Abstract:
Nanocomposite hardcoats having smudge and abrasion resistant properties are disclosed. Latent reactive nanoparticles are contained within a binder phase to form a nanocomposite. When deprotected and treated with a reactive fluorochemical, nanoparticles present at the surface of the nanocomposite become permanently modified and impart smudge resistance. The nanocomposite hardcoats may optionally be supported on a primary substrate.
Abstract:
A method for forming an inorganic or hybrid organic/inorganic layer on a substrate, which method comprises applying a metal alkoxide to form a layer atop the substrate and exposing the metal alkoxide layer to heat from a catalytic combustion heater in the presence of water to cure the layer is provided.
Abstract:
Un método para preparar un artículo resistente a las manchas y la abrasión, que comprende los pasos de: a) poner en contacto una pluralidad de nanopartículas inorgánicas con un agente de acoplamiento latente para formar nanopartículas reactivas latentes; b) mezclar íntimamente las nanopartículas reactivas latentes con un precursor ligante; c) curar el precursor ligante para formar una nanocomposición que tiene una primera superficie expuesta que comprende nanopartículas reactivas latentes; d) desproteger una pluralidad de nanopartículas reactivas latentes para formar nanopartículas reactivas en la primera superficie de la nanocomposición; y e) poner en contacto un compuesto fluoroquímico reactivo con la primera superficie de la nanocomposición de tal modo que los grupos orgánicos fluorados se enlazan por covalencia a una pluralidad de las nanopartículas reactivas presentes en la primera superficie de la nanocomposición.
Abstract:
Optical films are described having a polymerized microstructured surface that comprises the reaction product of a polymerizable resin composition comprising at least one polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated triphenyl monomer. Also described are certain triphenyl (meth)acrylate monomers and polymerizable resin compositions.

Abstract:
A method for forming an inorganic or hybrid organic/inorganic layer on a substrate, which method comprises vaporizing a metal alkoxide, condensing the metal alkoxide to form a layer atop the substrate, and contacting the condensed metal alkoxide layer with water to cure the layer is disclosed.
Abstract:
Optical films having a polymerized microstructured surface are described. The polymerized microstructured surface comprises the reaction product of a polymerizable resin composition comprising 10% to 100 wt-% of at least one biphenyl di(meth)acrylate monomer. The di(meth)acrylate monomer comprises a core biphenyl structure having two aromatic rings connected with a C-C bond. The biphenyl di(meth)acrylate monomer comprises a sufficient amount of ortho and/or meta (meth)acrylate substituents such that the monomer is a liquid at 25°C.
