##STR00002##

(R.sup.1, R.sup.2, R.sup.3, a, and p are identical to those described above), a R.sup.4.sub.3SiO.sub.1/2 unit (b) (in the formula, R.sup.4 represents a monovalent hydrocarbon group having 1-10 carbon atoms), and a SiO.sub.4/2 unit (c), and in which the mole ratio of the total of units (a) and (b) to unit (c) is in a range of 0.4 to 1.2:1; and (D) a photoinitiator.

Said composition provides a cured product having excellent elastic modulus and adhesiveness when used as a temporary fixing material.

Ophthalmic devices containing localized grafted networks and processes for their preparation and use

Provided are polymer compositions made by a process comprising: (a) providing a first reactive composition containing: (i) a polymerization initiator that is capable, upon a first activation, of forming two or more free radical groups, at least one of which is further activatable by subsequent activation; (ii) one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds; and (iii) a crosslinker; (b) subjecting the first reactive composition to a first activation step such that the first reactive composition polymerizes therein to form a crosslinked substrate network containing a covalently bound activatable free radical initiator; (c) contacting the crosslinked substrate network with a grafting composition containing one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds, wherein the contacting is conducted under conditions such that the grafting composition penetrates into the crosslinked substrate network; and (d) activating the covalently bound activatable free radical initiator at one or more selective regions of the crosslinked substrate network such that the grafting composition polymerizes with the crosslinked substrate network at the selective regions.

Solid-state method for treating polyamide and polyester articles
11760847 · 2023-09-19 · ·

Solid-state branching and/or crosslinking of aliphatic polyamide or polyester articles is achieved using a topical approach. A surface of the article is coated with a composition that includes a polyene and a free radical initiator. The article and applied coating are then heated to induce branching and/or crosslinking in the polyamide or polyester. This is performed below the crystalline melting temperature of the polyamide or polyester, or in the case of a fabric, below the melting temperature of the fibers in the fabric. Fabrics treated in this manner exhibit reduced or even no dripping in vertical flame tests.
