A method of forming a multilayer coating film with excellent flip-flop properties and smoothness and allowing formation of a high-design multilayer coating film. In a method of forming a multilayer coating film comprising: a low-brightness intercoating film; a first base coating film; a second base coating film formed on an object to be coated; and a clear coating film formed on the second base coating film; the first base coating film is obtained by applying a first aqueous base coating material, the second base coating film is obtained by applying a second aqueous base coating material containing a brightness pigment, the clear coating film, with specific compositions and properties, is formed on a low-brightness intercoating film by a wet-on-wet method and the multilayer coating film is heat cured to form a cured multilayer coating film.

An adhesive composition and a surface protective film using the same are provided. The adhesive composition comprises a urethane resin containing a hydroxyl group; an isocyanate-based curing agent; a (meth)acrylate copolymer of a monomer mixture including a (meth)acrylate monomer containing a hydroxyl group, a (meth)acrylate monomer containing a fluorine based substituent, an alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer having an alkyl group of 1 to 10 carbon atoms and an alkyl (meth)acrylate monomer having an alkyl group of 12 to 22 carbon atoms; and an antistatic agent.

Disclosed are hydrophobic, acrylic materials having both high refractive index and a high Abbe number. The materials may have an internal wetting agent, are well suited for use as implantable ophthalmic devices, and have a refractive index which may be edited through application of energy. When used for an intraocular lens, the high refractive index allows for a thin lens which compresses to allow a small incision size.
