There are provided: a composition for forming a water repellent film that can form a water repellent film not only excellent in water repellency but also excellent in abrasion resistance, particularly in abrasion resistance evaluated under close-to-actual-use conditions where a light resistance test is combined; a water repellent film formed by using the composition for forming a water repellent film; a substrate with a water repellent film including the water repellent film provided on at least part of a substrate; and an article including the substrate with a water repellent film. The composition for forming a water repellent film contains, at a predetermined quantitative ratio of a hydrolyzable silane compound (1) having a perfluoroalkyl group and having no ether bond; and a compound (21) that has a poly(oxyfluoroalkylene) group and a plurality of hydrolyzable silyl groups with a specific structure and that has a number average molecular weight of 3000 or more.

Dual-sided adhesive articles include a first crosslinked pressure sensitive adhesive layer with a first major surface and a second major surface, a second siloxane-based pressure sensitive adhesive layer with a first major surface and a second major surface, such that the first major surface of the second siloxane-based pressure sensitive adhesive layer is in contact with the second major surface of the first crosslinked pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The articles also include a release liner having a microstructured surface with an array of microstructures, where the microstructured surface is in contact with the second major surface of the second siloxane-based pressure sensitive adhesive layer. The microstructures of the microstructured surface of the second siloxane-based pressure sensitive adhesive layer are unstable when not in contact with the microstructured release liner, and disappear over time when in contact with a substrate.

Copolymers, as well as compounds, compositions, articles of manufacture, and methods of making thereof, are disclosed. The copolymers may generally exhibit flexibility properties and may generally have a high refractive index. The copolymers may generally be made by providing a dihydrodisiloxane and an aliphatic vinyl alcohol and combining the dihydrodisiloxane and the aliphatic vinyl alcohol under conditions that allow for hydrogenation of the aliphatic vinyl alcohol and result in coupling of the aliphatic vinyl alcohol to the dihydrodisiloxane to produce a hydroxyl substituted siloxane.
