The invention relates to a crosslinkable fluorinated urethane compound having at least one ethylenically unsaturated functional group. Such compounds are useful as coatings additives such that, when the coating is applied to a substrate, the additive compound is allowed to first migrate to the surface and subsequently crosslink to form a durable oil-, dirt-, and water-repellent surface.

Articles and laminates include a substrate with a first polyester surface and a second polyester surface, a crosslinked polyurethane-based primer coated on at least the first polyester surface, and an optically clear heat activated adhesive adjacent to the crosslinked polyurethane-based primer. The articles and laminates are prepared by applying a polyurethane-based dispersion and a crosslinker on at least one polyester surface, drying the applied coating, heating while stretching the substrate and the coating to form a crosslinked primer layer on the stretched polyester surface, and applying an optically clear heat activated adhesive onto the crosslinked primer layer.

The present inventions concerns compositions for producing thermoset polyurethanes, comprising polyisocyanates and polyols selected from a list consisting of allicyclic, aromatic compounds and branched polyesters. The films obtained from these compositions exhibit a high transparency, high thermal stability and good chemical resistance, and a method to produce the same. The said polyurethane films can be widely used in electronics industry where high transparency, high thermal resistance and good chemical resistance are the main requirements. Particularly, these films can be used as the substrates for conductive coatings and barrier coatings. These functionally coated films are particularly useful in applications such as touch panels or photo-voltaic cells.

The embodiments described herein generally relate to methods and chemical compositions of triazine-arylhydroxy-aldehyde condensates. In one embodiment, a triazine-arylhydroxy-aldehyde condensate is reacted with at alkoxylation agent to form alkoxylated triazine-arylhydroxy-aldehyde condensates.

New shape memory polymer compositions, methods for synthesizing new shape memory polymers, and apparatus comprising an actuator and a shape memory polymer wherein the shape memory polymer comprises at least a portion of the actuator. A shape memory polymer comprising a polymer composition which physically forms a network structure wherein the polymer composition has shape-memory behavior and can be formed into a permanent primary shape, re-formed into a stable secondary shape, and controllably actuated to recover the permanent primary shape. Polymers have optimal aliphatic network structures due to minimization of dangling chains by using monomers that are symmetrical and that have matching amine and hydroxl groups providing polymers and polymer foams with clarity, tight (narrow temperature range) single transitions, and high shape recovery and recovery force that are especially useful for implanting in the human body.
