Polyurethane polymers are described comprising polymerized units comprising a hydroxy functional aromatic group wherein the hydroxy group has been functionalized with an adhesion promoting group. In some embodiments, the polyurethane polymer comprises polymerized units have the general structure wherein L.sub.1 and L.sub.2 are independently divalent linking groups comprising an urethane group; and R.sub.A is an adhesion promoting group bonded to the oxygen atom by means of an ionic or covalent bond. In other embodiments, film articles, laminates are described and methods of making functionalized polyurethane polymers are described.

A modification method of a polyurethane, including the steps of: preparing a polyurethane having an ethylenically unsaturated bond; and treating the polyurethane with a liquid containing a compound having a conjugated double bond, or a modification method of a polyurethane, including the steps of: preparing a polyurethane having a conjugated double bond; and treating the polyurethane with a liquid containing a compound having an ethylenically unsaturated bond is used.

The present invention is directed toward the reduction of light scattering for masks that are used also to convey information by transmission onto light-sensitive materials used for screen printing (stencils), pad printing (cliches), gravure (cylinders), flexography (plates), and other printing processes.

A polyurethane-based UV absorber, obtained by reacting a UV absorber having a reactive hydrogen with a polyisocyanate and a diol or polyol; wherein the weight average molecular weight of the polyurethane-based UV absorber is in a range of 10,000 to 200,000.

The present invention relates to non-aqueous fluoropolymer compositions useful for the preparation of polymeric materials.

The present invention relates to non-aqueous fluoropolymer compositions useful for the preparation of polymeric materials.

The addition of a small amount of an alkyl sulfoxide, e.g., DMSO, to an isocyanate capped prepolymer provides a storage stable prepolymer composition in which the prepolymer is also highly activated towards curing with certain blocked curing agents such as methylenedianiline metal salt coordination complexes. The prepolymer/alkyl sulfoxide compositions are cured by said blocked curing agents at lower temperatures and/or at an accelerated rate compared to similar compositions lacking the alkyl sulfoxide providing high performance polyurethane elastomers.

The instant invention relates to the Fluorochemical composition comprising a dispersion or a solution of a fluorinated compound, wherein said fluorinated compound comprises the reaction product of at least two reactants A and B wherein reactant A being a compound of formula (I);
R.sub.fO(CF(CF.sub.3)CF.sub.2O).sub.mCF(CF.sub.3)XYZ(I)
with R.sub.f being a perfluorinated alkyl group, m being from 3 to 25; X being a carbonyl group or CH2; Y being a chemical bond or an organic divalent or trivalent linking group bearing a functional or difunctional isocyanate reactive group; Z being an organic group bearing at least one cationic group,
reactant B being a polyfunctional isocyanate or a mixture thereof
and optionally one or more isocyanate-reactive co-reactants C.
