Polar silane linkers are provided that attach to resins to form silane-functionalized resins. The functionalized resins can be bound to hydroxyl groups on the surface of silica particles to improve the dispersibility of the silica particles in rubber mixtures. Further disclosed are synthetic routes to provide the silane-functionalized resins, as well as various uses and end products that benefit from the unexpected properties of the silane-functionalized resins. Silane-functionalized resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the silane-functionalized resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, and wet braking performance.

A semi-crystalline polyester comprising a repeat unit of the formula: wherein A is an aliphatic, aromatic, or heterocyclic group; Ris selected from the group consisting of 1,4-butanediol residue and 1,4-cyclohexanedimethanol residue; Ris neopentanediol residue; m is between 50 and 99 inclusive; n is between 1 and 50 inclusive; x is between 1 and 200 inclusive; and wherein said semi-crystalline polyester exhibits a minimum crystallization half-time of about 0.3 minutes or greater, or about 0.5 minutes or greater or about 0.6 minutes or greater or about 0.7 minutes or greater is described. The polyesters of the present invention may in various embodiments demonstrate one or more desirable performance characteristics and accordingly are particularly useful in applications and utilities wherein those high levels of performance for such characteristics are required. A process for forming the semi-crystalline polyester is also disclosed.

Polyesters with specified crystallization half-times

Disclosed is a process for making nitrated styrenic fluoropolymers having various degrees of substitution. The nitrated styrenic fluoropolymer is capable of providing an exceptionally high birefringence ranging from 0.02 to 0.036. Further, the birefringence can be tuned by varying the degree of substitution (DS) of the nitro group on the styrenic ring to meet the need for optical compensation film applications. More particularly, the optical compensation films of the present invention are for use in an in-plane switching LCD (IPS-LCD) and OLED display.

Method for the preparation of nitrated styrenic fluoropolymers

Disclosed is a multilayer optical compensation film comprising a first layer comprising a positive C-plate material and a second layer comprising a polyimide, as well as polymer compositions and resins and solutions containing said polymer compositions. The optical compensation film has a reversed wavelength dispersion that is capable of providing an achromatic (or broadband) retardation compensation. The optical film can be used in optical devices such as liquid crystal displays (LCD) or organic light emitting diode (OLED) displays.

Multilayer optical compensation film having reversed wavelength dispersion

Disclosed is an optical compensation film made of a solution cast of a polymer blend comprising a nitrated styrenic fluoropolymer and a polyimide. The compensation film is a positive-C plate having reversed wavelength dispersion that is capable of providing an achromatic (or broadband) retardation compensation. The optical film of the invention can be used in an optical device such as liquid crystal display (LCD) or organic light emitting diode (OLED) display.
