In one aspect, a cohesive product comprises a substrate and a cohesive layer provided on at least one surface of the substrate. The cohesive layer comprises a cohesive composition including a cohesive component admixed with a glitter component. The cohesive component further comprising a thickening agent in an amount sufficient to maintain the glitter component substantially uniformly distributed in the cohesive composition. In a further aspect, a method of manufacturing a cohesive produce is provided.

Disclosed herein is a method of forming a photocurable polymer system. The method includes providing a polymer, providing a diaryl iodonium salt, blending said polymer and diaryl iodonium salt, applying the blend to a substrate; and crosslinking the blend. The polymer can be a silicone-based polymer, such as PDMS-ECHE. The polymer can also be ETBN. The blend can be crosslinked by exposing the blend to ultraviolet light, and the crosslinking can be cationic crosslinking. In one example, the wavelength of the ultraviolet light is 254 nm. The blend can be exposed to ultraviolet light for between about 10 seconds and 90 seconds. In one example, the blend is two percent by weight of the diaryl iodonium salt to the polymer.

Provided is a rubber for a textile roller and a preparation method therefor. The main material of the rubber for a textile roller is a nitrile butadiene rubber, added with conductive powder and conductive bands to form a net-node structure in the nitrile butadiene rubber by means of a mixing process, so that the rubber for a textile roller has a high electric conductivity, can timely export static electricity, and has good mechanical performance suitable for a textile roller, applicable in components of a spinning frame, a roving frame, a drawing frame and other textile machines.

An elastomeric article is formed from a blend of nitrile rubber and polychloroprene rubber. The elastomeric article can be a glove, such as a medical exam glove. The elastomeric article is softer than a conventional nitrile elastomeric article. The elastomeric article is formed from a blended rubber latex emulsion of nitrile and polychloroprene. The blended rubber latex emulsion may be free of sulfur and vulcanization accelerators.

A binder composition for a secondary battery electrode contains a polymer that includes a nitrile group-containing monomer unit, an aromatic vinyl monomer unit, and a linear alkylene structural unit but does not include a hydrophilic group-containing monomer unit.

A circuit board water-proofing coating composition is provided comprising: at least one passivating agent, preferably containing a molecule comprising a thio-functional group, desirably a thiol group, an azolic moiety, or an azole, and combinations thereof; at least one binder component comprising an organic or inorganic film-forming polymer, and/or one or more polymer pre-cursors polymerizable on a substrate surface; and optionally one or more additive(s); also provided are methods of making and using the coating composition and coated circuit boards.
