Abstract: The invention relates to a dental composition comprising a) halogenated aryl alkyl ether component (A) comprising at least 1 aryl alkyl ether moiety, at least 1 halogen atom attached to each aryl residue of the aryl alkyl ether moieties, at least 2 unsaturated moieties, b) Si—H functional component (B), c) initiator (C), d) optionally filler (D), and e) optionally component (E) selected from modifiers, dyes, pigments, thixotropic agents, flow improvers, polymeric thickness, surfactants, odorous substances, diluting agent(s) and flavourings.

Abstract: The invention relates to a curable composition comprising addition curable silicone component (A) having a linear siloxane backbone at least one unsaturated, non-activated side group pendant from the Si atom or atoms in the backbone, component (A) having an equivalent weight in the range of about 68 to about 1000, crosslinker component (B) comprising at least 2 SiH groups, catalyst component (C) being able to catalyse the reaction between component (A) and component (B), filler component (D), wherein the equivalent weight is defined as (molecular weight of the molecule)/(number of unsaturations in the molecule).

Abstract: An absorbent polymer composition, which can be in the form of a foam, that includes a polymeric material, absorbent particles and thermally expandable (or expanded) microspheres.

Abstract: A balloon for use in a catheter, wherein the balloon is formed from an aromatic polyester, preferably a blend of a major component comprising an aromatic polyester, and a minor component comprising a compatible secondary thermoplastic semicrystalline polymer having a crystallinity less than that of the aromatic polyester of the major component.
