Abstract: The components and methods disclosed herein are directed to positive type photosensitive resin compositions, which are comprised of an alkynyl containing polymer, a benzophenone type DNQ, and solvents. The alkynyl containing polymer is prepared by the condensation reaction of alkynyl containing dianhydrides and hydroxyl containing diamines, and alkynyl containing end cappers. The advantage of this formulation is that the resulting photosensitive resin composition is comprised of only a polymer, a benzophenone type DNQ PAC, and solvents that generates high resolution patterned films with good thermal and physical properties without using additional additives. This composition also enables film curing at relatively low temperatures without additional additives, simplifying the composition. After curing, the alkynyl units in the polymer chain and the chain ends give the cured film excellent solvent resistance and film retention due to intra and/or inter-molecular crosslinking.

Abstract: Particular embodiments may remove a condition check in the semantics for checking a high-precision data flag. This simplifies the semantics used in the encoding and decoding process. In this case, even if the high-precision data flag is not set, the value of the weighted prediction syntax element is set by the BitDepth variable. However, even if the BitDepth is not considered high-precision data, such as 8 bits, the range for the weighted prediction syntax element is still the same as the fixed value. For example, the syntax elements luma_offset_l0[i], luma_offset_l1[i], delta_chroma_offset_l0[i][j], and delta_chroma_offset_l1[i][j] use the variable BitDepth as described above whether the flag extended_precision_processing_flag is enabled and not enabled to indicate whether the bit depth is above a threshold.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a hyperbranched polycaprolactone-polylactic acid copolymer (PCL-PLA), preparation method and solid electrolyte application thereof, and belongs to the technical field of polymer synthesis. The copolymer is prepared as follows: an intermediate of dihydroxymethyl propionamido-terminated polylactic acid (PLA-DMPA) is synthesized with amino-terminated polylactic acid (PLA) and 2,2-dihydroxymethylpropionic acid as starting materials, and then the PLA-DMPA is subjected to polymerization with ?-caprolactone.
