A coating having an adhesive hydrophilic polymer and an amphiphilic additive. The amphiphilic additive has a hydrophilic chain, a biocidal functional group bonded to the hydrophilic chain, and a hydrophobic moiety bonded to the hydrophilic chain or to the biocidal functional group. A method of forming a biocidal surface by providing an article, and coating the article with the above coating. A compound having the formula:Y&#x2014;(O&#x2014;CH&#x2014;CH)&#x2014;R&#x2014;(CH)&#x2014;CH.Y is CHor H. R is X is a halogen, and m and n are independently selected positive integers.

Multifunctional self-decontaminating surface coating

The present invention is a cyanate resin monomer having the formula:

Composites of fluoroaliphatic cyanate resins for low dielectric

A wet-spinning fiber process which controls the micro-structure of the wepun fiber by varying the non-solvent/solvent miscibility and precipitation strength.

Wet-spinning fiber process providing controlled morphology of the

Fluoroaliphatic cyanate resins for low dielectric applications

A metallization is coated with a network polymer. The network polymer may either a cross-linked polyfluorinated polyallylether-polyhydromethylsiloxane copolymer or a network polymer formed from cross-linked fluoromethylene cyanate ester monomers. These polymer networks are resistant to the diffusion of a metallization, such as copper, therethrough.

Inter-level dielectrics with low dielectric constants

A fabric chemical sensor, a process and an apparatus is disclosed. The sensor, process and apparatus are for the detection, classification, identification and/or quantitation of one or more component chemicals of a chemical vapor via a resistance measurment made across sensor in response to exposure of the sensor to the chemical vapor.

Conductive polymer coated fabrics for chemical sensing

A metallization is coated with a network polymer. The network polymer may be either a cross-linked polyfluorinated polyallylether-polyhydromethylsiloxane copolymer or a network polymer formed from cross-linked fluoromethylene cyanate ester monomers. These polymer networks are resistant to the diffusion of a metallization, such as copper, therethrough.

This invention comprises the use of diacetylene-containing polymers, e.g., olyamides containing reactive diacetylene groups that change their absorption in the visible spectrum with the application of strain as a strain sensing device in various organic matrix composites such as an epoxy laminated composite. The built in sensors in accordance with this invention will not affect the mechanical performance of the composite and will indicate strain without the need for extensive electronic equipment to measure the light pulse amplitude or phase before and after strain.
