The invention is related to thermal imageable dielectric layers and thermal transfer donors and receivers comprising dielectric layers. The thermal transfer donors are useful in making electronic devices by thermal transfer of dielectric layers having excellent resistivity, good transfer properties and good adhesion to a variety of receivers.
Abstract:
Novel iron and cobalt complexes of certain novel tricyclic ligands containing a “pyridine” ring and substituted with two imino groups are po-lymerization and/or oligomerization catalysts for olefins, especially ethyl-ene. Depending on the exact structure of the ligand, and polymerization process conditions, products ranging from a-olefins to high polymers may be produced. The polymers, especially polyethylenes, are useful for films and as molding resins.
Abstract:
Ethylene and allyl- or vinylsilanes are efficiently copolymerized by certain late transition metal complexes containing selected bidentate or tridentate ligands. The resulting novel polymers may be crosslinked by moisture when vinylsilane contains groups bound to silicon which are hydrolyzable. The polymers are useful for wire coating, crosslinked foams, pipes, and other uses.
Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a process for the polymerization of ethylene, norbornenes and styrenes, by contacting in solution a selected nickel compound and a selected compound which is or can be coordinated to the nickel with the olefin(s). The polymers produced are useful for films and molding resins.
