Embodiments of the present disclosure provide for methods of detecting, sensors (e.g., chromogenic sensor), kits, compositions, and the like that related to or use tunable macroporous polymer. In an aspect, tunable macroporous materials as described herein can be used to determine the presence of a certain type(s) and quantity of liquid in a liquid mixture.

Disclosed is a dual UV and reaction curable, two component adhesive comprising both acrylic chemistry and polyurethane chemistry. The UV curable acrylate component provides a fast cure reaction to generate a tack-free surface. The mixed two component polyurethane cures to a reaction product that provides flexibility and chemical resistance. The adhesive is useful as fold protection for spiral filtration modules. When cured on a membrane the adhesive will maintain integrity and adhesion to membrane after treatments of creasing and soaking at high temperature, pressure, and wide pH ranges.

An object of the present invention is to provide a coating agent for a film that can exhibit sufficient adhesion to a film even when the active energy ray-curable ink is used. The present invention provides a coating agent for a film including a compound (a) having two or more (meth)acryloyl groups and an isocyanate group.

A composition for use as a drier in auto-oxidizable coatings or as an accelerator in unsaturated polyester resins comprises a manganese-bearing polymer having a manganese dicarboxylate repeating unit and at least one nitrogen-containing donor ligand. Such compositions offer excellent drying performances. They ensure a strongly reduced leachability of manganese compared to that of known manganese-bearing driers.
