Abstract: Compositions which undergo cure by irradiation with UV, visible light or electron beam only after activation by hydroxylated surfaces or exposure to moisture are based on mixtures of cyclic thiasilanes and unsaturated silanes, siloxanes or hydrocarbons.
Abstract: A novel synthetic route to new classes of polymeric coupling agents using substituted epoxy monomers is reported. In the presence of an initiating agent and tris(pentafluorophenyl)borane catalyst, substituted epoxy monomers bearing polyalkylene oxide and trialkoxysilane moieties undergo a ring-opening polymerization. The polymerization is highly versatile and allows for the fine-tuning of functional, structural, and architectural features of the resulting polymeric coupling agents. These new polyalkylene oxides substituted with organosilyl groups are capable of bonding to and modifying inorganic surfaces. The products of this invention form thin hydrophilic films.

Abstract: This invention pertains to UV-absorbing coatings that may optionally be covered with an anti-reflective layer and that are applied to exterior-facing surfaces such as a window or other glass surface that are transparent or translucent. Such coatings are visible to various species of birds, but are generally transparent to humans. The UV absorbing coatings have a silane- or silane-derived chromophore or a combination of a silane- or siloxane-based material and a chromophore, which chromophores absorb UV light at about 300 to about 400 nm. More particularly, the silane- or siloxane-based chromophore is 2-hydroxy-4-(3-triethoxysilylpropoxy) diphenylketone or a derivative thereof.

Abstract: A continuous or semi-continuous process for producing a high purity germane includes (a) preparing a reaction mixture containing hydrogen and crude germane and (b) separating the hydrogen from the crude germane by a pressure swing adsorption process. The pressure swing adsorption process results in a hydrogen-rich product stream and a germane-rich product stream. The method further includes (c) purifying the germane-rich product stream by continuous distillation thereof to remove impurities therefrom and to produce a high purity germane containing less than 0.1 volume percent of impurities.
