Provided is a curable resin composition having developability and resolution improved without degrading the heat resistance and the chemical resistance, furthermore, a curable resin composition that is useful as a PID material for optical uses or a material for optical sensor protective films and enables the formation of a cured product having both higher transparency and excellent heat resistance, a dry film containing the curable resin composition, a cured product thereof and a printed wiring board including the cured product. A curable resin composition containing (A) an amide-imide resin, (B) a compound having an ethylenic double bond and (C) a photopolymerization initiator, wherein the amide-imide resin (A) is a reaction product of an isocyanurate-type polyisocyanate synthesized from an isocyanate having an aliphatic structure and a tricarboxylic acid anhydride and has a number-average molecular weight of 500 to 1000.

A composition for use as a drier in auto-oxidizable coatings or as an accelerator in unsaturated polyester resins comprises a manganese-bearing polymer having a manganese dicarboxylate repeating unit and at least one nitrogen-containing donor ligand. Such compositions offer excellent drying performances. They ensure a strongly reduced leachability of manganese compared to that of known manganese-bearing driers.

The present invention provides an ionizing radiation curable paint composition which is capable of forming a cured film that has excellent elongation (for example, 30% or more) under heating and has excellent solvent resistance and chemical resistance and which can contain an alcohol as a diluent solvent. The ionizing radiation curable paint composition contains a urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer (A1) having 6 or more (meth)acryloyl groups and having a weight average molecular weight of 3,000 to 50,000, wherein the urethane (meth)acrylate oligomer (A1) is a silicone-modified oligomer having a constituent unit (a) derived from a multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomer having a hydroxy group and 3 or more (meth)acryloyl groups, a constituent unit (b) derived from an alcohol having 2 or more hydroxy groups and having a molecular weight of 100 or lower, a constituent unit (c) derived from isophorone diisocyanate, and a constituent unit (d) derived from a carbinol-modified polysiloxane.

Two part sole structures are provided having a first foam component containing a polyolefin resin with a polyurethane resin component adhered to a surface of the first foam component. For example, in some aspects, a sole structure or a portion thereof is provided having a first sole component containing a foam composition and a second sole component adhered to a surface of the first sole component, where the second sole component includes a polyurethane resin. The second sole component is in some aspects printed or extruded onto the surface of the foam. In particular, midsoles including the foams and having an outsole component on the ground facing portion are provided for use in an article of footwear. Methods of making the sole structures are provided, as well as methods of making an article of footwear including one of the sole structures.

The present disclosure relates to methods for making polyols, esters, and surfactants. Generally, a carboxyl-containing molecule is reacted with an epoxide-containing molecule to obtain a hydroxylated ester. If multiple epoxide groups are present in the epoxide-containing molecule, the resulting molecule can also be considered a polyol. The hydroxyl groups can be further ethoxylated to obtain a surfactant/stabilizer.
