Abstract: A method of preparing a composition for a one-package (1 K) waterborne non isocyanate polyurethane epoxy hybrid coating includes providing a cyclic carbonate; combining the cyclic carbonate with an internal emulsifier and a diamine to thereby obtain a non-isocyanate polyurethane (NIPU) prepolymer; subjecting the NIPU prepolymer to chain extension by combining the NIPU prepolymer with an epoxy resin, to thereby obtain a chain extended NIPU polymer; subjecting the chain extended NIPU polymer to neutralization by combining the chain extended NIPU polymer with a neutralizing agent, to thereby obtain a neutralized NIPU polymer; and dispersing the neutralized NIPU polymer in water to thereby provide a waterborne NIPU liquid dispersion.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a bio-based polyol comprising a thiol-epoxy reaction product of an epoxidized nut or seed oil derivative, and a thiol-containing reactant. The bio-based polyol of the present invention can then be combined with a diisocyanate or a polymeric isocyanate to create a polyurethane material.

Abstract: A coating composition comprising at least one alkyd resin and at least one reactive diluent selected from modified cardanol. Optionally, the coating composition may further include at least one dryer agent, at least one pigment, and at least one solvent. The use of a modified cardanol reactive diluent can reduce the amount of volatile organic solvent, while decreasing drying time, increasing adhesion, and improving corrosion resistance.

Abstract: A stimuli-responsive color-changing functional coating is prepared from the following raw materials: an epoxy resin, a furanone pigment, an amine curing agent, and a solvent. The furanone pigment is an organic conjugated conductive molecule. The amine curing agent reacts with the furanone pigment to form a cross-linked molecule containing a hydrogen bond that can exhibit excellent electron transition behaviors. Moreover, as the cross-linked molecule is unstable, it may give rise to electron transitions with different properties under different stimulus conditions, imparting a color-changing property to the coating that allows the coating to have different colors in response to different environmental stimuli. Experimental results show that the stimuli-responsive color-changing functional coating in the present invention has thermochromic, ultraviolet-photochromic and strongly acidochromic properties, and is responsive to diverse color-changing stimulus conditions with a wide color-changing range.

Abstract: Disclosed are a remote calling method and terminal, wherein the method includes: a service end registering released services to a register center; a client end sending a service subscription request to the register center; the register center receiving the service subscription request, and pushing a corresponding service to the client end in real time when finding that the corresponding service exists; after receiving the service pushed by the register center, the client end automatically adapting to a corresponding protocol, establishing a connection with the service end, and calling a corresponding service.

Abstract: The present invention relates to the application of 5-methyl-1,3-benzenediol or its derivatives represented by Formula I; wherein the constituent variables are as defined herein or pharmaceutical compositions thereof containing them in the preparation of medicines or functional foods. The present studies indicate that 5-methyl-1,3-benzenediol or its derivatives represented by Formula I, wherein the constituent variables are as defined herein or pharmaceutical compositions thereof containing them show more significant antidepressant effects than fluoxetine or imipramine.
