The present invention provides a process of coating at least a portion of a substrate surface comprising contacting the surface with hydrogen cyanide monomeric units under conditions permitting polymerisation of the hydrogen cyanide monomeric units to form a polymer that coats the surface. Also provided is a substrate coated by a polymer according to the claimed process. Also provided is a method of forming a hydrocyanic acid-based hydrogel, the method comprising co-polymerisation in a solution, the solution comprising hydrogen cyanide monomer units and co-monomers.

Hydrogen cyanide-based polymer surface coatings and hydrogels

A photochromic polymer comprising at least two photochromic moieties linked by a straight or branched chain polymer selected from the group consisting of a homo-polyester, a co-polyester, and a co-polyester-polyether.

Photochromic polymers

A photochromic polymer comprising at least two photochromic moieties linked by a straight or branched chain polymer selected from the group consisting of poly(Cto Calkylene oxide), poly[Cto Calkoxy substituted (Cto Calkylene oxide)] and poly[Cto C-acyloxy substituted (Cto Calkylene oxide)].

Photochromic polymer

A polymer comprising a conducting or semiconducting segment coupled to a polymer segment having an insulating polymer backbone, the polymer further comprising a RAFT functional group coupled to the polymer segment, wherein there is no RAFT functional group in between the conducting or semiconducting segment and the polymer segment.

Conducting and semiconducting organic materials

A photochromic polymer comprising at least one siloxane oligomer and at least two photochromic groups covalently linked to one or both terminuses of the siloxane oligomer and compositions containing photochromic siloxane polymers with narrow polydispersity. The photochromic polymer enhances switching speed in rigid host polymers.

The present invention relates to a controllable polymeric surface coating including a macromolecule, which is covalently bound to the surface of a substrate, the macromolecule including a plurality of polymerization initiators and a plurality of surface binding groups. Pendant polymers may be grafted from at least some of the polymerization initiators.

Polymeric coatings and methods for forming them

The present invention relates to a controllable polymeric surface coating including a macromolecule, which is covalently bound to the surface of a substrate, the macromolecule including a plurality of polymerization initiators and a plurality of surface binding groups; and pendant polymers grafted from at least some of the polymerization initiators.

The invention relates to a photochromic polymeric composition comprising a polymer matrix and a photochromic compound which is an adduct comprising a photochromic moiety and at least one pendant oligomer group to provide a rate of fade of the photochromic polymeric composition which is significantly changed when compared with the corresponding composition comprising the photochromic compound without said pendent oligomer. The invention also relates to a photochromic compound which is an adduct comprising a photochromic moiety and at least one pendent oligomer.
