The invention also includes orthopedic implants with water swellable IPN or semi-IPNs including a hydrophobic thermoset or thermoplastic polymer first network and an ionic polymer second network, joint capsules, labral components, and bone interface members. The invention also includes a method of inserting an orthopedic implant having a metal portion and a flexible polymer portion into a joint, including inserting the implant in a joint in a first shape and changing the implant from a first shape to a second shape to conform to a shape of a bone.

A conductive adhesive contains a thermosetting resin (A), a conductive filler (B), and a filling-performance improver (C). The thermosetting resin (A) contains a first resin component (A1) having a first functional group, and a second resin component (A2) having a second functional group that reacts with the first functional group. The filling-performance improver (C) contains an organic salt. The conductive adhesive contains from 40 to 140 parts by mass of the filling-performance improver (C) relative to 100 parts by mass of the thermosetting resin.

A fire protection composition contains a binder on the basis of an alkoxysilane-functionalized polymer and a liquid carbon supplier. The fire protection composition allows application in a simple and rapid manner of coatings having the layer thickness required for the particular fire resistance time, the layer thickness being reduced to a minimum while achieving a good fireproofing effect. The fire-protection composition is formulated as a multi-component system. The fire-protection composition is particularly suitable for fire protection, especially as a coating of construction elements such as steel carriers.
