US Classification:

359 49, 359456, 359457, 359459, 359580, 359742, 428 11, 428 16, 428 30, 428 644, 428195, 428206, 522 81, 522 83, 522 77

Abstract:

Blends of oligomeric urethane multi(meth)acrylate; optionally at least one other monomer selected from the group consisting of acrylic monomers, styrenic monomers and ethylenically unsaturated nitrogen heterocycles, preferably a polyol multi(meth)acrylate; and nanoparticles of an ethylenically unsaturated, preferably (meth)acrylic-functionalized, titanium or zirconium compound can be cured by ultraviolet radiation in contact with a photoinitiator to produce optical resinous articles having high refractive indices, haze ratings of at most 5% and other properties which may be tailored according to the desired use.

International Classification:

B32B001/00

US Classification:

428/141000

Abstract:

Blends of monofunctional and multifunctional (meth)acrylate monomers, optionally in addition to oligomeric multifunctional (meth)acrylates), can be cured by ultraviolet radiation in contact with a photoinitiator to produce optical resinous articles having a glass transition temperature of at least 35 C. and having physical properties making them suitable for use as microstructure-bearing articles.

Appl. No.:

10/640707

James Resue - Scotia NY, US

International Classification:

G03H001/00

US Classification:

359003000, 359001000

Abstract:

Holographic storage media comprise two substrates and a core between them, the core comprising thermoplastic photopolymer and a titanium or zirconium compound as a high refractive index material. During photopatterning of the storage medium precursor, the titanium or zirconium compound migrates toward the patterned region or the matrix region surrounding it, causing a refractive index difference which provides optimum holographic properties.

International Classification:

C08F 120/10

US Classification:

525330300

Abstract:

Disclosed is a brightness enhancing film composition comprising a multifunctional (meth)acrylate, a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl (meth)acrylate monomer, an arylether (meth)acrylate and an optional polymerization initiator. The composition was found to efficiently cure under typical conditions employed for the rapid, continuous production of cured, coated films. Such cured compositions exhibit excellent relative degree of cure under a variety of processing conditions. Disclosed also are articles comprising the brightness enhancing film composition comprising a multifunctional (meth)acrylate, a substituted or unsubstituted naphthyl (meth)acrylate monomer, an arylether (meth)acrylate and an optional polymerization initiator. The article may be a multilayer article comprising a substrate.
