Abstract:
A film is described comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer and a polyvinyl acetal (e.g. butyral) resin. In some embodiments, the film has a glass transition temperature (i.e. Tg) ranging from 30° C. to 60° C. In some embodiments, the film has a gel content of at least 20% or greater. In some embodiments, the film has an elongation at break of at least 175%. The film typically comprises photoinitiator as a result of the method by which the film was made. The film may be a monolithic film or a layer of a multilayer film.

Abstract:
There is provided a composite article comprising a composite material comprising 60 wt % to 98 wt % of a hydrolytically stable thermoplastic resin; and 1 wt % to 11 wt % long conductive metal fibers coated with a polymer selected from at least one of aromatic polycarbonates, aromatic polycarbonate alloys, aromatic polyethers, maleated polyolefins, semi-aromatic nylons, stabilized nylons, and combinations thereof.
Abstract:
Antimicrobial compositions, especially those useful when applied topically to tissue, such as mucosal tissues (i.e., mucous membranes), that include an antimicrobial selected from the group consisting of peroxides, C6-C14 alkyl carboxylic acids, C6-C14 alkyl carboxylate ester carboxylic acids, C8-C22 mono- or polyunsaturated carboxylic acids, and antimicrobial natural oils. The compositions can also include an enhancer component, a surfactant, a hydrophobic component, and/or a hydrophilic component. Such compositions provide effective topical antimicrobial activity and are accordingly useful in the treatment and/or prevention of conditions that are caused, or aggravated by, microorganisms (including viruses).
Abstract:
A method of removing an unwanted constituent from a siliceous surface in which the method includes contacting the siliceous surface and the unwanted constituent with a multi-functional composition that includes water, a hydrophilic silane, and a surfactant, and drying the surface.

Abstract:
Pad conditioning brushes are described. In particular, pad conditioning brushes including a carrier layer and a plurality of abrasive particle-free brush bristles extending from the carrier layer are described. The carrier layer and the plurality of brush bristles form a unitary body. Such brushes may provide excellent performance compared to traditional conditioning disks.
Abstract:
Fiber-reinforced composite materials include a matrix of a thermoplastic polyamide resin, at least 3 weight% of at least one impact modifier, and 7-60 wt% fiber reinforcing agent of discontinuous meta-aramid fibers. The composite material is melt processable, and is impact resistant as measured by an unnotched Izod test method according to ASTM D4812 having a value of at least 12 ft-lbs/in (640 J/m). The composite materials can be used to prepare articles such as safety articles.
Abstract:
Foam compositions are provided including a polylactic acid polymer; second (e.g., polyvinyl acetate) polymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of at least 25° C.; and plasticizer. Also described are articles comprising the foam compositions, such as a sheet or hearing protection article. Methods of making and using the foam compositions are further described herein.
