Abstract: Combinations of alkyl siloxy siloxane-containing polymers admixed with liquid polydimethylsiloxanes are excellent non-stinging, non-irritating liquid coating material for forming films which act as conformable bandages adhering to and protecting nails, skin and mucous membrane wounds from abrasion, contamination, and desiccation, while stopping pain from exposed nerve ends and allowing body fluid evaporation.

Abstract: Polymers containing alkoxylated nitrogen salts of sulfonic acid are useful for imparting good conditioning properties such as combability, feel, manageability, and curl retention to hair. The polymers may also comprise neutral, anionic, and/or cationic monomers.

Abstract: A multilayered composite product useful as an electrical circuit is produced by coating a base with a photoimagable resin free of catalyst or catalyst activator for electroless metal deposition. The resin is patterned by exposure to a desired light, through a mask followed by development. The patterned cured resin is selectively chemically modified while avoiding chemical modification of the base to render the cured resin receptive to a metal catalyst. The metal catalyst which promotes subsequent electroless metal deposition is selectively absorbed on the patterned cured resin and is converted to a catalytically active form. A conductive metal then is deposited selectively on the catalyst-containing patterned cured resin.

Abstract: A method of developing a positive photoresist layer which has been image-wise-exposed comprising contacting the layer with an alkaline developing composition to remove exposed areas of the layer, the developing composition comprising a solution containing a cyclic quaternary ammonium hydroxide developing agent in a sufficient concentration to remove exposed areas of the layer. The present invention also includes a developing composition for use in the method.

Abstract: Polymers containing alkoxylated nitrogen salts of sulfonic acids are useful for imparting good conditioning properties such as improved feel to skin, and skin irritation reduction, and humectancy. The polymers may also comprise neutral, anionic, and/or cationic monomers.

Abstract: A process is provided for fabricating metallic patterns such as resonant RF-tuned circuits on a polyolefin film such as polyethylene or polypropylene film. The film is processed under conditions such as to maintain its mechanical integrity by being passed through a solvent plasticizing bath, an etch bath to provide attraction sites and adhesion for catalytic metal deposition, a conditioning bath to improve catalyst adhesion and a catalyst bath to deposit a catalytic metal for electroless metal deposition. A negative image is printed on the film and an electroless metal deposit followed by an electrolytic metal plate are applied to the film to produce the desired metallic patterns. Optionally, prior to the printing step, an electroless metal deposit, with or without a thin electrolytic metal plate, can be applied to the total film surface. Thereafter, a negative or positive printed image is coated on the film.
