Conversion and passivation coatings and methods for metal surfaces such as steel and aluminum are disclosed. The coating compositions comprise an aqueous sol of cerium oxide and/or silica particles and a ureido silane compound. The methods of the invention comprise contacting the requisite metal surface with the coating composition.

No-rinse pretreatment methods and compositions

Plant oil-based compounds are provided which possess both low viscosity and high reactive functionality. These compounds are useful in coating and composite applications, as well as related methods. Exemplary compounds can be produced by transesterification of a plant oil triglyceride with a nucleophile reactant, such as a vinyl-functional alcohol, to yield reactive fatty acid-containing monomers.

Plant oil-based materials

Polyamide copolymers, and methods of making and using polyamide copolymers, having 2,5-furan dicarboxamide units are disclosed herein. Such polymers can be useful for engineering thermoplastics having advantageous physical and/or chemical properties.

Polyamide copolymers having 2,5-furan dicarboxamide units

Amphiphilic copolymers formed from plant oil-derived vinyl ether monomers and polyethylene glycol alkyl vinyl ethers are provided. Nanoparticles coated with these amphiphilic polymers are well-suited for water remediation applications.

Functionalized amphiphilic plant-based polymers

Monomers, polymers and copolymers are provided that incorporate at least one naturally occurring phenolic compound, such as a plant phenol.

Monomers and polymers derived from natural phenols

Vegetable oil-based polymers for nanoparticle surface modification

Polymers and copolymers are formed from vinylether monomers having fatty acid ester pendent groups derived from plant oils, such as soybean oil.

Polymers derived from plant oil

The present invention provides an amphiphilic polymeric material well-suited as a coating for marine applications, such as use as a fouling-release coating on the external surfaces of ships, particularly ship hulls. Also provided are methods of making the polymeric material and methods for using the polymeric material, as well as articles and surfaces that are coated with the polymeric material.

Amphiphilic fouling release coatings

Polysiloxane-based materials, which include metal species, are provided. The polysiloxane-based compositions and materials generally include (i) amino-functional polysiloxane material and (ii) a plurality of metal species distributed within the polymeric material. Polymer based compositions in which the amino-functional polysiloxane material includes quaternary ammonium groups, e.g., tetraalkyl ammonium groups, are examples of suitable materials which may be used to form the present compositions. The metal species, which may be in an oxidized and/or neutral state, may be bonded, coordinated, chelated, suspended, and/or dispersed within the polymeric material.

Antimicrobial polysiloxane materials containing metal species

Conversion and passivation coatings and methods for treating metal surfaces such as steel and aluminum are disclosed. The coating compositions comprise a silane and a stabilizing agent. The methods herein comprise contacting the requisite metal surface with the coating composition.

Storage stable composition of partial and/or complete condensate of hydrolyzable organofunctional silane

Chromate-free and metal phosphate free treatments and compositions for applying a conversion or passivation coating for metals, more particularly, steel, zinc coated steel, and aluminum surfaces. The methods of the invention comprise contacting the requisite metal surface with a treatment composition comprising a member or members comprising one or more Group IV B elements, fluoride, and phosphonic acid or phosphonate. Optionally, a silane may be added as a treatment component.

Rinsable metal pretreatment methods and compositions

Functionalized cross-linked polysiloxanes, such as quaternary ammonium terminated cross-linked polyalkylsiloxanes are described herein. The functionalized cross-linked polysiloxanes may be used in an antifouling composition to prevent biological fouling in aqueous and/or marine environments.

Quaternary ammonium functionalized cross-linked polyalkylsiloxanes with anti-fouling activity

A polymer that is a polysiloxane polymer has fluoroquinolone antibiotic groups, or pharmaceutically acceptable salts thereof, attached via linkers. The linkers may be hydrolytically labile thereby providing a manner of releasing the fluoroquinolone antibiotic from the polymer.

Siloxane polymer containing tethered fluoroquinolone

Polyamine cross-linked polysiloxanes, such as functionalized polysiloxane cross-linked with a polyalkylenepolyamine are described herein. The polyamine cross-linked polysiloxanes may be used in an antifouling composition to prevent biological fouling in marine environments.

Antifouling materials containing cationic polysiloxanes
