Representative polymers have the structure of formula (I): 1 wherein: Ar1 and Ar2 are independently selected from the group consisting of monocyclic, bicyclic and polycyclic arylene, heteroarylene, substituted arylene and substituted heteroarylene groups; L is alkylene, alkenylene, substituted alkylene, substituted alkenylene, heteroalkylene, heteroalkenylene, substituted heteroalkylene, substituted heteroalkenylene, arylene, heteroarylene, substituted arylene or substituted heteroarylene; m is zero or 1; n is zero or 1; Q1 and Q2 are independently selected from the group consisting of H, aryl, heteroaryl, substituted aryl, substituted heteroaryl, alkyl, and substituted alkyl, and Q3 is selected from the group consisting of alkyl and substituted alkyl, with the proviso that when m is 1, Q1 and Q2 are other than H; and Anull is an anionic counterion such as a halide ion. Electroluminescent and other devices containing a polymer of the invention are also provided.
Abstract:
Improved anti-reflective coating compositions for use in integrated circuit manufacturing processes and methods of forming these compositions are provided. Broadly, the compositions are formed by heating a solution comprising a compound including specific compounds (e.g., alkoxy alkyl melamines, alkoxy alkyl benzoguanamines) under acidic conditions so as to polymerize the compounds and form polymers having an average molecular weight of at least about 1,000 Daltons. The monomers of the resulting polymers are joined to one another via linkage groups (e.g., nullCH2null, nullCH2nullOnullCH2null) which are bonded to nitrogen atoms on the respective monomers. The polymerized compound is mixed with a solvent and applied to a substrate surface after which it is baked to form an anti-reflective layer. The resulting layer has high k values, improved etch rates, and can be formulated for both conformal and planar applications.
Abstract:
The present invention is generally directed to a polyaniline/high molecular weight polymeric sulfonic acid complex made by oxidative polymerization, and aqueous polyaniline dispersions, where the viscosity of the dispersion has been increased by the presence of the high molecular weight polymeric sulfonic acids during the polymerization process.

Abstract:
The method for forming a finely divided polymerizate in the form of a dispersion (D) of particles (50, 51) for the purpose of manufacturing powder lacquers or fiber compound materials comprises two steps: 1) In a first step a solution (S1) of a polymer (P), which is dissolved in a first liquid (L1), is emulsified in a second liquid (L2). The polymer is not soluble in the second liquid. The first liquid has a lower boiling point than the second and it is soluble in the second only to a limited extent. Owing to the limited solubility the polymer remains dissolved in the droplets which arise during the emulsification. Under the influence of mechanical meansnullin particular of a high speed stirring apparatus (31, 32)nulland by shear forces caused by the latter, droplets are formed, the average diameter (d) of which corresponds to one of the named uses and is preferably less than 0.03 mm. 2) In a second step the first liquid is removed by distillation from the mixture while retaining the emulsion (E), so that the polymer solidifies in the form of particles, in particular spheroid polymer particles.

Doped polyanilines are prepared by contacting aniline with an oxidizing agent such as ammonium peroxydisulfate in aqueous solution at a temperature of at most about 10null C. in the presence of at least one organic sulfonic acid, preferably an alkylbenzenesulfonic acid such as dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid. The products may be blended with thermoplastic resins such as polystyrene to produce blends having excellent static discharge properties

The invention relates to carbodiimide-based block copolymers, a method of preparing them and also their use as hydrolysis stabilizers in ester-group-containing polymers. The advantages of the block copolymers according to the invention are, in particular, their high efficiency at low dosage as hydrolysis protection in ester-group-containing polymers, and also their nontoxic behavior, their high thermal stability and their good compatibility during incorporation in the polymeric matrix of the polymers to be protected.
