Abstract: A method of making an adhesive article includes providing a liner having first and second silicone release layer disposed on opposite sides thereof, applying the onium salt photoacid generator onto at least a portion of the first silicone release layer to provide a modified silicone release layer, disposing an adhesive layer onto the second silicone release layer, and and exposing at least the adhesive layer to electron beam radiation within a process chamber thereby providing a crosslinked adhesive layer, wherein the process chamber contains oxygen, wherein the modified silicone release layer is exposed to the oxygen during crosslinking of the adhesive layer. The first silicone release layer does not contain an onium salt photoacid generator. An adhesive article made by the method is also disclosed.

Abstract: A hydrofluoroether compound represented by the following general formula:

Abstract: Described are compounds of the formula: wherein RAryl is an aryl group; R1 is a linear or branched C2-C40 hydrocarbyl group; R2 is a C1-C4 alkyl; Rf is a perfluorinated group of having an average of 3 to 5 carbon atoms; and subscript x is 1 to 3.

Abstract: A method of making an adhesive article comprises three steps. First, the method includes providing a liner having first and second opposed major surfaces with respective first and second silicone release layers disposed thereon. The second silicone release layer comprises a partially cured hydrosilation-crosslinkable silicone mixture comprises a first silicone polymer having at least three Si—H groups and second silicone polymer have at least two vinyl, and has an extractables content of 5 to 25 weight percent. Second, an adhesive layer is disposed onto the first silicone release layer. Third, the adhesive layer is exposed to E-beam radiation within a process chamber thereby providing a crosslinked adhesive layer. The second silicone release layer is exposed to oxygen during crosslinking of the adhesive layer. Adhesive articles made according to the method also disclosed.

Abstract: One aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of aryl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding aryl fluorides. Another aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of heteroaryl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding heteroaryl fluorides. Another aspect of the invention relates to a metal-catalyzed conversion of vinyl halides and sulfonates to the corresponding vinyl fluorides. In certain embodiments, simple fluoride sources, such as AgF and CsF, are used. In certain embodiments, the transformations tolerate a wide range of functional groups, allowing for introduction of fluorine atoms into highly functionalized organic molecules.
