Abstract: A binder for a marine coating composition comprising the reaction product of a polysiloxane unit A? and at least one second monomer B? that undergoes a polymerisation reaction with said polysiloxane unit A? so as to form a copolymer of structure -[ABAB]- wherein the backbone of said copolymer comprises a plurality of hydrolysable ester functional groups that will hydrolyse in the presence of seawater.

Abstract: The invention relates to a hydrolysable binder based on an ABAB type polysiloxane copolymer suitable for the preparation of coating compositions with an improved anti-adhesive and/or dirt-repellent surface.

Abstract: A method for the manufacture of articles of thiol-ene polymers comprises the steps: a) reacting a compound comprising at least two thiol groups and a compound comprising at least two carbon-carbon double bonds, in off stochiometry ratios to obtain a first intermediate article, wherein said first intermediate article comprises at least one unreacted group selected from an unreacted thiol group and an unreacted carbon-carbon double bond, and b) contacting said first intermediate article with a second article, wherein the surface of said second article at least partially comprises reactive groups and reacting at least a part of said unreacted groups on said first intermediate article with chemical groups on said second article to obtain covalent bonds and forming a final article.
