Abstract:
A composite particle that includes: a fluorescent semiconductor core/shell nanoparticle (preferably, nanocrystal); and a thiol-substituted silicone ligand.
Abstract:
Methods of converting a fluorinated compound into a fluorinated acyl fluoride or derivative thereof, the method including reacting the fluorinated compound with a catalytic amount of at least one transition metal compound and an oxygen-containing compound to form the fluorinated acyl fluoride or derivative thereof. Compounds formed using such methods are also included, including for example and derivatives thereof, or combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Described is a quantum dot film article comprising a quantum dot of a cured thiol-epoxy matrix. The matrix formulations resist ingress from water and/or oxygen, while also providing acceptable color stability upon aging.
Abstract:
Fibers, which can be used for making wipes (e.g., antimicrobial wipes), wherein the fibers include a core comprising an aliphatic polyester; and an epoxidized fatty ester having greater than 4.7 wt-% oxirane oxygen, based on the total weight of the epoxidized fatty ester; wherein the epoxidized fatty ester is disposed on the surface of the fiber core.
Abstract:
Described herein is a melt-processible polymer composition comprising: a non-fluorinated melt-processible polymer; and a fluorine-containing polymer comprising an end-group having a structures from group consisting of: and combinations thereof; wherein X1, X2, and X3 are each independently selected from H, F, Cl, a C1 to C4 alkyl group, and a C1 to C4 fluorinated alkyl group; R7 is a linking group comprising at least 2 or more catenary atoms; and Z1 and Z2 are independently selected from F, CF3, and a perfluoroalkyl group.
Abstract:
Fluorocarbon- and urethane-(meth)acryl-containing additives and hardcoats. The hardcoats are particularly useful as a surface layer on an optical device.
