20170101496 · 2017-04-13 · ·

A copolymer includes (i) a plurality of ethylenic moieties A having a structure according to the following formula:

##STR00001## wherein R2 and R3 independently represent hydrogen, a halogen or an optionally substituted linear, branched or cyclic alk(en)yl group, or an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic group, and (ii) a plurality of acetal moieties B having a structure according to the following formula:

##STR00002## wherein L represents a divalent linking group; x=0 or 1 and R1 represents an optionally substituted aromatic or heteroaromatic group including at least one hydroxyl group and optionally one or more additional substituent(s), and at least one electron withdrawing group in ortho or para position relative to the at least one hydroxyl group.

Recording media and related methods

A recording medium comprises an oleophilic substrate and, thereover, a topmost oleophobic layer comprising a cured polymeric silicone matrix that consists essentially of the addition-cure reaction product of a vinyl-functional polydialkylsiloxane and a silane cross-linking agent. The vinyl-functional polydialkylsiloxane has a molecular weight ranging from 30,000 to 75,000 or 110,000 to 130,000. If the molecular weight of the vinyl-functional polydialkylsiloxane is within the range of 30,000 to 75,000, the molar ratio of silane groups to vinyl groups is within the range of about 11:1 to about 25:1; and if the molecular weight of the vinyl-functional polydialkylsiloxane is within the range of 110,000 to 130,000, the molar ratio of silane groups to vinyl groups is from about 5:1 to about 27:1. The recording medium may be used as a lithographic printing plate.

Structure that forms a visual representation and method for making the same
12447734 · 2025-10-21 · ·

A structure that forms a visual representation may include a first outer layer, a second outer layer, and an interlayer being disposed between the first outer layer and the second outer layer. The interlayer may have a first side adjacent to the first outer layer and a second side adjacent to the second outer layer. The interlayer includes a plurality of cuts extending from the first side of the interlayer towards the second side of the interlayer. Each of the plurality of cuts may have an angle with respect to a plane formed by a surface of the first side of the interlayer. Each angle for at least a portion of the plurality of cuts is based on one or more pixel values of at least one image that forms the basis of the visual representation.
