Abstract: The present invention relates to multi-functional polymeric resin blends which have a defined average molecular weight distribution. Additionally each polymeric component of the blend has a polydispersity of from about 1.01 to about 2.50, The average functionality of the blend is from about 1.8 to about 4.0. More particularly, the present invention relates to poly(meth)acrylates having three or more functional groups. These highly functionalized resin blends are desirably prepared using controlled free radical polymerization techniques, such as single electron transfer living radical polymerization (SET-LRP) processes to produce a variety of blended resin systems which have tailored and enhanced properties.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel amine terminated cycloaliphatic polysiloxanes, and preparations thereof. More particularly, the invention provides several reaction schemes for the synthesis of amino-functionalized cyclo-aliphatic silicones and the products produced by the reaction schemes. In one embodiment of the invention, an amine functionalized silicone is prepared through a base-catalyzed ring-opening reaction. In another embodiment of the invention, an amine functionalized silicone is prepared through the hydrosilation of a silicone oligomer through the blocking and deblocking of an amine terminated in a vinyl group.
