A composition for forming an electroless plating undercoat comprising: (A) a conductive polymer (B) one or more resins selected from the group consisting of a polyester polyol resin and a polyether polyol resin; and (C) a polyisocyanate compound.

The present invention relates to compositions containing halogen-free polymeric carbodiimide, halogen-free epoxide and polyester-based polymers, in particular polybutylene terephthalate-based compositions, to articles of manufacture and to their production and use.

A well treatment composition for use in a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, optionally as a kill pill, and comprising a reversible aminal gel composition. The reversible aminal gel composition includes a liquid precursor composition. The liquid precursor composition is operable to remain in a liquid state at about room temperature. The liquid precursor composition comprises an organic amine composition; an aldehyde composition; a polar aprotic organic solvent; and a metal salt composition. The liquid precursor composition transitions from the liquid state to a gel state responsive to an increase in temperature in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir. The gel state is stable in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir at a temperature similar to a temperature of the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, and the gel state is operable to return to the liquid state responsive to a change in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir selected from the group consisting of: a decrease in pH in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir and an addition of excess metal salt composition in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir.

Lyophilized chromophoric polymer dot compositions are provided. Also disclosed are methods of making and using the lyophilized compositions, methods of dispersing the lyophilized compositions in aqueous solutions and kits supplying the compositions.

A resin blend is provided including a blend of resorcinol diphthalonitrile ether resin and a bisphenol M diphthalonitrile ether resin. Another resin blend is provided including a blend of resorcinol diphthalonitrile ether resin and a bisphenol T diphthalonitrile ether resin. The resin blends prior to cure have more favorable processing and curing properties compared to the resorcinol diphthalonitrile resin alone, enabling greater ease in manufacturing.
