Abstract: Disclosed herein a process for the preparation of reactive solution of polymerizable polymers comprising polymerizable reactive functionality and wherein one approach discloses a polymerizable polymer comprising a (i) N-vinyl amide monomer; (ii) dual functional monomer; and (iii) polymerizable monomelic solvent. An additional approach reveals about polymerizable polymer comprising (i) a base polymer made from N-vinyl amide monomer and a co-monomer with the proviso for grafting; (ii) graft functional monomer; and (iii) a polymerizable monomelic solvent to enable a medium for polymerization. Also, discloses about the compositions comprising reactive solution of polymerizable polymer and its various possible applications.

Abstract: What is described herein is a clear white-appearance, water-resistant, color ink-receptive film having a copolymer of (a) vinyl caprolactam and (b) dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide coated thereon; preferably the weight ratio of (a):(b) is 50-95:50-5; optimally about 80:20. The ink-receptive film of the invention is capable of being printed from a color inkjet printer to form color images thereon which exhibit excellent long-term color stability towards light. These advantageous results are achieved herein while retaining the desired properties of rapid ink dry time, good print quality, highly resolved circular dots, and high, uniform optical density, characteristic of other systems.

Abstract: Radiation polymerizable vinylether-based compositions, and cured vinylether-based formulations having a predetermined balance of tack, peel and shear particularly suitable for use in pressure sensitive adhesives are described.
