The present invention is directed to curable compositions comprising: (a) a polyene; (b) a polythiol, present in an amount greater than 10 percent by weight based on the total weight of components (a) and (b) in the curable composition; and (c) a catalytic component consisting essentially of: (i) a metal compound; and (ii) a compound different from (i) that catalyzes an addition reaction between an ethylenically unsaturated compound and a thiol. The catalytic composition is essentially free of vanadium compounds. In the curable composition, either (1) both components (i) and (ii) of the catalytic composition (c) are added as a single package to (a) and/or (b); or (2) component (i) and/or (ii) of the catalytic composition (c) is added in separate packages to (a) and/or (b) of the curable composition. The present invention is further drawn to coated articles and methods of extending pot life of a curable composition.

A curable resin composition may include a component having two or more active methylene groups and/or active methine groups, a component having at least two α,β-unsaturated carbonyl groups, and a triphenylphosphine catalyst that promotes a Michael reaction between the other two components. The composition can be used to coat metal substrates and can exhibit particularly good performance characteristics when applied to unprimed, bare metal surfaces.

A composite material according to the present invention includes a solid portion including inorganic particles and a resin. The composite material has a porous structure including a plurality of voids surrounded by the solid portion. The composite material compressed by 10% has a reaction force of 0.1 kPa to 1000 kPa, and the composite material has a heat conductivity of 0.5 W/(m.Math.K) or more. The heat conductivity is a value measured for one test specimen in a symmetric configuration according to an American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) standard (ASTM) D5470-01.
