The disclosure relates to a thermoset omniphobic composition, which includes a thermoset polymer with first, second, and third backbone segments, urethane groups linking the first and third backbone segments, and urea groups linking the first and second backbone segments. The first, second, and third backbone segments generally correspond to urethane or urea reaction products of polyisocyanate(s), amine-functional hydrophobic polymer(s), and polyol(s), respectively. The thermoset omniphobic composition has favorable omniphobic properties, for example as characterized by water and/or oil contact and/or sliding angles. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be used as a coating on any of a variety of substrates to provide omniphobic properties to a surface of the substrate. Such omniphobic coatings can be scratch resistant, ink/paint resistant, dirt-repellent, and optically clear. The thermoset omniphobic composition can be applied by different coating methods including cast, spin, roll, spray and dip coating methods.

Embodiments relate to a polymerizable composition for a plastic lens. The polymerizable composition for a plastic lens according to the embodiment further comprises a diketone compound for the purpose of controlling the strong activity of a halogenated tin-based catalyst. Further, the polymerizable composition is preliminarily polymerized at a low temperature of 5 to 20° C. for a certain period of time, specifically 1 to 20 hours. Since it is possible to stabilize the reaction rate of the composition and to properly control the viscosity of the composition, a more stable pot life is attained, thereby improving the workability. In addition, the generation of bubbles is prevented, thereby improving the transparency of the resin. Hence, the polymerizable composition can be advantageously used for fabricating various plastic lenses such as eyeglass lenses, camera lenses, and the like.
