Disclosed herein are electrolyte compositions comprising a fluorinated solvent, at least one silyl oxalate represented by the formulas RR'Si(CO), wherein R and R&#x2032; are each the same or different from each other and independently selected from C-Calkyl, C-Calkenyl, C-Calkynyl, or C-Caryl radical, optionally comprising at least one substituent selected from halogen, hydroxyl, alkoxy, carbonyl, and carboxyl groups; and LiPF6. Also disclosed herein are electrolyte compositions comprising a fluorinated solvent and a lithium oxalato phosphate salt represented by the formula LiPF(CO), wherein q is 1, 2 or 3; wherein the oxalato phosphate salt comprises at least a portion that is derived from at least one silyl oxalate as defined herein. The electrolyte compositions are useful in electrochemical cells, such as lithium ion batteries.

Nonaqueous electrolyte compositions comprising silyl oxalates

Disclosed are salt compositions of lysinol and dicarboxylic acids; and lysinol derived polymers including polyamide, polyimide, polyurea, cross-linked polyurea comprising urethane linkages, polyurea foams, cross-linked polyurea foams, and lysinol-epoxy thermoset.

Polymers derived from renewably resourced lysinol

The present invention is directed to a process for preparation of fluorinated alcohols of Formula (I)RCHCHOH&#x2003;&#x2003;(I)by contacting a fluorinated iodide with an alkyl vinyl ether in the presence of an initiator and a base to generate an intermediate hemi-acetal or aldehyde or a mixture thereof, followed by hydrogenation of the hemi-acetal of Formula (II)RCHCH(OCH)(OH)&#x2003;&#x2003;(II)or aldehyde of Formula (III)RCHCHO&#x2003;&#x2003;(III)or a mixture thereof, to yield a compound of Formula (I).

Process for producing fluorinated alcohols

New fluorinated ethers of aromatic acids and diesters are disclosed. These compositions can be applied to, e.g., fibers, yarns, carpets, garments, films, molded parts, paper and cardboard, stone, and tile to impart soil, water and oil resistance. By incorporating the fluorinated ethers of aromatic acids, or diesters thereof, into polymer backbones, more lasting soil, water and oil resistance, as well as improved flame retardance, can be achieved.

Process for the synthesis of fluorinated ethers of aromatic acids

Provided are films made from copolyesters having improved oil repellency as compared to conventional copolyesters. The copolyesters are derived from certain perfluorinated monomers.

Polyester films with improved oil repellency

Linear block copolymers that have at least one hydrophilic block and at least one hydrophobic block, wherein the hydrophilic block of the copolymer has at least one carboxylic acid functionality (or salt thereof) that can readily decarboxylate. These copolymers are useful as binders and/or dispersants in inkjet inks.

Decarboxylating block copolymers

Disclosed are fluorovinyl ether functionalized aromatic diesters and derivatives thereof. The compounds disclosed have utility as functionalized monomers and comonomers in polyesters, polyamides, and the like. It has been found that incorporation of the monomers into polymers provides improved soil resistance to shaped articles produced from the polymers.

Fluorovinyl ether functionalized aromatic diesters, derivatives thereof, and process for the preparation thereof

Disclosed are polyesters, particularly poly(trimethylene terephthalate), comprising fluorovinylether functionalized aromatic repeat units, and methods to make the polyester polymers. The polymers are useful for imparting soil resistance to polyesters, particularly in the form of fibers, fabrics, and carpets.

Polyesters comprising fluorovinylether functionalized aromatic moieties

An ink set is provided which produces a printed article having excellent physical durability. The ink set contains a first liquid composition containing a reactive carbonyl group and a second liquid composition containing a co-reactive amine group, at least one of the first liquid composition and the second liquid composition further containing a coloring material. When the two inks are printed on a substrate in at least a partially overlapping arrangement, the reactive amine and reactive carbonyl species can crosslink to form a more durable image.

Inkjet ink set

Boron based catalysts and processes for preparing the catalysts are provided. The catalysts are suitable for the alkoxylation of alcohols using alkylene epoxides.

Boron-based catalysts

Described is a process for the alkoxylation of alcohols with I, Cl, or CHCOendgroups, using alkylene epoxides in the presence of boron based catalysts.

Alkyl alkoxylates containing unique end groups

Processes for the alkoxylation of alcohols using alkylene epoxides in the presence of boron based catalysts are provided.

Process for the alkoxylation of alcohols

The present invention is directed to compositions and processes that are useful in making organosilicon polymers, including cross-linked organosilicon networks. The invention is also directed to articles that incorporate the cross-linked organosilicon networks.
