqueous dispersion of polymer particles comprising structural units of a) vinyl acetate; b) a vinyl ester of a branched carboxylic acid monomer; and c) a phosphorus acid monomer. The composition of the present invention provides vinyl ester/phosphorus acid based polymer particles that improve hiding efficiency in pigmented coatings formulations.

Abstract:
The present invention provides surface treated articles comprising a recoatable surface treatment of an acrylic or vinyl polymer that does not change the appearance of the treated surface, and which imparts blocking resistance and/or stain and dirt pickup resistance to the treated surface. The one or more acrylic or vinyl polymer has a number average molecular weight of from 1,000 to 100,000, a glass transition temperature of −10° C. or higher, preferably, 30° C. or higher, and comprises the polymerization product of one or more non-ionic monomer, such as methyl methacrylate, with up to 47 wt. % of an ethylenically unsaturated acid monomer and, preferably, is non-migrating under use conditions. When dry, the surface treatments may form a layer of domains of polymer distributed all over the treated surface, rather than a film. Treated articles include coating or painted articles and elastomer films.
Abstract:
An aqueous dispersion containing a vinylidene chloride polymer (P1) containing vinylidene chloride in a proportion of at least 50% by weight, and at least one random, alternating or gradient copolymer (C1) having: a) at least one monomer unit (m1) carrying at least one phosphonate group —PO(OH)(OR1) with R1 being a hydrogen atom or an alkyl radical comprising from 1 to 11 carbon atoms, and b) monomer units (m2) which represent at least 50% by weight of the copolymer (C1), derived from at least one monomer (M2) chosen from styrene, maleic anhydride, itaconic acid and the (meth)acrylic monomers corresponding to the general formula CH2=CR2R3 in which R2 and R3 are described herein, copolymer (C1) not containing monomer units derived from vinylidene chloride.
Abstract:
A paint comprising a calcium carbonate that is obtained by dry-grinding in the presence of a grinding aid agent comprising a copolymer of (meth)acrylic acid with a monomer containing an alkoxy or hydroxy polyalkyleneglycol group.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a polymerizable phosphazene derivative with a general structural formula[.brket open-st.NP(A).sub.a (B).sub.b).brket close-st.]xwherein the groups A and B are bonded to phosphorus atoms through --O--, --S--, --NH--, or --NR-- (with R=C.sub.1 -C.sub.6) alkyl), and wherein A stands more precisely for a vinyl ether group or a styrene ether group, and B stands more precisely for a hydrocarbon group. The invention also relates to procedures for synthesizing such phosphazene derivatives. The phosphazenes derivatives of the invention can be cured by a process that is initiated cationically, which leads to a large number of advantages. The phosphazene derivatives of the invention can, in particular, be used as curable binders for paints, coatings, fillers, mastics, adhesives, moldings, or films. Paints or coatings comprising the phosphazene derivatives of the invention show especially high mechanical resistance and scratch resistance.
