A one-part primer composition is provided. The one-part primer composition includes a first epoxy resin that is a liquid under ambient conditions a particulate corrosion inhibitor present in an amount of from 5 wt % to 30 wt % relative to the overall weight of the composition excluding carrier solvents and water, a curative comprising a primary aromatic amine, a silane coupling agent, a carrier solvent; and water homogeneously mixed with the carrier solvent and present in an amount sufficient to hydrolyze the silane coupling agent while preserving solubility of the first epoxy resin and curative in the carrier solvent/water mixture. The corrosion inhibitor is pre-dispersed in a liquid epoxy to break the agglomeration of the inhibitors, mitigate settling of the pigment and improve primer performance.

Provided is an antistatic polyimide-based film. More particularly, as an antistatic polyimide-based film for a window cover for protecting a surface of a display device, a window cover film having a protective film formed on the polyimide-based film provides an improvement to a problem of not being used as a film for a display window cover because a portion of the protective film remains on a base layer or a hard coating layer without being peeled off due to static electricity in the protective film or the base layer, or a hard coating layer, or the hard coating layer is peeled off with some or all of the protective film when the protective film is peeled off.

The present invention provides a composition for forming a hard coat and a laminate using the same. The composition for forming a hard coat includes at least metal oxide fine particles; a hydrolysate of an organosilicon compound; an adhesion promoting component having an alkoxysilyl group; a curing catalyst; and a solvent, wherein by introducing, as the organosilicon compound, an organosilicon compound having a hydrocarbon group having (6 to 18) carbon atoms substituted with a glycidoxy group, and an organosilicon compound having a hydrocarbon group having (1 to 5) carbon atoms substituted with a glycidoxy group, even when applied to a flexible resin substrate, the composition for forming a hard coat has excellent adhesion and scratch resistance, and bending resistance (crack resistance) and surface hardness as well.

A sliding member which has low sliding resistance, can prevent the leakage of a liquid, has low dust emission properties and low leachability, and can be manufactured in a simple manner; and a method for manufacturing the sliding member. The sliding member includes an elastic molded body which is coated with a coating layer composition containing an amino-modified silicone compound having a silanol group and/or an alkoxysilyl group and also having an amino-containing group in a side chain. The method for manufacturing the sliding member includes the steps of: preparing the coating layer composition containing the amino-modified silicone compound having the silanol group and/or the alkoxysilyl group and also having the amino-containing group in a side chain; applying the coating layer composition to the elastic molded body; and coating the elastic molded body with the coating layer composition.

An example of an array includes a support, a cross-linked epoxy polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (POSS) resin film on a surface of the support, and a patterned hydrophobic polymer layer on the cross-linked epoxy POSS resin film. The patterned hydrophobic polymer layer defines exposed discrete areas of the cross-linked epoxy POSS resin film, and a polymer coating is attached to the exposed discrete areas. Another example of an array includes a support, a modified epoxy POSS resin film on a surface of the support, and a patterned hydrophobic polymer layer on the modified epoxy POSS resin film. The modified epoxy POSS resin film includes a polymer growth initiation site, and the patterned hydrophobic polymer layer defines exposed discrete areas of the modified epoxy POSS resin film. A polymer brush is attached to the polymer growth initiation site in the exposed discrete areas.
