Abstract: The present invention relates to a photosensitive polymer composition comprising the following components A, B and C:A: 100 parts by weight of ethylenically unsaturated compounds,B: 3 to 40 parts by weight of a polyamide or 3 to 32 parts by weight of a polyesteramide soluble in the ethylenically unsaturated compounds andC: 0.01 to 10 parts by weight of a photopolymerization initiator, and a solid photosensitive printing plate material comprising the above-mentioned photosensitive polymer composition and a support, which solid photosensitive printing plate material can be easily prepared from a substantially solvent-free starting material and usable for the production of a printing plate, flexible printing plate and flexographic printing plate developable with water and/or an alcohol.
Abstract: A composite substance made of conjugated polymers that contain an inorganic moiety and an organic moiety in their molecule is provided. The conjugated polymers are produced from metal alkoxides and silane coupling agents, or else from metal alkoxides, silane coupling agents, and organic monomers. The conjugated polymers may be fired to give another composite substrate of this invention. These composite substances have both inorganic and organic characteristics, thereby attaining the excellent heat-stability, mechanical strength, resistance to chemicals, and workability.
Abstract: A method is disclosed for the preparation of ceramic materials or articles by the pyrolysis of vinyl- or allyl-containing preceramic silazane polymers wherein the vinyl- or allyl-containing preceramic silazane polymers are rendered infusible prior to pyrolysis by high energy radiation such as gamma rays or an electron beam. Preceramic polymer compositions containing a vinyl- or allyl-containing silazane polymers and mercapto compounds containing at least two mercapto groups may also be rendered infusible by such high energy radiation. This method is especially suited for the preparation of ceramic fibers.
Abstract: Compositions comprising an oligomer which (a) on average comprises at least one in-chain residue of the general formula ##STR1## wherein Ar.sup.1 is an aromatic group, R.sup.1 is hydrogen or a hydrocarbyl group, X is a group which activates Ar.sup.1 to electrophilic attack, and Y.sup.1 is an organic residue bearing a carboxyl substituent; and (b) has one or more pendant and/or terminal acyloxymethyl groups are described. They may be used in dental, electronic and electrical applications.
Abstract: Prepregs which are tacky to dry to the touch can be prepared by impregnating a solid reinforcing material with a liquid, solvent-free composition containing (a) an epoxide resin, (b) a photopolymerizable compound, (c) a heat-activatable curing agent for the epoxide resin (a) and, if appropriate, a photopolymerization catalyst for the photopolymerizable compound (b), and the composition is exposed to actinic radiation. The composition solidifies thereby to give an essentially solid layer as the result of photopolymerization of the photopolymerizable compound, whereas the epoxide resin remains substantially in a heat-curable state. In accordance with the invention, a substituted or unsubstituted aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or araliphatic amine is used as the heat-activatable curing agent (c), and the photopolymerizable compound (b) is employed in such a ratio to the heat-curable component (a) that, after irradiation with actinic light, the composition can still be shaped by thermoplastic methods.

Abstract: A radiation curable adhesive composition comprising a liquid oligomer, a chain transfer agent, and an N-methyl compound can give a surface protective film which is slightly influenced in adhesive strength with the lapse of time, and excellent in weather resistance and heat resistance.
Abstract: A uranium adsorbing material made of a graft polymer with a graft ratio of 20 to 100% which contains amidoxime groups and cation exchange groups in a molar ratio of 1:1 to 20:1 and a process for preparing said material are herein disclosed.
Abstract: Novel polymeric photocleavable photoinitiators are prepared by the hydrosilation reaction of an organosilicon hydride grafting agent which has a photoinitiating aromatic-aliphatic ketone derivative of at least one organo group, with a polymer having a plurality of unsaturated olefinic or acetylenic sites in the presence of a hydrosilation catalyst. Preferred polymers are butadiene or alkyl substituted butadiene polymers and copolymers and vinyl functional polyorganosiloxanes. The grafting agents have the formula (hv)--R.sup.8 --R.sup.5 --H wherein (hv) is a photoinitiating aromatic-aliphatic ketone group, R.sup.8 is selected from alkylene, alkenylene, alkylenoxy and oxy groups, and R.sup.5 is selected from ##STR1## the R.sup.6 groups are the same or different organo or halo groups and n is an integer.
