The present application provides agents for producing an impact-modified epoxy adhesive encompassing at least two components A and B packaged separately from each other, wherein (a) component A contains at least one compound having two or more isocyanate groups together with one or more further additives, (b) component B contains at least one compound which has at least two reactive groups selected from hydroxyl groups, thiol groups, primary amino groups and secondary amino groups and is simultaneously free from epoxy groups, together with one or more further additives, (c) at least one of components A and/or B contains at least one epoxide prepolymer as an additive, (d) at least one of components A and/or B contains at least one latent hardener for epoxide prepolymers as an additive, and (e) components A and B contain no blowing agent that is capable of being heat activated.

The present invention relates to a multilayer barrier film capable of encapsulating a moisture and/or oxygen sensitive electronic or optoelectronic device, the barrier film including at least one nanostructured layer including reactive nanoparticles capable of interacting with moisture and/or oxygen, the reactive nanoparticles being distributed within a polymeric binder, and at least one ultraviolet light neutralizing layer comprising a material capable of absorbing ultraviolet light, thereby limiting the transmission of ultraviolet light through the barrier film.

A medical device, such as a medical wire, which includes a coating applied to the surface of the medical wire. The coating includes a base layer bonded to the surface of the medical wire and an at least partially transparent low-friction top coat applied to the base layer. The base layer includes heat activated pigments that change color when heated above a color shifting temperature. In one embodiment, the color of the pigment in one area contrasts with the color of the pigment in an adjacent area without otherwise affecting the low-friction surface of the coating. The areas of different color created in locations along the length of the low-friction coated medical wire form markings which, as an example, enable a surgeon to determine the length of the medical wire inserted into a body by observing the markings on the portion of the marked medical wire located exterior to the body.
