A method of forming a three-dimensional object is carried out by: (a) providing a carrier and an optically transparent member having a build surface, the carrier and the build surface defining a build region therebetween; (b) filling the build region with a polymerizable liquid, the polymerizable liquid including a mixture of (i) a light polymerizable liquid first component, and (ii) a second solidifiable component that is different from the first component; (c) irradiating the build region with light through the optically transparent member to form a solid polymer scaffold from the first component and also advancing the carrier away from the build surface to form a three-dimensional intermediate having the same shape as, or a shape to be imparted to, the three-dimensional object, and containing the second solidifiable component carried in the scaffold in unsolidified and/or uncured form; and (d) concurrently with or subsequent to the irradiating step, solidifying and/or curing the second solidifiable component in the three-dimensional intermediate to form the three-dimensional object.

Coating compositions for coating fluid handling components, and related methods, may include in some aspects a coating composition having a trifunctional silane, a silanol, and a filler. The coating composition may be applied to a surface of a fluid handling component that is configured to be exposed to a fluid. The coating composition may be applied to at least partially cover or coat the surface. The coating composition may be configured to chemically bond with a cured primer composition that includes an epoxy.

A silicone rubber sponge composition, including: (A) 100 parts by mass of an addition-crosslinkable silicone rubber composition containing a reinforcing silica and being liquid at 25° C.; (B) 1.0 to 20 parts by mass of expanded resin fine particles having a specific gravity of 0.01 to 0.3, having an average particle diameter of 10 to 200 μm, and having an organic resin shell; and (C) 0.1 to 10 parts by mass of spherical particles having average particle diameter being 0.001 to 0.5 times larger than average particle diameter of the component (B) expanded resin fine particles, and having an average circularity of 0.8 to 1. This improves flowability of silicone rubber sponge composition containing the expanded resin fine particles, reduces contractive deformation due to pressure of the expanded resin fine particles during casting or injection-molding. Thus, provided are a silicone rubber sponge composition that can reduce density of a sponge rubber.
