Inhibition by oxygen of the peroxide-initiated cure of a composition based on (meth)acrylates or other compounds containing free radical-polymerizable functional groups is mitigated by inclusion of one or more polythiols in the composition. Such compositions may be formulated as multi-part systems, which are useful for the preparation of coatings and sealants.

The present invention is directed to curable film-forming compositions comprising: (a) a polymeric acrylic binder having reactive functional groups, wherein the polymeric acrylic binder is prepared from an ethylenically unsaturated, epoxy functional monomer that is reacted with benzoic acid; and (b) a curing agent containing functional groups that are reactive with reactive functional groups on the polymeric acrylic binder. Also provided is a multilayer coated substrate comprising: a substrate; a colored basecoat applied to at least a portion of a surface of the substrate; and a clearcoat applied to at least a portion of the basecoat, wherein the clearcoat is deposited from the curable film-forming composition described above.

Provided are a random copolymer for forming a neutral layer promoting directed self-assembly pattern formation, a laminate for forming a pattern including the same, and a method for forming a high-quality pattern using the same.

Provided is a conductive polymer dispersion, including: a conductive composite containing a ?-conjugated conductive polymer and a polyanion; a vinyl versatate polymer; and a dispersion medium.

The present invention relates to a composition for a gel polymer electrolyte and a gel polymer electrolyte prepared using the same, and specifically provides a composition for a gel polymer electrolyte including a lithium salt, an organic solvent, and a polymer A having an epoxy group represented by Formula 1, and a polymer B having an amine group and a cyanide group represented by Formula 2, wherein the polymers A and B are included in an amount of 1 to 20 wt % based on the total weight of the composition for a gel polymer electrolyte, and wherein a gel polymer electrolyte for a secondary battery can be prepared that includes a polymer network formed by combining the polymer A having an epoxy group represented by Formula 1 and the polymer B having an amine group and a cyanide group represented by Formula 2 in a three-dimensional structure.

A protective film-forming film is provided for forming a protective film which protects a metal film provided on a back surface of a semiconductor chip and is not likely to peel off from the metal film even after undergoing a history of temperature changes. This protective film-forming film is formed of a protective film-forming composition to which a coupling agent having a thiol group or a protected thiol group is added.
