Provided is a process for making an ophthalmic devices and ophthalmic devices resulting from the process. The process comprises: (a) providing a first reactive composition containing: (i) a polymerization initiator that is capable, upon a first activation, of forming two or more free radical groups, at least one of which is further activatable by subsequent activation; (ii) one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds; and (iii) a crosslinker; (b) subjecting the first reactive composition to a first activation step such that the first reactive composition polymerizes therein to form a crosslinked substrate network containing a covalently bound activatable free radical initiator; (c) contacting the crosslinked substrate network with a grafting composition containing a shrinking agent and one or more ethylenically unsaturated compounds; and (d) activating the covalently bound activatable free radical initiator of the crosslinked substrate network such that the grafting composition polymerizes therein with the crosslinked substrate network.

A photocurable composition can comprise a polymerizable material, a fullerene or fullerene derivative in an amount of at least 0.2 wt % and not greater than 5.0 wt %, and a photoinitiator and may be adapted for AIP or NIL processing. A photo-cured layer made from the photocurable composition can have an improved thermal stability in comparison to a photo-cured layer made from the same photocurable composition except not containing a fullerene or fullerene derivative.

The present invention pertains to: an acrylic laminate film containing an acrylic copolymer and having a three-layer structure of an inner layer, an intermediate layer, and an outer layer; a method for producing same; and a deco sheet produced therefrom. An object of the present invention is to provide a three-layer-structured acrylic laminate film produced from an acrylic copolymer. Another object of the present invention is to provide: an acrylic laminate film having significantly improved optical properties and surface smoothness by using an acrylic copolymer alone without mixing the same with additional polymers; and a method for producing the acrylic laminate film. Still another object of the present invention is to provide: an acrylic laminate film that exhibits significantly reduced whitening even when a flexural stress is applied; and a method for producing the acrylic laminate film.

A method and resins for use with three-dimensional printing systems and/or other energy-curing devices to create 3-D objects having electrical conductivity. The resins comprise an initiator, a photopolymerizable agent, and a nanocarbon, particularly, single-walled carbon nanotubes. The initiator, photopolymerizable agent, and nanocarbon are mixed and agitated without fully solubilizing the nanocarbon so as to maintain the electrically conductive property.

A microencapsulated polyaddition catalyst comprises a capsule core, containing polyaddition catalyst, and an acrylic copolymer capsule shell, the acrylic copolymer comprising copolymerized units of an intermolecular anhydride of an ethylenically unsaturated C.sub.3-C.sub.12 carboxylic acid. The polyaddition catalyst is selected from acyclic tertiary amines, alicyclic tertiary amines, N-alkylimidazoles, phosphines and organic metal salts. It is suitable for catalysing the reaction of a polyol compound with a polyisocyanate compound. The polyaddition catalyst is released by a chemical stimulus, such as on contact with polyols or water, for example.

The present invention provides a dibutylfluorenyl derivative, an application of same as a photoinitiator, and a preparation method therefor. The present invention provides a photocuring composition including the compound and a photocuring method using the composition.

The present invention relates to curable compositions which comprise (meth)acrylic monomers, ethylenically unsaturated oligomers and a specific multistage polymer additive. The additive is used as a processing aid to reduce cure shrinkage and reduce or prevent the formation of cracks during the polymerization of the composition.
