Abstract: Fluoroacrylates comprise the reaction product of: (a) at least one fluorochemical alcohol represented by the formula: CnF2n+1—X—OH wherein: n=1 to 4, R=hydrogen or an alkyl group of 1 to 4 carbon atoms, m=2 to 8, Rf=CnF2n+1, y=0 to 6, and q=1 to 8; (b) at least one unbranched symmetric diusocyanate; and (c) at least one hydroxy-terminated alkyl (meth)acrylate or 2-fluoro acrylate monomer having 2 to about 30 carbon atoms in its alkylene portion.

Abstract: A method of transferring data between applications, wherein at least one datum relating to a subject is published by a first application over a transport infrastructure; and the published at least one datum is provided in accordance with a delivery protocol to a second application that has previously subscribed to the subject, subscription to a subject comprising specifying one of a plurality of delivery protocols; and the published at least one datum being provided in accordance with the delivery protocol specified in the course of the second application's subscription to the subject.

Abstract: A process for preparing fluorochemical monoisocyanates comprises reacting at least one fluorochemical alcohol represented by the formula CnF2n+1SO2NCH3(CH2)mOH, wherein n=2 to 5, and m=2 to 4, with 4,4?-diphenylmethane diisocyanate (MDI) in a solvent in which the resulting fluorochemical monoisocyanate is not soluble; wherein the molar ratio of fluorochemical alcohol:MDI is from about 1:1 to about 1:2.5.
