Embodiments in accordance with the present invention encompass a two component composition containing in one component a latent organo-ruthenium carbide catalyst, and in another component a photoactive acid generator or a thermally active acid generator, and either of the components containing a mixture of photoactive compound along with one or more monomers which undergo ring open metathesis polymerization (ROMP) when said components are mixed together and exposed to a suitable radiation (or heat) to form a three-dimensional (3D) object. The three-dimensional objects so formed exhibits improved mechanical properties, particularly, high heat distortion temperature, impact strength, elongation to break, among others. Accordingly, compositions of this invention are useful as 3D inkjet materials for forming high impact strength objects of various sizes with microscale features lower than 100 microns, among various other uses.

Provided is a high oil contact angle coating comprising fluoropolymer, compositions and processes for forming the coating, and articles comprising the coating. The fluoropolymer is a crosslinkable tetrapolymer fluoropolymer produced from the copolymerization of monomers tetrafluoroethylene, fluoro(alkyl vinyl ether) or fluoro(alkyl ethylene), alkyl vinyl ether and alkenyl silane. The fluoropolymer coating has high oil contact angle and utility as coating when the fluoropolymer is in the uncrosslinked or crosslinked state.

The present invention relates to hot melt adhesive compositions comprising ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer(s) and isothiazolinone fungicides according to formula (I). Such hot melt adhesives show improved fungus resistance and are thus particularly suited for applications where such properties are desirable, such as ventilation and air-conditioning systems and air filters. The invention further relates to the use of said hot melt adhesives in such ventilation and air-conditioning systems and air filters as well as for bonding, stabilizing and sealing of pleats, edge and frame bonding, or seam sealing of bag filters. Further encompassed are air filters comprising the hot melt adhesives and methods of their manufacture using the hot melt adhesives of the invention.

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention encompass compositions comprising an organopalladium compound, a photoacid generator, a photosensitizer, one or more epoxy group containing olefinic monomers. The compositions of this invention may additionally contain one or more olefinic monomers and a stabilizer, such as for example a hindered amine. The compositions undergo simultaneous vinyl addition polymerization and cationic polymerization when exposed to a suitable actinic radiation to form a substantially transparent film. The compositions of this invention are stable at room temperature for several days to several months and undergo mass polymerization only when subjected to suitable actinic radiation. The monomers employed therein have a range of optical and mechanical properties, and thus these compositions can be tailored to form films having various opto-electronic properties. More specifically, the compositions of this invention undergo much faster mass polymerization and exhibit superior thermo-mechanical properties when compared with the compositions containing only the olefinic monomers. Accordingly, compositions of this invention are useful in various applications, including as coatings, encapsulants, fillers, leveling agents, sealants, adhesives, among others.
