Abstract: A plastic article is provided wherein a plastic substrate is coated with multiple resin layers including a primer layer comprising a polymer having a UV-absorptive functional group incorporated therein and a weather resistant hardcoat layer comprising a reaction product of alkoxysilyl-containing benzophenone and/or a hydrolyzate thereof.

Abstract: There is disclosed a coating composition comprising any one or more of a fluorooxyalkylene-containing one-terminal hydrolysable polymer as shown by the following formula (1), and a fluorooxyalkylene-containing both-terminal hydrolysable polymer as shown by the following formula (2). As a result, there is provided a coating composition comprising any one or more of a fluorooxyalkylene-containing one-terminal hydrolysable polymer and a fluorooxyalkylene-containing both-terminal hydrolysable polymer, having excellent water-repellent and oil-repellent properties and chemical resistance as well as excellent scratch resistance and surface sliding property.

Abstract: Core/shell type tetragonal titanium oxide particles consisting of a nanosized core of tetragonal titanium oxide having tin and manganese incorporated in solid solution and a shell of silicon oxide around the core are dispersed in an aqueous dispersing medium. The cores and the core/shell type titanium oxide particles have an average particle size of ?30 nm and ?50 nm, respectively. The amount of tin or manganese in solid solution is to provide a molar ratio Ti/Sn or Ti/Mn between 10 and 1,000.

Abstract: A UV-shielding silicone coating composition comprises (A) a dispersion in a dispersing medium of composite zinc oxide nanoparticles which are obtained by coating zinc oxide nanoparticles with an oxide or hydroxide of Al, Si, Zr or Sn, the dispersion having a photocatalytic degradability of up to 25%, (B) a silicone resin, (C) a curing catalyst, and (D) a solvent, the solids content of composite zinc oxide nanoparticle dispersion (A) being 1 to 50% by weight based on silicone resin (B). The composition is transparent to visible light, mar resistant, UV-shielding, weatherable, and durable.

Abstract: A composition comprising (A) a hydrolytic condensate of a bisphenol A alkoxysilane, (B) silica colloid sol, and (C) a curing catalyst is coated and cured to a transparent substrate to form a transparent film having crack resistance, flexibility and water vapor barrier properties.
