Abstract:
A high performance laminating, coverlay, and bond ply adhesive which includes a high molecular weight acid terminated thermoplastic polyamide resin, an epoxy, and a high molecular weight polyester component which can be heat cured with silane and aziridine curatives to form an extremely high temperature resistant, flexible, and high bond strength adhesive is disclosed. The adhesive can be used to enhance the characteristics of polyester and polyethylene naphthalate films for use in flexible and rigid board circuitry applications as well as being an excellent adhesive for films such as polyimide for the same applications thus allowing the films to be used at temperature which are capable of withstanding high temperatures. Along with being useful as laminating adhesive, the system is stable at room temperature and thus can be stored as a free film bond ply adhesive or coated on a film for future conversion into laminate or coverlaying of electronic circuitry.
Abstract:
An improved process for preparing free flowing tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) polymer powders is dislcosed in which a TFE polymer powder is (1) wetted with an aqueous solution containing a wetting agent selected from the group consisting of (a) ethylene glycol ethers, (b) propylene glycol ethers and (c) diols or triols, (2) agglomerated and (3) dried.
Abstract:
This invention relates to novel polymeric compounds, more particularly to novel block or graft copolymers which are useful in dispersing inorganic pigments, lakes and/or toners in organic medium, to methods for preparing such copolymers, and to surfactant compositions containing such polymers. The block or graft copolymers of the invention belong to the class in which one type of polymeric component is derived from an oil-soluble complex monocarboxylic acid and another component which is the residue of an alkyl glycol and/or a polyoxyalkylene compounds.
Abstract:
Microcapsules containing a substantially water-insoluble liquid material, such as an anilide herbicide, and optionally also a herbicide antidote, within a porous shell to effect a slow rate of release of said herbicide (and optionally said antidote) through said shell, are produced by a process which comprises (a) providing an organic solution comprising said material and an etherified amino resin prepolymer dissolved therein which from about 50 % to about 98 % of the methylol groups of said prepolymer have been etherified with a C4-C10 alcohol; (b) creating an emulsion of said organic solution in a continuous phase aqueous solution comprising water and a surface-active agent, wherein said emulsion comprises discrete droplets of said organic solution, there being formed thereby an interface between the discrete droplets of organic solution and the surrounding continuous phase aqueous solution; and (c) causing in situ self-condensation and curing of said amino resin prepolymer in the organic phase of said discrete droplets adjacent to said interface by simultaneously heating said emulsion to a temperature between about 20 DEG C to about 100 DEG C, and adding to said emulsion an acidifying agent and maintaining said emulsion at a pH of between about 0 to about 4 for a sufficient period of time to allow substantial completion of in situ condensation of said resin prepolymers to convert the liquid droplets of said organic solution to capsules consisting of solid permeable polymer shells enclosing said liquid material. Also disclosed are the microcapsules formed by the above-described process.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A biodegenerable plastics composition comprises at least one synthetic polymer selected from the class consisting of polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene and an ethylene copolymer, blended with 10 to 90 % w/w on said composition of a biodegradable material at least 20 % w/w of which is microbiologically produced copolymer containing 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate to the extent preferably of 3-25 mol %.
Abstract:
The process of the present invention provides 3-carboalkoxypyrrolidones by the cyclization of a malonate, followed by reduction with hydrogen in the presence of a noble metal catalyst. The products are useful as intermediates for pesticides.
Abstract:
A process for production of an alkylthiobenzoate comprising reacting a cyclohexenone having formula (I), in which R1 is C1-C6 alkyl; X is alkyl or unsubstituted alkyl; and Y is hydrogen, halogen or alkyl, with a mercaptan having the formula R2SH in which R2 is C1-C4 alkyl, preferably in the presence of an acid catalyst, to form a cyclohexadiene thioether, and dehydrogenating the thiother to produce a thioalkylbenzoate. The thioalkylbenzoate may be further converted by oxidation and/or hydrolysis to a corresponding thioalkyl, alkylsulfinyl or alkylsulfonyl benzoic acid.
