Abstract: A protective coating is formed on an integrated circuit device by coating the device with a solution of acetylene terminated, branched polyphenylene prepolymer material and heating the material to form a thermoset crosslinked polymer layer. Selectively patterned portions may be provided when, after the coating step and prior to the heating step, the steps of imagewise exposure to radiation and rinsing with an organic solvent are carried out.

Abstract: Novel E-beam resists and process for their use are described. These resists are conducting organic charge transfer salts. Films of these materials can be deposited by solvent casting or by sublimation. The deposited film can be made to produce a positive or negative resist image depending on the E-beam energy and exposure time. Exposure of this material to an E-beam produces patterns having differential electrical, optical and solvation properties.

Abstract: Soluble, polymerizable oligomers having a number average molecular weight of from about 200 to about 10,000, are obtained by treating triethynylbenzene with an oxygen-carrying, amine-basic cupric salt complex catalyst in the presence of a molar excess over the monomer of an aromatic monacetylenic capping agent. The oligomers are used to form polymers which are adhesives and coatings.

Abstract: Organic prepolymer fillers capable of curing and reacting chemically with elastomers to form covalent bonds therewith are mixed with elastomers to form reinforcing domains with diameters of from 0.01 to about 50 microns, and when the mixture is cured, the mechanical strength of the elastomer is increased. In many cases, the thermal stability and/or the hydrolytic stability will also be increased.

Abstract: Wetting by toners of the surface of reusable photoconductors in electrophotographic processes results on image cycling in adhesion of the toner to the photoconductor surface to form a film. Such filming is reduced or eliminated by including in the developer a small amount of certain unpigmented organic polymeric materials having smaller particle size than the pigmented toner particles. Suitable organic polymers are fluorinated hydrocarbon polymers and copolymers, and polyethylene.
