Organic-inorganic hybrid fibers and methods for the preparation of such fibers are disclosed.

Organic-inorganic electrospun fibers

Process of electrospinning organic-inorganic fibers

The present invention relates to materials comprising organic-inorganic polymeric networks. In some embodiments, the present invention provides an organic-inorganic composite material comprising an inorganic metal oxide matrix interpenetrating with a polymeric phase. Additionally, the present invention provides methods of producing organic-inorganic composite materials.

Organic-inorganic nanocomposite materials and methods of making and using the same

A method of designing the appearance of an article having steps of creating a digital file of a design configuration for an article, representing the design configuration on a computer screen, selecting or creating a color for a coating composition to be applied to the article, generating color data for the created color, merging the color data with the digital file of the design configuration, and displaying on the computer screen an image of the article coated with the colored coating composition. Accurate calibration of the color of the article on a computer screen allows for production of coated articles based on the generated color data. The color data is further transmitted to a formulation computer that determines the formulation for a coating composition exhibiting the color data. Output from the formulation computer may be directly transmitted to a production facility for coating articles with the coating composition.

Method and system for designing the color of a coating composition on an article

A coating composition which includes an aminoalkyl (meth)acrylate containing acrylic polymer, a fluorocarbon polymer and a solvent. The acrylic polymer includes at least one (meth)acrylate monomers and an aminoalkyl (meth)acrylate monomer described by the structure: where Z is a divalent linking group; R2 and R3 are independently selected from H or C1-C6 linear or branched aliphatic; and R4 is H or CH3. The fluoropolymer coating composition may be applied using coil coating, spray coating or extrusion coating methods to an appropriate substrate.

Functional fluoropolymers and thermosetting compositions containing same

Cured coatings having particles at a surface region of the cured coating are provided. Also provided are multi-component composite coatings which include a cured basecoat deposited from a pigmented coating composition and a cured topcoat deposited from a topcoating composition. The multi-component composite coatings of the invention provide highly scratch resistant color-plus-clearcoatings capable of retaining scratch resistance after weathering.

Cured coatings having improved scratch resistance, coated substrates and methods thereto

A method comprising heating to elevated temperature a ceramic substrate having thereon a sequence of coatings of pigmented coating compositions wherein each of said pigmented coating compositions comprises: (a) reactive organic resin which is polyhydroxy-functional, polyepoxy-functional, or both epoxy-functional and hydroxy-functional; (b) reactive wax; (c) color-imparting pigment; and (d) blocked polyisocyanate; wherein: (e) the pigmented coating composition of at least one coating of the sequence is substantially free of amino-functional curing agent; and (f) the pigmented coating composition of at least one other coating of the sequence further comprises amino-functional curing agent; to crosslink all of the pigmented coating compositions of the coatings of the sequence and to adhere the sequence to the ceramic substrate. The preferred ceramic substrates are glass bottles.The outermost coating of the sequence may optionally be overlain with a coating of substantially clear overcoating composition which comprises reactive organic resin which is polyhydroxy-functional, polyepoxy-functional, or both epoxy-functional and hydroxy-functional. Upon heating to the elevated curing temperature, the substantially clear overcoating composition is crosslinked together with the pigmented coating compositions.

Method for forming a sequence of crosslinked pigmented coatings on ceramic substrates

The invention pertains to compositions which can be coated onto substrates. These compositions include a combination of a resin blend comprising a first polyester resin and a second polyester resin, wherein the first polyester is different from the second polyester, an aminoplast crosslinking resin, an acid catalyst, and a urea-aldehyde resin. Films prepared from coating compositions made in accordance with the present invention having improved stain resistance. In many instances, films prepared from coating compositions made in accordance with the present invention not only have improved stain resistance, but also have low temperature flexibility.

Coil coating compositions with low temperature flexibility and improved stain resistance

The invention provides a novel coating composition which includes: (a) a polyester-based resin component, (b) an epoxy component, (c) a crosslinker component, (d) a catalyst component, and (e) a diluent component. The polyester-based resin component includes at least one phosphatized polyester resin; and the epoxy component includes at least one phosphatized epoxy resin. These coating compositions are particularly suitable as primers, and especially as primers for use used in conjunction with coating composition which include fluorocarbon polymers. Also provided is a method of providing a substrate with a multilayer coating system. This method includes: (a) applying at least one layer of the aforementioned novel primer onto a substrate; and (b) applying at least one layer of a second coating composition over the primed substrate of step (a). When this method employs the use of a second coating composition which includes fluorocarbon polymers, the results is multi-layered coated substrate which, while having excellent weatherability properties, also has excellent formability properties.

Flexible phosphatized polyester-urethane primers and improved coating

The present invention pertains to durable, chemically-resistant films made from terpolymers. These terpolymers include repeating units of a fluorinated unsaturated monomer, a diester of an unsaturated anhydride with at least one hydroxyl group, and an olefin. The novel films result from curing a coating composition which include: (a) a polymeric component which includes the terpolymers described above, and (b) a crosslinking component. The films of the present invention have many of the excellent physical properties typically associated with those derived from hydroxy-functional fluoropolymers.

Fluoropolymers and coating compositions

Polyphosphazenes are produced by polymerizing a silylated phosphinimine in the presence of an initiator, preferably an anionic initiator at temperatures below those typically necessary for such polymerization reactions. The polyphosphazenes obtained are suitable for use in the production of elastomeric and thermoplastic materials.
