Disclosed are hydrophobic, acrylic materials having both high refractive index and a high Abbe number. The materials may have an internal wetting agent, are well suited for use as implantable ophthalmic devices, and have a refractive index which may be edited through application of energy. When used for an intraocular lens, the high refractive index allows for a thin lens which compresses to allow a small incision size.

The present invention is directed to coated articles demonstrating a transmission of electromagnetic radiation having a frequency of 22 to 81 GHz in the range of 70% to 100%. The articles comprise substrates coated with curable film-forming compositions comprising a first film-forming polymer prepared from at least one hydrophobic monomer, a second film-forming polymer prepared from at least one hydrophobic monomer, and a curing agent. Upon application of the curable film-forming composition to the substrate to form a coating layer, the first film-forming polymer is distributed throughout the coating layer, and the concentration of the second film-forming polymer is greater at the surface of the coating layer than the concentration of the second film-forming polymer within the bulk of the coating layer. The present invention is also drawn to methods of mitigating contaminant build-up on a substrate using the curable film-forming compositions described above.

A composition is obtained by mixing at least one oligomer A1, which is obtained by copolymerizing at least two monomers functionalized by diol functions with at least one second monomer, with at least one compound A2 having at least two boron ester functions. The compositions exhibit very varied rheological properties depending on the proportion of the compounds A1 and A2 used. A composition is also obtained by mixing at least one lubricating oil with such a composition of associative and exchangeable polymers, and the use of this composition to lubricate a mechanical part.

Provided is a binder composition for lithium ion secondary battery electrode-use that reduces internal resistance of a lithium ion secondary battery while also providing the lithium ion secondary battery with excellent life characteristics. The binder composition contains a copolymer X and a solvent. The copolymer X is obtained from a monomer composition X that contains at least 20.0 mass % and no greater than 75.0 mass % of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid compound (A) composed of either or both of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid salt, and at least 20.0 mass % and no greater than 75.0 mass % of a copolymerizable compound (B) that has an ethylenically unsaturated bond and a solubility of at least 7 g in 100 g of water at 20° C. The copolymer X has a degree of swelling in electrolysis solution of less than 120 mass %.

A nail sticker, a composition for the nail sticker and a method for preparing the composition are disclosed. Raw materials of the composition include a sizing material, which is made of the following raw materials in parts by weight: 45-85 parts of a UV thermosetting resin, 2-9 parts of a photoinitiator, 1.5-2 parts of a curing agent, 0.1-1 part of a thermal promoter, and 0.1-1 part of a leveling agent. The synchronization of the release of essential oil molecules with light/thermal curing promotes the essential oil molecules to be diffused to the interior of the sizing material more uniformly in a wider range, and during the curing and film forming of the nail sticker, an aroma spreads as tantalizing as that of baked food.
