Abstract: A coating composition having a measured solids content of at least 95% according to test method ASTM D2369 is disclosed. The composition includes a mixture of (a) a polymer prepared from one or more functional monomers having a (meth)acrylic monomer, an allyl monomer, or combinations thereof each having an ethylenically unsaturated double bond and an additional reactive functional group, and (b) a reactive diluent. At least some of the additional reactive functional group of the functional monomer remains unreacted during formation of the polymer. The reactive diluent has at least one ethylenically unsaturated functional group, no additional functionality, and a boiling point of greater than 100° C. The ethylenically unsaturated functional group of the reactive diluent and the additional reactive functional group remaining within the polymer do not react. Also disclosed are coatings formed from the cured coating composition and methods for providing sound and vibration damping through a substrate.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to methods of separating a fluid emulsion stream into a hydrocarbon stream and an aqueous stream, by contacting the stream with a microporous membrane to yield a hydrocarbon product stream and an aqueous product stream. The membrane comprises a substantially hydrophobic, polymeric matrix, and substantially hydrophilic, finely divided, particulate, substantially water-insoluble filler distributed throughout the matrix. The polymeric matrix has a mean pore size less than 1.0 micron, and the purities of the product streams are independent of the flux rate of the aqueous product stream and the pore size of the membrane.
