The present invention provides a photocatalyst-containing water-based curable coating composition capable of forming a cured coating film having an excellent durability against the oxidative decomposition effect caused by the photocatalyst, and an excellent crack resistance, as well as excellent weather resistance and stain resistance; and a method for producing the coating composition. Specifically, the present invention provides a photocatalyst-containing water-based curable coating composition comprising: one of a water-based dispersion (X1) or a water-based dispersion (X2), which includes a water-based medium, a polymer segment (A) having a neutralized acid group, a polysiloxane segment (B) forming a composite resin (AB) by chemically bonding with the polymer segment (A), a polysiloxane segment (C) derived from an alkyltrialkoxysilane condensate (c) with an alkyl group of 1 to 3 carbon atoms, the polysiloxane segment (C) forming a composite resin (ABC) by coupling with the polymer segment (A) and the polysiloxane segment (B) via silicon-oxygen bonds, and fine particles of a photocatalytic oxide (D), wherein the water-based dispersion (X1) is formed by dispersing or dissolving the composite resin (ABC) and dispersing the fine particles of a photocatalytic oxide (D) in the water-based medium, the water-based dispersion (X2) is formed by dispersing resin particles in a water-based medium, the resin particles formed by the encapsulation of the fine particles of a photocatalytic oxide (D) within the composite resin (ABC); and a curing agent (E) for curing the composite resin (ABC), and a method for producing the coating composition.

Photocatalyst-containing water-based curable coating compositions and process for production thereof

The present invention is to provides an ultraviolet-curable resin composition which contains a composite resin (A) having a polysiloxane segment (a1) having a silanol group and/or a hydrolytic silyl group as well as a polymerizable double bond and a polymer segment (a2) other than the polysiloxane segment (a1), and a photo initiator (B). The ultraviolet-curable resin composition is able to form a cured coating film excellent in weatherability such as scratch resistance, acid resistance, alkali resistance and solvent resistance, without heating.

Ultraviolet-curable resin composition, ultraviolet-curable coating and coated article

Disclosed is a syndiotactic propylene copolymer containing 0.01 to 40 mol % of olefin units containing --OH group in the side chain. Of absorption peaks attributed to the methyl groups of the propylene units on an absorption spectrum by .sup.13 C-NMR of the copolymer, the intensity of an absorption peak observed at about 20.2 ppm is 0.3 or more of the intensity of absorption peaks of all the methyl groups attributed to the propylene units. The copolymer is produced by copolymerizing propylene and an alkenylsilane or alkenylborane compound in the presence of a catalyst system comprising an asymmetric ligands-having transition metal compound and an aluminoxane, followed by heat-treating the resulting propylene-alkenylsilane copolymer in the presence of a trialkylamine oxide and KF.HF or oxidizing and decomposing the resulting propylene-alkenylborane compound copolymer. Also disclosed is a resin composition comprising the copolymer and other polyolefin(s).

Syndiotactic propylene copolymer, preparation of the same, and resin

There is disclosed a homoplymer of an alkenylsilane having a syndiotactic structure and a copolymer of the alkenylsilane and an .alpha.-olefin. The polymer and the copolymer can be prepared by subjecting the alkenylsilane or the alkenylsilane and the .alpha.-olefin to addition polymerization in the presence of a transition metal compound having asymmetirically interconnected ligands or preferably in the presence of the transition metal compound and aluminoxane. The polymer and the copolymer can be used as a nucleating agent for a crystalline polypropylene.
