Abstract:
Described herein are methods of oxidative chemical vapor deposition of polyselenophene films onto non-conductive surfaces. The methods involve a single, dry step. The polyselenophene films formed by these methods have a lower band gap than the theoretically predicted value. Low-band-gap conjugated polymers are attractive for their applications in many devices including field effect transistors, light-emitting diodes, electrochromic devices, and photovoltaics.

An antifouling coating composition comprising (A) a silyl ester copolymer containing constituent units derived from a polymerizable unsaturated carboxylic acid silyl ester; (B) a carboxylic acid; (C) a bivalent or trivalent metal compound; and (D) a dehydrating agent. It is preferred that the component (C) be contained in an amount of 1.2 equivalents or more, in terms of the number of equivalents of metal as a constituent of the component (C), per equivalent of carboxyl group of the carboxylic acid (B); that the component (C) be a bivalent metal compound; and that the component (C) be a compound of at least one metal selected from the group consisting of zinc, copper, magnesium, calcium and barium. From the antifouling coating composition, there can be obtained an antifouling coating film which exhibits less cracking tendency, excellent adherence so as to ensure less peeling tendency and desirably controlled hydrolysis rate so as to be excellent in antifouling performance, in particular, antifouling properties in highly fouling environment and long-term antifouling properties. With respect to the provided antifouling coating composition, its storage stability is high, its concentration can be increased, the amount of solvent used therefor can be reduced, and its applicability is high.

Abstract:
The invention is generally related to a soft contact lens which comprises a hydrogel lens body and a coating of a hydrophilic copolymer thereon and to a method for producing the same. The hydrogel lens body comprises or is made of a polymeric material having 1,2- and/or 1,3-diol moieties, and the hydrophilic copolymer comprises arylborono-containing repeating units each having a boronic acid group. The coating is covalently-attached to the hydrogel lens body through cyclic boronic ester linkages each formed between one boronic acid group and one 1,2-diol or 1,3-diol group. The soft contact lens has a surface lubricity higher than the surface lubricity of the lens body.
Abstract:
A method of improving the adhesion of metathesis compositions, such as ring-opening metathesis polymerization (ROMP) compositions, to a substrate is disclosed, in which an adhesion promoter is added to a polymerizable resin composition in order to improve the adhesion of the polymerizing resin to a substrate material. The addition of the adhesion promoter has been found to provide beneficial improvements in the adhesion of metathesis, especially ROMP, compositions to substrates, particularly glass surfaces, leading to improved characteristics in ROMP materials formed therefrom. The adhesion promoter generally comprises a functionalized silane compound and a peroxide compound. A ROMP composition is further disclosed comprising a cyclic olefin, a ROMP metathesis catalyst, and the adhesion promoter. Polymer products produced via metathesis (ROMP) reactions of the invention may be utilized to provide a wide range of materials and in a variety of composite applications. The invention has utility in the fields of catalysis, organic synthesis, and polymer and materials chemistry and manufacture.
