The invention is generally related to an embedded silicone hydrogel contact lens comprising a silicone hydrogel material and a hydrophobic insert. The silicone hydrogel material comprises repeating units of at least one first polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker comprising hydrophilized siloxane units each having one methyl substituent and one organic radical including at least one H-bond donor (e.g., hydroxyl groups), wherein the content of said at least one H-bond donor is at least 0.8 meq/g relative to the molecular weight of said at least one first polysiloxane vinylic crosslinker. The hydrophobic insert is composed of a crosslinked polymeric material comprising at least 40% by mole of acrylic repeating units and at least 6% by mole of repeating units of at least one vinylic crosslinking agent. The embedded silicone hydrogel is not susceptible to delamination.

Orthodontic articles and polymerizable resin compositions are described. The orthodontic article comprises a cured composition comprising the reaction product of free-radically polymerizable resin comprising 30 to 70 wt. %, inclusive, of at least one urethane component, and 25 to 70 wt. %, inclusive, of reactive diluent(s) comprising at least one monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomer. The polymerizable resin comprises no greater than 35 wt. % of reactive diluent(s) having a high affinity for water. Reactive diluent(s) such as monofunctional (meth)acrylate monomers having a high affinity for water have low log P values. In one embodiment, the polymerizable resin comprises at least one acidic monomer.

An aqueous coating composition is provided that is useful in coating a variety of substrates, including interior or exterior portions of food or beverage cans. The coating composition includes a resin system that includes a multi-stage latex. In some embodiments, the multi-stage latex is formed using a process that includes emulsion polymerizing two or more stages in the presence of an aqueous dispersion including a water-dispersible polymer. In certain preferred embodiments, the water-dispersible polymer is a polyether polymer.

The present invention provides an adhesive composition that exhibits excellent adhesive force, and can be easily separated by photocuring during a peeling step, in which foaming and lifting are not generated even after a high temperature process.
