A coated glass substrate is disclosed as well as a method of making the coated glass substrate. The coated glass substrate comprises a glass substrate and a coating on a surface of the glass substrate wherein the coating includes a binder. The binder may include an interpenetrating network. For example, the network may include a crosslinked polyacrylate and a crosslinked polyacrylamide. In addition, the transparency of the coated substrate after one of the following conditions may be within 10% of the transparency of the coated substrate prior to the condition: (i) wherein the coated substrate is stored at a temperature of 0° C. or less and then exposed to an environment at 21° C. and 70% humidity or (ii) wherein the coated substrate is positioned within 100° C. steam for one minute.

A method of coating a structure is disclosed. Method steps include providing a structure having a first portion of a first material having a first surface and providing a second portion of a second material having a second surface, wherein a mask is provided over the first surface. Another step includes exposing the mask and the second surface to a solution comprising a polymer and a solvent, wherein the solution dewets from the mask and the polymer collects onto the second surface to form a polymer coating over the second surface without forming a polymer coating on the first surface.

An allergen reducing agent is provided that contains a terpenoid polymer or copolymer as an active component, and that functions to reduce allergens such as mites and pollen, and is capable of suppressing coloring.

Disclosed is a method of coating an object made of a first material and a second material that is different from the first material. The method includes dispensing a polymer solution onto the object, wherein the polymer solution has a property that wets one of the first material and the second material and dewets the other one of the first material and the second material.

Polymer composite photonic crystal materials are disclosed as coatings which have high reflection (>30%) in a specific range of the electromagnetic spectrum, such as ultraviolet (<400 nm), visible (Vis, 400 nm-700 nm), or near-infrared radiation range (NIR, 700-2000 nm), and relatively low reflection (<20% reflection) in a second, different range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Surprisingly, it was found that through a formulation and additives approach, the optical properties of polymer composite photonic crystal films can be selectively modified from a variety of different coating methods, including spray deposition.

This invention relates to a graft copolymer comprising: a) a macromonomer, wherein the macromonomer comprises in polymerized form a first monoethylenically unsaturated monomer selected from a group consisting of esters of methacrylic acid and acrylic acid with straight or branched alcohols having 1 to 3 carbon atoms and no more than 5 mole % an addition fragmentation chain transfer agent; and b) at least one side chain on the macromonomer, wherein the at least one side chain comprises at least 95 wt.-% of acrylic acid in polymerized form,
and its use for improving the dirt pick-up resistance of a paint or coating.
