  • Patent number: 8569538
    Abstract: In one aspect, the invention relates to methods of synthesizing acryloyl compounds, comprising the step of hydrosilylating a compound having the structure: with a compound having the structure A-H, wherein A comprises a siloxanyl group, to yield a compound having the structure: Compounds and compositions produced thereby can effectively attain a satisfactory balance between high oxygen permeability and hydrophilicity while achieving an acceptably low concentration of undesirable impurities. This abstract is intended as a scanning tool for purposes of searching in the particular art and is not intended to be limiting of the present invention.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8299303
    Abstract: There is provided a process for producing a concentrated solution of quaternary ammonium hydroxide which is characterized in that quaternary ammonium hydroxide in a form of water-containing crystals or of an aqueous solution is mixed with a water-soluble organic solvent selected from the group consisting of glycol ether, glycol and triol and the resulting mixed solution is subjected to a thin-film distillation in vacuo so as to evaporate the low boiling material. In accordance with this process, a concentrated solution of quaternary ammonium hydroxide having low water content is able to be easily produced.
