Provided are a metal-ligand complex, a catalyst composition for ethylene-based polymerization including the same, and a method for preparing an ethylene-based polymer using the same. Since the metal-ligand complex of the present invention in which a certain functional group is introduced to a certain position has high solubility and catalytic activity, the catalyst composition comprising the same for ethylene-based polymerization including the same may produce an ethylene-based polymer having excellent physical properties.

A film-forming composition including a 3-intracyclic cyclopentadienyl precursor and dimethyethylamine is useful for Atomic Layer Deposition, and improves viscosity and volatility while maintaining unique features of metal precursors.

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to articles, coated articles and methods of coating such articles with a rare earth metal containing oxide coating. The coating can contain at least a first metal (e.g., a rare earth metal, tantalum, zirconium, etc.) and a second metal that have been co-deposited onto a surface of the article. The coating can include a homogenous mixture of the first metal and the second metal and does not contain mechanical segregation between layers in the coating.

A fluoropolyether-containing polymer-modified silane has general formula (1) ##STR00001##
wherein Rf is a monovalent fluorooxyalkyl or divalent fluorooxyalkylene-containing polymer residue, Y is a divalent to hexavalent hydrocarbon group which may have a silicon atom and/or a siloxane bond, W is a divalent to hexavalent hydrocarbon group which may have a silicon atom and/or a siloxane bond, R is independently an alkyl of 1 to 4 carbon atoms or phenyl, X is independently hydroxyl or a hydrolyzable group, the letters n, a and m are respectively integers from 1 to 3, 1 to 5 and 1 to 5, and α is 1 or 2. A surface treating agent containing this silane and/or a partial (hydrolytic) condensate thereof, when applied to an article, forms a coat of excellent water/oil repellency and abrasion resistance.
