A stable two-component waterborne coating composition comprising an epoxy component A comprising a waterborne epoxy resin, a polymeric dispersant, and pigments and/or extenders; and a component B comprising a curing agent; providing coatings made therefrom with improved anti-corrosion properties; and a method of preparing the coating composition.

A textured release sheet includes a substrate, which has been electron beam treated, including a top side and a bottom side. A matte surface is formed on the bottom side thereof, wherein the matte surface of the surfacing material is a coating of an radiation curable material applied to the bottom side of the substrate. The coating is an UV curable acrylate mixture applied to the substrate, wherein the UV curable acrylate mixture is irradiated with UV-radiation via an excimer laser emitter to produce a UV-irradiated layer wherein the UV curable acrylate mixture is only crosslinked on the surface thereof, which produces a matting surface through the effects of a micro-convolution.

Methods and materials used for production of constructs having a porous open or semi-open celled structure. Constructs may include a porous matrix as a base and a biocompatible conformal coating thereon.

The invention relates to a method for producing a multicomponent fiber, wherein the fiber is formed from a plurality of filaments, where the filaments each have a core and a thermoplastic sheath, and where the sheath is generated during the production of the filaments by in situ polymerization of monomers or oligomers of the thermoplastic on the surface of the core, and also to multicomponent fibers produced accordingly and to organosheets produced therefrom.

A double coating, curing method, cured coating, and kit are provided. A first layer of the double coating can be a first cure coating composition, which has a first hydroxy-functional resin, a first crosslinking agent, and a first catalyst. A second layer of a second cure coating composition can have a low hydrophilicity acrylic resin as a second hydroxy-functional resin, a second crosslinking agent, and a second catalyst. The first catalyst catalyzes crosslinking between the second hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent, and not between the first hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent. The second catalyst catalyzes crosslinking between the first hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent, and not between the second hydroxy-functional resin and crosslinking agent. The first and/or second hydroxy functional resins can facilitate catalyst migration from one layer to the other. The separate compositions can be shelf-stable and/or the curing can occur at low temperature.

Zwitterionic double network hydrogels, methods for making zwitterionic double network hydrogels, methods for using zwitterionic double network hydrogels, and articles made from and coated with zwitterionic double network hydrogels.

A biocompatible copolymer includes a phosphorylcholine-containing structural unit represented by formula (I), a siloxy-containing structural unit represented by formula (II), and a photoreactive structural unit represented by formula (III), wherein each of the substituents is given the definition as set forth in the Specification and Claims. A curable composition, a biocompatible coating layer, and a biocompatible device containing the biocompatible copolymer are also disclosed.

An absorbent article containing a polyolefin film is provided. The polyolefin film is formed by a thermoplastic composition containing a continuous phase that includes a polyolefin matrix polymer and nanoinclusion additive is provided. The nanoinclusion additive is dispersed within the continuous phase as discrete nano-scale phase domains. When drawn, the nano-scale phase domains are able to interact with the matrix in a unique manner to create a network of nanopores.

Described herein are two-component systems, a composite part comprising a coating made of the two-component system, a process for producing a composite part and a use of special siloxane-containing compounds. The addition of a polysiloxane-containing component, either chemically incorporated into the (meth)acrylate component or physically mixed into this component, results in an improved adhesion to a thermoplastic carrier.

The present invention provides a laminated film for molded decoration including a transparent polymer substrate, a hard coat layer having a thickness of 2 to 10 μm, and a protective layer having a thickness of 50 to 200 nm laminated in that order, in which the hard coat layer is a cured layer of a hard coating composition, the protective layer is a cured layer of a coating composition for forming a protective layer, the laminated film for molded decoration has an extension rate within a range of 15 to 80%, and after a scratch test involving 200 reciprocations under a load of 2 N per 4 cm.sup.2 of a surface of the laminated film for molded decoration, the laminated film for molded decoration has no scratches and no deterioration in visibility due to change in appearance.
