Abstract:
The invention provides polyolefin blend compositions of polar and/or non-polar polymers, with at least one functionalized polyolefin polymer selected from the group consisting of: amine functionalized, hydroxyl functionalized, imide functionalized, anhydride functionalized, or carboxylic acid functionalized polyolefin polymers. The invention also provides methods for making the functionalized polyolefin polymer. The invention also provides for materials and articles containing at least one component prepared from such compositions.
Abstract:
The present invention is an article of construction formed from an article adhesively-bonded to a layering material through (a) reactive coupling of a functionalized nitroxide or (b) the adhesion of components in a polymer matrix made from or containing a polymer, an organic peroxide, and a functionalized nitroxide. The initial article may be expanded. It may also be polar or nonpolar. Similarly, the layering material may be polar or nonpolar. Other embodiments of the present invention are described, including other articles and methods for preparing the articles. The useful articles of the present invention include shoe outsoles and midsoles, paints, overmolded articles, weather stripping, gaskets, profiles, belts, hoses, tubes, durable goods, tires, construction panels, leisure and sports equipment foams, energy management foams, acoustic management foams, insulation foams, other foams, automotive parts (including bumper fascias, vertical panels, soft thermoplastic polyolefin skins, and interior trim), toys, supported films (including single-ply and co-extruded films), glass laminations, leather articles (synthetic and natural), personal health care and hygiene articles, other metal laminates, wood composites, automotive belts, hoses, tubes, conveyor belts, footwear, sporting goods, and filled articles.
Abstract:
A curable epoxy resin composition including (a) a thermosettable epoxy resin; and (b) an amphiphilic block copolymer containing at least one epoxy resin miscible block segment and at least one epoxy resin immiscible block segment; wherein the immiscible block segment comprises at least one polyether structure provided that the polyether structure of said immiscible block segment contains at least one or more alkylene oxide monomer units having at least four carbon atoms, such that when the epoxy resin composition is cured, the toughness of the resulting cured epoxy resin composition is increased. The amphiphilic block copolymer is preferably an all polyether block copolymer such as a PEO-PBO diblock copolymer or a PEO-PBO-PEO triblock copolymer.
Abstract:

Abstract:
Un sobre de ventanas que tiene una o más aberturas de ventanas, estando al menos una abertura de ventana cerrada o sellada por un parche para ventanas no opaco, polimérico o de plástico, comprendiendo el parche para ventanas una película polimérica orientada biaxialmente, legible por escáner óptico, teniendo la película un brillo a 45º que es inferior o igual a 50 y comprendiendo una composición de polímeros orgánicos seleccionada de una resina de polímero vinilaromático modificado con caucho y una mezcla de una resina de polímero vinilaromático con una resina de polímero vinilaromático modificado con caucho, teniendo la resina vinilaromática modificada con caucho un tamaño medio de partícula sin restricciones dentro de un intervalo de 0,1 micrómetro a 10 micrómetros, en donde el polímero vinilaromático modificado con caucho está presente en una cantidad suficiente para proporcionar la película con un contenido de caucho igual o superior a 2 por ciento en peso basado en el peso de la película y hasta 9 por ciento en peso basado en el peso de la película.
Abstract:
The present invention is a crosslinkable, expandable polymeric composition comprising a free-radical crosslinkable polymer, a free-radical inducing species, a crosslinking-profile modifier, and a blowing agent. Preferably, the free-radical inducing species is a low temperature free-radical inducing species.
