A problem of The present invention is to provide a curable composition capable of forming a resist which can be easily washed after curing and which has high dry etching resistance and excellent precision of fine pattern transfer, also provide a resist film and a laminate each containing the curable composition, and further provide a pattern forming method using the resist film. The problem of the present invention can be solved by providing a curable composition containing a multifunctional polymerizable monomer (A) which has two or more groups having a polymerizable group and has at least one group Q having a polymerizable group represented by formula (1) below, the amount of silicon atoms in an nonvolatile content being 10 wt % or more.

The invention provides articles of manufacture having a surface of a boronic acid-containing siloxane polymer bonded to a cellulose-containing material. The invention further provides methods of making such articles of manufacture. The surface of the cellulose-containing material covered by the bonded boronic acid-containing siloxane polymer is hydrophobic and keeps water from soaking into the article of manufacture. In some embodiments, the invention provides analytic devices in which a hydrophobic coating is applied to a material to defining one or more channels. The one or more channels may contain reagents that can react with analytes if the analytes are present in fluids introduced into the one or more channels.

The present invention also relates to a novel curable organopolysiloxane composition for transducer use comprising a curable organopolysiloxane composition and a compound having a highly dielectric functional group.

The present disclosure provides an aqueous binder composition for forming a sacrificial corrosion-protective coating, said composition being free of chromates and also preferably free of borates and molybdates. Said binder composition advantageously has a pH of less than 6 and comprises a binder, particles of at least one metal oxide and at least one metallic phosphate, said binder comprising a hydrolyzed organosilane oligomer. In addition, the proportion by weight of said particles of at least one metal oxide relative to the total dry weight of said binder composition is greater than or equal to 75%.

A family of silicone rubbers (e.g., polydimethylsiloxane) carrying one or more cyanoacrylate groups and their methods of production are provided. These silicone rubbers endowed with cyanoacrylate groups are useful in a variety of wound care applications, including wound closures, adhesives, sealants and skin protectors. The silicone rubber moiety provides oxygen and moisture permeability (i.e., breathability), biocompatibility, optical transparency, and good mechanical properties, while the cyanoacrylate group imparts instantaneous adhesion/attachment to living tissues such as skin on par with that of contemporary cyanoacrylate-based wound care products.
