Abstract: Polymers containing triarylsilyl(meth)acryloyl units are erodible in seawater and can be used to formulate antifouling marine paints. The polymers are characterized by low levels of triarylsilyl(meth) acrylate units and an erosion rate in seawater of 2 to about 15 microns per month.

Abstract: An MEA preparation method involves low temperature plasma deposition of catalysts such as platinum onto a substrate to form a proton-conducting cation-exchange membrane. The substrate may be a solid polymer electrolyte membrane, or may include carbon cloth or carbon particles. The deposition is carried out at atmospheric pressure without the addition of noble gases to the reactant carrier.

Abstract: Copolymers of at least three monomer units selected from the group consisting of fluorinated acrylic (methacrylic) monomers, triorganosilylacrylic (e.g. trimethylsilyl methacrylate) monomers and acrylic monomers not containing an organosilyl moiety, (e.g. methyl methacrylate) and optionally containing from 0-5 weight percent of a cross-linking agent are novel compositions useful as polymeric binders in long life marine antifoulant coatings.

Abstract: Active Rhodium catalyst and impurities are separated from a hydroformylation process stream containing both active and inactive organo-rhodium catalyst by binding active catalyst and impurities to an acidic ion exchange resin containing an acidic group. The purified hydroformylation stream can be returned to the hydroformylation reactor. All or a portion of inactive rhodium can be reactivated before recycling purified hydroformylation process stream to the reactor. During regeneration of the resin, a neutral solvent is used first to remove impurities which are discarded, then an acidic solvent is used to remove active organic rhodium catalyst from the resin. Such active catalyst can be rehydrided and returned to the hydroformylation reactor. An ion exchange resin having at least one acid group disposed on a silica backbone and an active organo-rhodium complex from a hydroformylation process stream bound to the resin can be produced.
