Embodiments encompassing a series of compositions containing photoacid generator (PAG) and a base are disclosed and claimed. The compositions are useful as permanent dielectric materials. More specifically, embodiments encompassing compositions containing a series of copolymers of a variety of norbornene-type cycloolefinic monomers and maleic anhydride in which maleic anhydride is fully or partially hydrolyzed (i.e., ring opened and fully or partially esterified), PAG and a base, which are useful in forming permanent dielectric materials having utility in a variety of electronic material applications, among various other uses, are disclosed.

Disclosure relates to modified sulfur, preparation method thereof, preparation equipment thereof. The modified sulfur has spinnability or includes micro-structures such as fiber-, film- and network-like structure. The modified sulfur can be prepared by inducing polymerization with ultrasonic or ageing. The modified sulfur has various excellent features such as anticorrosiveness, waterproofing, strength, and fast drying and can control the features depending on its viscosity or polymerization degree. In addition due to the above features, the modified sulfur can be applied to anticorrosive or waterproofing material and can prepare anticorrosive or waterproofing material which has good workability, hardening, salt spray resistance, and weldability exceeding a certain level, and specially improved adhesiveness. Furthermore, when applying the modified sulfur to asphalt composition, gelation and depression are reduced, properties such as bending strength and tensile strength are improved, and it is possible to obtain asphalt composition with good working stability at RT.
