  • Publication number: 20260062527
    Abstract: Provided herein are materials for forming an oxygen barrier coating for a stretchable flexible film that exhibits high stretchability and excellent oxygen barrier properties. The present materials are compatible with biaxial stretching (e.g., to ten times the original area), and retain clarity and oxygen barrier functionality following stretch. Also disclosed are coated films that include the inventive oxygen barrier coatings, as well as packaging materials and articles comprising the coated films.

  • Publication number: 20220411634
    Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a radiation curable composition comprising a (meth)acrylate functionalized polysiloxane polymer. In some embodiments the composition further comprises one or more of a crosslinker, fumed silica, a functionalized silsesquioxane, and/or an acrylate monomer. The composition can be used as a component of an adhesive, sealant or coating. In some embodiments the composition can be used as a curable resin for additive manufacturing. The compositions are low viscosity liquids at room temperature and resist compression set.

  • Publication number: 20220306864
    Abstract: The present invention provides moisture curable network silicone polymers and compositions thereof, having improved resistance to automotive oil at high temperature. The network silicone polymers contain terminal moisture curable functional groups and a partially crosslinking structure that contains C—C—C linkage which separates the siloxane backbone from the moisture curable functional groups and prevent thermal decomposition of siloxane backbone.
