The invention is directed to latent metathesis-active resin compositions and additive manufacturing approaches. The latent metathesis-active compositions comprise at least one latent metathesis catalyst, at least one curable metathesis-active monomer, and optional fillers, photosensitizers, and/or a secondary monomer resin system for dual-cure. A method comprises extruding a latent metathesis-active resin from a dispensing apparatus and spatially triggering a ring-opening metathesis polymerization by directed irradiation with light or directed application of a thermal stimuli for direct-ink write printing of objects. Another method uses a latent metathesis-active resin for vat photopolymerization and stereolithographic printing of objects.

A crosslinkable polymer composition and a crosslinked polymer material including a metal member and a wiring harness. The crosslinkable polymer composition contains component A from which metal ion is released by heat, component B containing an organic polymer having a substituent capable of ionic bonding with the metal ion released from component A, and component C containing one or more acidic phosphate ester with a carbon number of 4 to 30. Assuming that the metal ion released from component A has a valence of +y and a content of the metal ion is m mol, the substituent contained in component B has a valence of −z and a content of the substituent is n mol, the acidic phosphate constituting component C has a valence of −x and a content of the acidic phosphate esters is 1 mol

g≥0.1 holds for g=(m.Math.y−l.Math.x)/(n.Math.z).

The invention relates to compositions and methods of treatment employing compositions comprising polyelectrolyte complexes. The compositions include a water-soluble first polyelectrolyte bearing a net cationic charge or capable of developing a net cationic charge and a water-soluble second polyelectrolyte bearing a net anionic charge or capable of developing a net anionic charge. The total polyelectrolyte concentration of the first solution is at least 110 millimolar. The composition is free of coacervates, precipitates, latex particles, synthetic block copolymers, silicone copolymers, cross-linked poly(acrylic) and cross-linked water-soluble polyelectrolyte. The composition may be a concentrate, to be diluted prior to use to treat a surface.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention encompass compositions containing one or more polycycloolefinic monomers and at least one multifunctional olefinic monomer which when subjected to a suitable temperature undergoes mass polymerization to provide a three-dimensional insulating article which exhibits hitherto unattainable low dielectric constant and low-loss properties, and very high thermal properties. The compositions of this invention may additionally contain one or more organic or inorganic filler materials, which provide improved thermo-mechanical properties in addition to very low dielectric properties. The compositions are stable at room temperature and undergo mass polymerization only when subjected to suitable higher temperatures generally above 100° C. The compositions of this invention are useful in various applications, including as insulating materials in millimeter wave radar antennas, among others.
