The invention relates to a coating composition comprising a reaction product UA of at least one multifunctional aldehyde A with at least one cyclic urea U, and a crosslinkable resin having at least one kind of functional groups selected from the group consisting of hydroxyl functional groups, acid functional groups, amide functional groups, amino functional groups, imino functional groups, mercaptan functional groups, phosphine functional groups, and carbamate functional groups, characterized in that the degree of etherification, measured as the ratio <<(OR)/<<(U) of the amount of substance n(-OR) of alkoxy groups as substituents of the aldehyde carbon atoms of the multifunctional aldehyde chemically bound in the reaction product UA to the amount of substance <<(U) of cyclic urea U chemically bound in the reaction products, is less than 0.01 mol/mol, and to a process for the preparation of the reaction product UA.

Disclosed are memory cells that include a mixture of an acrylic polyol, an alkylene urea-glyoxal resin, and an acid catalyst, and memory devices that contain a plurality of memory cells.

A paint composition includes a fluid and a coloring agent in the fluid. The fluid maintains the coloring agent in a first protonation state. The coloring agent exhibits a first color characteristic in the first protonation state. The paint composition includes microcapsules in the fluid. The paint composition also includes a chemical compound in the microcapsules. Rupture of at least a portion of the microcapsules is configured to release the chemical compound and expose the coloring agent to the chemical compound. Exposure of the coloring agent to the chemical compound changes the coloring agent from the first protonation state with the first color characteristic to a second protonation state with a second color characteristic. The second color characteristic is visually distinct from the first color characteristic.

Provided are energy curable high-stretch inks and coatings for heat transfer labels. The inks and coatings include monofunctional monomers/oligomers, thermoplastic inert resins, and zero or a limited amount of multifunctional monomers/oligomers and exhibit good stretchability and surface resistance, such as scratch resistance and solvent (water, oil) resistance. Also provided are methods of using the high stretch inks in heat-transfer label (HTL) applications.
