Disclosed are hydrophobic, acrylic materials having both high refractive index and a high Abbe number. The materials may have an internal wetting agent, are well suited for use as implantable ophthalmic devices, and have a refractive index which may be edited through application of energy. When used for an intraocular lens, the high refractive index allows for a thin lens which compresses to allow a small incision size.

Described are silicone hydrogels that are more biocompatible than current ocular materials. The silicone hydrogels are formed from a reactive monomer mixture comprising: a mixture of hydroxyl substituted silicone containing components, at least one polyamide; and at least one hydrophilic monomer. The silicone hydrogels also display a desirable balance of properties, including clarity, oxygen permeability, wettability and desirable protein uptake.

Fabric treatment compositions that include certain polymer systems, such as systems that include a first polymer that is a soil release polymer and a second polymer that is a graft copolymer (e.g., a PEG/vinyl acetate polymer), an alkoxylated polyalkyleneimine polymer, or a mixture thereof. Related processes and uses.

The present invention relates to a complex of polymers and to the use thereof in a method of making paper, cardboard or the like. This complex of polymers is obtained by polymerizing water-soluble monomers: in the presence of a host polymer that comprises vinylamine functions and of a non-polymeric transfer agent, and in the absence of a branching or crosslinking agent of the ethylenic polyfunctional type. It is obtained as from a mass ratio of anionic monomer to water that is greater than 0.035.
