The instant invention provides a curable formulation suitable for laminating adhesive applications, and laminating adhesives made therefrom. The curable formulation suitable for laminating adhesive applications according to the present invention comprises a) a blend comprising i) an epoxy terminated polyester and at least one of ii) a maleate (poly) ester or iii) a diacrylate terminated oligomer or polymer and b) an aliphatic amine curing agent.

Provided herein are compositions, devices and systems comprising thermoresponsive, biodegradable elastomeric materials, and methods of use and manufacture thereof.

Provided herein are compositions, devices and systems comprising thermoresponsive, biodegradable elastomeric materials, and methods of use and manufacture thereof.

Disclosed are compositions comprising polyesters containing a chain of residue of: diols and diesters along the chain, wherein at least a portion of the diesters are 1, 1-diester-1-alkenes, and the chains have alkene groups incorporated into the chains; the composition comprising one or more of the following: i ether groups derived from alcohols, diols, polyols, or a combination thereof obtained via Michael addition to the alkene groups and a residue of the alkene groups remaining after Michael addition; ii the formed polyesters contain one percent or less of residual 1, 1-diester-1-alkene which are unreacted; iii one or more free radical inhibitors; and iv a stabilizer comprising one or more of: oxo acids phosphorous or esters thereof, aluminum sulfate, stannous pyrophosphate, stannous sulfate, aluminum dihydrogenphosphate or decomposition products thereof. The stabilizer is present in an amount sufficient to enhance stability of the polyester without lowering reactivity of the polyester.

The invention relates to a multifunctional acrylic product having a number-average functionality f of acrylate groups greater than 2.1, which is the product of reaction by esterification and by etherification, via Michael addition reaction, between a) a polyol or a mixture of polyols R(OH).sub.m having a functionality m of at least 3 for a polyol alone or having an average functionality greater than 2.1 for a mixture of polyols, and b) the acrylic acid (R.sub.1OH) in the presence of c) at least one cyclic polycarboxylic anhydride or of its polyacid form having a carboxy functionality z of at least 2 and up to 4, the ratio r.sub.1 of number of carboxy groups of said anhydride or polyacid c) with respect to those of the acrylic acid b) r.sub.1=CO.sub.2Hc/CO.sub.2Hb being from 0.01 to 0.4 with overall r=CO.sub.2H/OH<1, said acrylic product comprising in its composition both: units A) of oligoether-ester acrylate that are derived from a) and b) and units B) of oligoester acrylate that are derived from c),
said acrylic product being a mixture of acrylic products comprising at least one acrylic product p1 chemically linking, in its molecular structure, the two types of units A) and B) as defined above.

The invention also relates to a process for preparing said product, to crosslinkable compositions comprising same and to the use thereof in coatings, sealing, moulding or composite compositions, chemical sealing compositions, 3D printing compositions or compositions for 3D objects produced layer-by-layer. One particular advantage of these compositions is their low shrinkage despite their high functionality.

Provided are polymers having a repeating unit including at least one astaxanthin moiety. Also provided are processes for preparing the polymers and various uses thereof.
