Abstract: A method for inhibiting or preventing polymerization of a polymerization composition comprises: adding at least one inhibitor(s) to the polymerization composition to stabilize and inhibit the polymerization of the polymerization composition, wherein the polymerization composition contains disilacyclobutane monomers, wherein the inhibitor is selected from amine compounds, quaternary ammonium salts or metal chelating agents.

Abstract: Phase separated self-healing polymeric wood coatings having a “biphasic” thermoset/thermoplastic morphology to achieve self-healing. The biphasic structure has: (i) a major “load-bearing” thermoset phase that has superior strength and performs major mechanical and structural functions, and (ii) a “self-healing” phase of a thermoplastic healing agent to repair the material and restore its mechanical and structural integrity after being damaged. The phase-separated morphology is achieved through phase separation via a reaction process. Methodologies for achieving the above mentioned “biphasic” structure in solvent borne thermally cured resin, waterborne resin, and solvent borne UV-curable resin are described.
