Abstract: An adhesive flexible barrier film comprises a substrate and a barrier layer disposed on the substrate. The barrier layer is formed from a barrier composition comprising an organosilicon compound. The adhesive flexible barrier film also comprises an adhesive layer disposed on the barrier layer and formed from an adhesive composition. A method of forming the adhesive flexible barrier film comprises the steps of disposing the barrier composition on the substrate to form the barrier layer, disposing the adhesive composition on the barrier layer to form the adhesive layer, and curing the barrier layer and the adhesive layer. The adhesive flexible barrier film may be utilized in organic electronic devices.

Abstract: A method for producing a sized, coated ceramic fiber decreases mechanical damage to the fiber during weaving, and the sizing can be removed after weaving by heating at a low temperature.

Abstract: A fiber treated with a treating agent which is the reaction product of a polysiloxane having at least one aminofunctional group substituted on a silicon atom and having at least one hydrogen--nitrogen bond with a monoacrylate polyether. The present treated fiber has good hand, little yellowing, and improved hydrophilicity when compared to fibers treated with convention aminofunctional polyorganosiloxanes.

Abstract: Novel radiation-curable, organically-modified siloxane resin compositions are prepared from (A) at least one multifunctional acrylate and (B) the reaction product formed from (a) an alkoxy-functional organometallic compound, (b) an alkoxy silane and (c) water. The alkoxy silane (b) includes at least one functional group that renders the alkoxy silane copolymerizable with the multifunctional acrylate (A). The alkoxy-functional organometallic compound (a) and the alkoxy silane (b) undergo co-hydrolysis and co-condensation, which is optionally carried out in the presence of a siloxane polymerization catalyst (d).

Abstract: A room temperature, moisture-curable abrasion-resistant coating is formulated from (A) a multifunctional acrylate, (B) an alkoxyfunctional organometallic compound of the general formula (OR).sub.4 M, wherein M is selected from group consisting of Ti and Si and (C) a trialkoxyaminosilane. The ratio of (C) to (A) is selected such that the molar ratio of NH.sub.2 groups to functional acrylate groups is at least 10:1. The composition of the invention is said to have enhancable weatherability because the cure mechanism relies on moisture and is not adversely affected by the inclusion of substantially high quantities of UV protectants in the form of ultraviolet light absorbers and free radical scavengers.
