Abstract:
A polymer composition includes a polymer component including a pre-dynamic cross- linked polymer composition that includes polyester chains joined by a coupler component; and one or more non-networking flame retardant additives. A method of preparing a dynamic cross- linked polymer composition includes: reacting a coupler component including at least two epoxy groups and a chain component including a polyester; and adding one or more non-networking flame retardant additives. The reaction is performed under such conditions to form a pre- dynamic cross-linked composition, and is performed in the presence of at least one catalyst that promotes the formation of the pre-dynamic cross-linked composition. The pre-dynamic cross- linked composition when subjected to a curing process exhibits particular plateau modulus and internal residual stress relaxation properties.

Abstract:
Methods of grafting a liquid crystalline coating onto a substrate, and articles comprising a substrate with a liquid crystalline coating are disclosed. The liquid crystalline coatings can be formed by (a) applying a primer layer comprising a Type II photoinitiator to a surface of the substrate, then (b) applying a coating mixture that comprises one or more liquid crystalline monomers to the surface of the substrate, and then (c) irradiating the coating mixture to form the liquid crystalline coating. The coating mixture can further comprise a second amount of a Type II photoinitiator. The methods can be performed in open air, at room temperature, or at ambient pressure, and the resulting liquid crystalline coatings can exhibit improved adhesive properties to the substrate.

Abstract:
Provided are pre-dynamically cross-linked compositions including a networking additive including a flame retardant species. Specifically, such compositions include a polymer component including a pre-dynamic cross-linked polymer composition. The pre-dynamic polymer composition includes polyester component chains joined by a coupler component, the coupler component including a flame retardant species. A method of preparing a dynamic cross-linked polymer composition includes: reacting a coupler component including at least two reactive groups and a flame retardant species with a chain component including a polyester. The reacting is performed under such conditions so as to form a pre-dynamic cross-linked composition, and is performed in the presence of at least one catalyst that promotes formation of the pre-dynamic cross-linked composition. The pre-dynamic cross-linked composition, when subjected to a curing process, exhibits certain plateau modulus characteristics and has the capability of relaxing internal residual stresses.
