A continuous inverse emulsion polymerization process may involve combining an aqueous monomer composition with an oil composition in a premix vessel and allowing the aqueous monomer composition to interact with the oil composition in the premix vessel for a period of time effective to form a stable pre-emulsion. The stable pre-emulsion may then be homogenized to form a homogenized emulsion that is then polymerized to form a water-in-oil inverse emulsion polymer. By forming a stable pre-emulsion that is then homogenized, the resulting water-in-oil inverse emulsion polymer may have uniform and consistent polymer size distribution.

An ink composition includes an acrylic resin including a polymerization product of a first monomer having a hydroxyl group, a second monomer having an epoxy group, a third monomer having an acrylate group, and a fourth monomer having a substituted or unsubstituted phenyl group, a first curing agent having an isocyanate group, and a second curing agent having an amine group. Durability and abrasion resistance of a window may be improved.

Polar silane linkers are provided that attach to resins to form silane-functionalized resins. The functionalized resins can be bound to hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica particles to improve the dispersibility of the silica particles in rubber mixtures. Further disclosed are synthetic routes to provide the silane-functionalized resins, as well as various uses and end products that benefit from the unexpected properties of the silane-functionalized resins. Silane-functionalized resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the silane-functionalized resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, and wet braking performance.
