Provided are fast curing two-part condensation curable silicone compositions which cure by using titanium and/or zirconium based catalysts to generate cured gel materials which are suitable for encapsulating and/or potting electrical and/or electronic articles.

A polysiloxane-substituted quinacridone pigment is produced by a quinacridone pigment with an epoxy-terminated polysiloxane under conditions effective to cause the epoxy group on the polysiloxane to react with, and bond the polysiloxane to, the quinacridone pigment. The quinacridone pigment thus produced has the polysiloxane grouping bonded to one of the quinacridone nitrogen atoms via a hydrocarbon linking group, which bears a hydroxyl group on a carbon atom α or β to the quinacridone nitrogen atom. These quinacridone pigments are useful in electrophoretic displays.

Functionalized particles comprising a shell and a core and a payload that is embedded or entrapped, wherein the shell matrix is obtained by interfacial polymerisation of vinyltriethoxy silane and at least one other ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerizable with vinyltriethoxy silane, said functionalized particles being capable to chemically bind to a substrate, are suitable as controlled release systems for textile applications to impart durable softness and excellent water retention even after multiple laundries.

Compositions for treating a substrate to provide increased lubricity to portions of the substrate surface that come into contact with the surface of a mating component are provided. The treated substrates provide improved lubricity, while maintaining adhesion between the surface of the substrate and an overlying polymer coating and imparting corrosion resistance to the substrate surface. The compositions include a silanol coupling agent in combination with lubricating particles, and an acid, which are dissolved or dispersed in a mixture of organic solvent and water.

An ultraviolet (UV) curable organopolysiloxane composition with excellent workability when applied to a substrate is provided, in which a product obtained by curing the composition has a low dielectric constant. The UV curable organopolysiloxane composition comprises (A) one or more organosiloxane and/or organopolysiloxane having an average of two or more UV reactive functional groups in one molecule, and (B) one or more organosilane, organosiloxane, and/or organopolysiloxane having one UV reactive functional group in one molecule. An organic solvent is not included in the composition. In addition to components (A) and (B), the composition can comprise one or a plurality of additives selected from a group consisting of: (D1) nonionic surfactants not containing a silicon atom and are not acrylic; (D2) nonionic surfactants containing a silicon atom and having an HLB value of 4 or less; and (D3) silicone oils with a viscosity of 90 mPa-s or less at 25° C.

A silicon-containing composition includes: a first polysiloxane; a second polysiloxane different from the first polysiloxane; and a solvent. The first polysiloxane includes a group which includes at least one selected from the group consisting of an ester bond, a carbonate structure, and a cyano group. The second polysiloxane includes a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbon group having 1 to 20 carbon atoms.

A solid electrolyte of the present disclosure includes: a porous dielectric having a plurality of pores interconnected; and an electrolyte including a metal salt and at least one selected from the group consisting of an ionic compound and a bipolar compound and at least partially filling an interior of the plurality of pores. The porous dielectric includes a polyether structure. The plurality of pores have an average pore diameter of 20 nm or more and 100 nm or less.

A composition of the present disclosure includes an aqueous dispersion of epoxy resin particles. The epoxy resin particles include at least two 1,2-epoxide groups. The composition further includes one or more anti-adhesive agents, one or more anti-microbial agents, or a combination of one or more anti-adhesive agents and one or more anti-microbial agents.

A structure includes an aluminum base and an adhesive layer that is made of an adhesive resin adhering to a surface of the aluminum base. The adhesive layer includes a hard layer that abuts against an adhesive interface where the hard layer is adhered to the aluminum base, and a body layer that abuts against the hard layer. The hard layer is harder than the body layer.
