Further disclosed is a coating comprising: a film-forming resin; and a hydroxy functional alkyl polyurea crosslinker having the formula presented in claim 4, wherein R.sub.1 is a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.36 alkyl group, an aromatic group, an isocyanurate moiety, biuret moiety, allophonate moiety, glycoluril moiety, benzoguanamine moiety, polyetheramine moiety, and/or polymeric moiety different from a polyetheramine having an Mn of 500 or greater, wherein each R.sub.1 is independently a hydrogen, an alkyl having at least 1 carbon, or a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons and at least one R1 is a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons; and n is 2-6, and when R.sub.2 is a substituted or unsubstituted C.sub.1 to C.sub.36 alkyl group the film-forming resin comprises COOH functionality that reacts with the polyurea to form an ester linkage. Other hydroxy functional alkyl polyurea compounds, polymers made with the same, and compositions comprising the same are also disclosed as are substrates coated at least in part with or formed with any of the compositions described herein.

Compositions comprising hydroxy functional alkyl polyureas are disclosed.

Hydroxyaldimines of formula (I), their reaction products, in particular products of their reaction with polyisocyanates, and compositions including isocyanate groups and containing such reaction products. The hydroxyaldimine permits compositions which have good storage stability, a long open time, low odour, rapid, bubble-free curing and good mechanical properties, and which are not susceptible to plasticizer migration and have a particularly low content of monomeric diisocyanates. In particular, it permits reactive hot-melt adhesives with a particularly good workability.

A hydroxy functional alkyl polyurea is disclosed having the formula:

##STR00001##

wherein R comprises the residue of an isocyanurate, biuret, allophonate, glycoluril, benzoguanamine, and/or polyetheramine; or R comprises the reaction product of isocyanate and alkanol amine, but the isocyanate is not HDI when the alkanol amine is diethanol amine or monomethanol amine and the isocyanate is not IPDI when the alkanol amine is monomethanol amine; wherein each R1 is independently a hydrogen, alkyl having at least 1 carbon, or a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons and at least one R1 is a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons; and n is 2-6.

Further disclosed is a coating comprising: a. A film forming resin; and b. A hydroxy functional alkyl polyurea crosslinker having the formula:

##STR00002## wherein R2 is a substituted or unsubstituted C1 to C36 alkyl group, an aromatic group, the residue of an isocyanurate, biuret, allophanate, glycoluril, benzoguanamine and/or polyetheramine wherein each R1 is independently a hydrogen, and alkyl having at least 1 carbon, or a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons and at least one R1 is a hydroxy functional alkyl having 2 or more carbons; and n is 2-6.

Substrates coated at least in part with such a coating are also disclosed.

Provided are gel particles each having a three-dimensional crosslinked structure including at least one bond selected from a urethane bond and a urea bond, the gel particles each including: a polymerizable group; and a functional group that generates radicals by irradiation with active energy rays, a photosensitive composition containing the gel particles, an ink composition, a method of producing water dispersion of gel particles, and an image forming method.

A method for preparing an amphoteric shape-memory polyurethane and an amphoteric shape-memory polyurethane prepared by the method, the method including:1) polymerizing monomer A and monomer B to synthesize a polyurethane; and 2) contacting monomer D and the polyurethane to conduct a ring-opening reaction on a nitrogen group of the polyurethane, to yield an amphoteric shape-memory polyurethane. The monomer A is a N-alkyl dialkanolamine having a formula I. The monomer B is a polyisocyanate, and the monomer D is an alkyl sulfonate.
