The invention concerns coating composition comprising hydrophobic polymer for use as a photoreactive basecoat for a medical device or implant comprising a polymer made from monomers comprising: (a) 1 to 12 mol % of at least one photoactive monomer that is a hydrogen atom abstracter and (b) 99 to 88 mol % of one or more of acrylamides, methacrylamides, acrylates, methacrylates, and N-vinylpyrrolidone; wherein the polymer has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of less than 40° C.

Low molecular weight polyalkyl acrylate polymers can be used as high viscosity base fluids. A corresponding method can be used for their preparation. Lubricant compositions may contain such low molecular weight polyalkyl acrylate polymers and the compositions may be used as automatic transmission fluids, manual transmission fluids, continuously variable transmission fluids, gear oil formulations, industrial gear oil formulations, axle fluid formulations, dual clutch transmission fluids, dedicated hybrid transmission fluids, or hydraulic oils.

In the above formula, R.sup.1 represents a hydrogen atom, R.sup.2 represents a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms, and R.sup.3 represents a hydrogen atom or a hydrocarbon group having 4 to 30 carbon atoms.

The present invention generally relates to a method for applying a coating of hydrophilic polymers onto polyvinylalcohol-based hydrogel contact lenses to improve lubricity. In particular, the present invention is directed to a method for forming a coating on a contact lens, preferably a polyvinylalcohol-based hydrogel contact lens, directly in the primary package and maintaining the coated contact lens within said primary package until insertion of the coated contact lens in the eye of the contact lens user. The resultant polyvinylalcohol-based hydrogel contact lens has a coating with improved lubricity and good durability and also can be used directly from the lens package by a patient without washing and/or rinsing.

The invention relates to agents reducing the hydrodynamic drag of a turbulent flow of petroleum products in the process of transportation in pipelines. The technical result of the solution involves the preservation of the polymer structure so that the polymer is more effective in reducing the hydrodynamic drag, grinding costs in the production of the DRA, the aggregation of the DRA while reducing the amount of the separating agent and the need to inject a smaller amount of the reagent to reduce the hydrodynamic drag. The specified technical result is produced due to the development of a reagent for reducing the hydrodynamic drag of hydrocarbon liquids in pipelines, which consists of the first and the second component, in which case the first component comprises the particles of polyalphaolefin or polyacrylate, the second component is an anti-agglomerating agent.

A method is provided that forms a solid film on a bearing component of a rolling bearing. A solution containing a fluorine compound and a lubricant having no functional group is allowed to adhere to the bearing component as a liquid film, the fluorine compound containing 3-(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate, hexafluoropropene, and methyl methacrylate as components. The solid film is formed on the at least one of the bearing components by hardening the adhering liquid film.
