Provided are a composition for forming a transparent orthodontic device, a method of preparing a transparent orthodontic device, and a transparent orthodontic device prepared by using the method. The composition includes 100 parts by weight of a first photocurable compound represented by Formula 1, 35 parts by weight to 75 parts by weight of a second photocurable compound represented by Formula 2, 15 parts by weight to 65 parts by weight of a third photocurable compound represented by Formula 3, 5 parts by weight to 40 parts by weight of a fourth photocurable compound represented by Formula 4, and 1 part by weight to 15 parts by weight of a fifth photocurable compound represented by Formula 5.

An adhesive film, an optical member including the same, and an optical display apparatus including the same are provided. An adhesive film is formed of an adhesive composition including a (meth)acrylic copolymer, a curing agent, a mono- or higher functional monomer, a binder having a melting point of about 30° C. to about 60° C., and an initiator, and has a peel strength increase rate of 7.0 or more, as calculated according to Equation 1 herein.

The invention relates to colorant compositions, and aqueous latex paints or other water-borne coatings made from them, which have a mitigated environmental impact. Levels of solvents, additives and impurities comprising volatile non-aqueous constituents, alkylphenol ethoxylates (and derivatives thereof), crystalline silica, and/or formaldehyde are decreased relative to those typical of preceding generations of colorants and tinted aqueous latex paints and other water-borne coatings. On the other hand, paint-performance as indicated by any of Stormer viscosity stabilization, rheological profile flow/leveling and sag resistance, water sensitivity and color transfer resistance is comparable to a paint in which the aforementioned solvents, additives and impurities are still present.

It is an objective of the present invention to provide a novel polymerizable triptycene derivative and a polymer compound as constituent component thereof that has a structure in which three benzene rings arranged at the axis formed by barrelene of the triptycene skeleton can rotate evenly and that has hydrophilicity imparted to it as compared to any of the prior art triptycene derivatives and is thus highly useful in functional materials. The above objective is achieved by the polymerizable triptycene derivative and a polymer compound as constituent component thereof having substituents with an unsaturated bonding functional group at position 9 and/or position 10 of the triptycene skeleton, the polymerizable triptycene derivative having two carboxyl groups and the polymerizable triptycene derivative having one carboxyl group and one amino group.
