Provided in the invention is an adhesion promoter (AP) that is the reaction product of: (i-1) at least one hydroxyl functional (meth)acrylated compound bearing at least two (meth)acryloyl groups, (i-2) optionally, at least one hydroxyl functional (meth)acrylated compound bearing one (meth)acryloyl group (ii), at least one titanium orthoester (ii-a) and/or at least one zirconium orthoester (ii-b), and, (iii) optionally, at least one other compound (iii) that is capable to react with hydroxyl groups. Materials of the invention are suitable for use in coating compositions, inks, paints, varnishes (including overprint varnishes), adhesives (including laminating adhesives), for the making of composites, molding compositions or 3D articles. Materials of the invention are suitable for use in inks and coating compositions (clear or pigmented).

The invention provides dispersed inorganic mixed metal oxide pigment compositions in a non-aqueous media utilizing a polyester dispersant having a terminal hydroxyl, tertiary amine or quaternized amine anchoring group and a mixed metal oxide pigment. The metal oxide pigment is of the type used to colour ceramic or glass articles. A milling process using beads is also described to reduce the mixed metal oxide particle size to the desired range. A method of using the mixed metal oxide dispersion to digitally print an image on a ceramic or glass article using the dispersion jetted through a nozzle and firing the coloured article is also described.

Organometallic redox mediator compounds, such as substituted ferrocenes or other metallocenes, and redox polymers comprising the organometallic redox mediators are described. The organic groups of the organometallic redox mediators can be substituted with multiple (e.g., at least three or at least four) electron-donating substituents, which can reduce the redox potential of the redox mediator compared to the corresponding unsubstituted redox mediator. Electrodes coated with the redox polymers or blends comprising the redox polymers are described, as are related electrochemical sensors. In addition, methods of using the sensors to detect biological analytes of interest, such as glucose or ketones, are described.

The invention is generally related to a soft contact lens which comprises a hydrogel lens body and a coating of a hydrophilic copolymer thereon and to a method for producing the same. The hydrogel lens body comprises or is made of a polymeric material having 1,2- and/or 1,3-diol moieties, and the hydrophilic copolymer comprises arylborono-containing repeating units each having a boronic acid group. The coating is covalently-attached to the hydrogel lens body through cyclic boronic ester linkages each formed between one boronic acid group and one 1,2-diol or 1,3-diol group. The soft contact lens has a surface lubricity higher than the surface lubricity of the lens body.
