Abstract: There is provided herein a silylated organo-modified compound which comprises: at least one moiety having the formula (A): wherein the subscript a is 1 or 2, each D is independently NH or O, each of X, Y and Z are independently an unsubstituted or substituted C or N, the dashed lines between X, Y, and Z indicate an optional double bond between either X and Y or Y and Z, with the proviso that when any of X, Y, or Z is a substituted N atom, such substituted N atom does not participate in a double bond, and each Q is independently O or S; and, at least two moieties having the formula (B):

Abstract: A composition comprising at least one thermoplastic resin and a silicone-masterbatch, articles comprising the compositions, devices comprising the articles, and processes for preparing the article. The compositions are suitable for use as part of or as a separator material for use in an electrochemical device. The composition is used to prepare a film, a membrane, a matrix, a resin, a coating, or a paint, etc., which can be employed as a separator or to coat or form part of a layer of a separator material useful in a device such as an electrical storage device such as, for example, a battery, a fuel cell, a capacitor, etc.

Abstract: There is provided herein a resin composition comprising: (i) a silane coupling agent of the general formula (I): as described herein, and (ii) at least one resin which is interactive with one or more of the R1, R2 and X groups of silane coupling agent (i).

Abstract: A polyolefin composition is shown and described herein. The polyolefin composition is a composition comprising a polyolefin resin and a filler where the filler is treated with an acrylic functional silane. Employing a filler treated with an acrylic functional silane may allow for eliminating some common polyolefins reinforcing additives such as modified or grafted polyolefins. The composition can be employed to make a molded article.
