Abstract:
A thermoplastic film is comprised of an admixture of 20 to 85 weight percent cellulose ester fibers and 80 to 15 weight percent cellulose fibers and a functional amount of a cellulose ester plasticizer. The film has an opacity in the range of 10 to 85 percent, a thickness in the range of 0.05 to 0.25 mm (0.002 to 0.010 inch), a porosity in the range of 0.0 to 50 ml/min/cm at a 1.0 centibar pressure drop and a compostability of less than 65 days fragmentation. The film is prepared by making a paper comprised of 20 to 85 weight percent cellulose ester fibers and 80 to 15 weight percent cellulose fibers and saturating the paper with a functional amount of a cellulose ester plasticizer. The saturated paper is subjected to heat and pressure for a period of time to obtain the thermoplastic film. The thermoplastic film is prepared without the use of solvents and is economically attractive since it is compatible with conventional paper printing materials and techniques.

A composition of paper comprising 99 to 10 weight percent cellulose fibers and 1 to 90 weight percent cored cellulose fibers that are uniformly dispersed within the paper. The cored cellulose fibers are composed of a cellulose sheath that is 4 to 15 weight percent of the weight of the fiber and a cellulose acetate core. The cored cellulose fibers contain no substantial crimp and have an average length of 1 to 7 mm, a density of 1.20 to 1.35 gm/cc, a denier 1 to 30 grams per 9,000 meters and a uniform dispersion index of less than 0.15.
Abstract:
A novel process has been developed for the crystallization of poly(ethylenenaphthalenedicarboxylate) (PEN) and its copolymers. The process comprises the step of maintaining the amount of water in said poly(ethylenenaphthalenedicarboxylate) below a critical moisture content ceiling throughout processing such that a separate drying step is not required.
Abstract:
This invention relates to a method for manufacturing laminated decorative plates which do not exhibit bleed through. The method involves laminating at least one side of a veneer with an extruded amorphous or semi-crystalline copolyester film under thermocompression or radio frequency energy at a temperature that does not exceed 75 % of the melting point of the copolyester film. The veneer is bonded to core material using the copolyester film which has a melting point of at least 147.4 DEG C (300 DEG F) and is prepared from terephthalic acid and a diol component containing repeat units from 30 to 50 mole percent diethylene glycol and 70 to 50 mole percent ethylene glycol.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for producing non-blocking slats of normally tacky amorphous propylene copolymers. The process entails coextrudiing the normally tacky amorphous propylene copolymer with a low viscosity polyolefin such as a polyethylene wax forming a core of amorphous propylene copolymer covered with a sheath of polyethylene wax. The coextruded article is cooled, cut (while exposing less than 40 percent of the core) and then coated with a non-tacky powder; thereby, forming non-blocking slats. Disclosed is also a novel amorphous propylene copolymer composition containing no more than 90 weight percent propylene and up to 70 weight percent of an alpha olefin comonomer having a needle penetration greater than 70 to less than 100 dmm at 23 DEG C and a Brookfield Thermosel Viscosity below 1000 cP at 190 DEG C.
Abstract:
Provided are allyl-functional polymers having pendant enamine moieties and preferably also possessing pendant methacrylate groups. The presence of such groups in the polymer allows for a free-radical crosslinking reaction to take place during film formation and provides coatings having superior solvent resistance. Amino-containing waterborne particles can be prepared by reacting propylene imine with carboxylic acid-containing latexes. The amino-functionalized latexes are subsequently reacted at room temperature with for example acetoacetoxyethyl methacrylate. During ambient and thermal cure studies, clear films exhibited significant increases in solvent resistance, gel fraction, and crosslink density.
Abstract:
Disclosed is a process for improving the rate of solid state polymerization of ethylene terephthalate polymers or copolymers comprising copolymerizing terephthalic acid or dimethyl terephthalate and ethylene glycol with 2-10 mol % diethylene glycol and 0.1-10 mol % cyclohexanedimethanol to form a prepolymer, forming solid particles from the prepolymer, and solid state polymerizing the particles at a temperature between the glass transition temperature and melting point of the particles until a predetermined I.V. is reached.
