Multilayer composites laminates comprising continuous fibers and a polymer matrix including a thermoplastic polymer and an impact modifier are disclosed. The invention further relates to articles incorporating the thermoplastic composites laminate.

A dispersion comprised of at least 49 wt % of additive particles, a polymerizable monomer, a dispersant and a solvent. Upon polymerization the dispersion forms a hard coat with a haze of at most 0.5% and a transmission of at least 90%. A hard coat comprises at least 49 wt % of additive particles dispersed in a polymer. A method of making a hard coat comprises forming a dispersion, applying the dispersion to one side of a substrate, and polymerizing the dispersion. The hard coat has a haze of at most 0.5% and a transmission of at least 90%.

Provided is an electromagnetic-wave absorbing sheet that can favorably absorb electromagnetic waves while having high flexibility and being handled easily. The electromagnetic-wave absorbing sheet having flexibility includes an electric resistance film 1 and a dielectric layer 2 and an electromagnetic-wave shielding layer 3 that are stacked sequentially. The electric resistance film is formed of a conductive organic polymer.

The present invention provides a cation exchange resin, and a cation exchange membrane and an electrolyte membrane for a fuel cell using the same. The cation exchange resin comprises a divalent hydrophobic unit; and a divalent hydrophilic unit having divalent hydrophilic groups which are repeated via carbon-carbon bond. The divalent hydrophilic groups being composed of one aromatic ring, or being composed of a plurality of aromatic rings which are bonded to each other via a divalent hydrocarbon group, a divalent silicon-containing group, a divalent nitrogen-containing group, a divalent phosphorus-containing group, a divalent oxygen-containing group, a divalent sulfur-containing group, or carbon-carbon bond, and at least one of the aromatic rings having a cation exchange group; wherein the hydrophobic unit and the hydrophilic unit are bonded to each other via carbon-carbon bond.

An example of a bottlebrush polymer has a polymer backbone and a plurality of individual brush moieties bonded to the polymer backbone. The individual brush moieties include a ketone, a hydrophilic segment, and a surface adhesive terminal group. The brush moieties can be functionalized and/or cross-linked.

A structured organic film (SOF) is disclosed. The structured organic film includes a plurality of segments, a plurality of linkers, and a plurality of capping segments. The structured organic film also includes a first surface of the SOF. The film also includes a parallel second surface of the SOF connected to the first surface by a thickness of the SOF, where a segment to capping segment ratio is greater at the first surface as compared to the parallel second surface. A membrane including a free-standing film comprised of a structured organic film is also disclosed.

A wearable device including a body made of an elastic material having a polymeric backbone where a portion of the polymeric backbone is unsaturated. The body has an outer surface that is oxidized on at least one part with at least one functional group where the at least one part of the outer surface is more oleophobic than the body.

Disclosed is a thermoplastic resin composition obtainable by melt-kneading an alicyclic structure-containing polymer, an aqueous dispersion of a metal oxide, and a polyglycerin fatty acid ester. Thus, a thermoplastic resin composition is provided which has low haze and excellent transparency as well as sufficient heat ray shielding property and is suitable for windows and window parts for general buildings or vehicles.

The present invention relates to a method for selective cell attachment/detachment, cell patternization and cell harvesting by means of near infrared rays. More particularly, conducting polymers or metal oxides having exothermic characteristics upon irradiation of near infrared light is used as a cell culture scaffold, thus selectively attaching/detaching cells without an enzyme treatment. The scaffold has an effect of promoting proliferation or differentiation of stem cells, and therefore, can be used as a stem cell culture scaffold. The scaffold enables cell attachment/detachment without temporal or spatial restrictions, thus enabling cell patternization.

An anion exchange membrane is made by mixing 2 trifluoromethyl ketone [nominal] (1.12 g, 4.53 mmol), 1 BiPhenyl (0.70 g, 4.53 mmol), methylene chloride (3.0 mL), trifluoromethanesulfonic acid (TFSA) (3.0 mL) to produce a pre-polymer. The pre-polymer is then functionalized to produce an anion exchange polymer. The pre-polymer may be functionalized with trimethylamamine in solution with water. The pre-polymer may be imbibed into a porous scaffold material, such as expanded polytetrafluoroethylene to produce a composite anion exchange membrane.
