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:
A process is described for determining elastic modulus, plastic yield strain, and viscosity of a material, and the work of adhesion between the material and an indenter tip, using Atomic Force Microscopy-based or conventional nanoindentation. Specifically, the process includes a measurement method whereby a sequence of load-unload quasistatic indentations are performed in the vicinity of each chosen point on a sample. The loading- unloading curves are analyzed using a specific modeling algorithm to calculate multiple mechanical properties of the sample.

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:
In one aspect the invention provides a melt process for preparing a functional ized olefin multibiock interpohmer. said process comprising grafting onto the backbone of the olefin multibiock inferpohmer at least one compound comprising at least one "amine-reactive" group to form a grafted olefin multibiock interpolymer. and reacting a primary-secondary diamine or an alkanolamine with the grafted olefin multibiock interpolymer, without the isolation of the grafted olefin multibiock interpolymer.
Abstract:
The invention provides a composition comprising at least one olefin multi-block interpolymer; at least one functionalized olefin-based polymer; and optionally at least one thermoplastic polyurethane. The invention also provides for articles prepared from the inventive compositions and for methods for making the same.
Abstract:
A tablet, pill or capsule containing a material which produces sound waves when the tablet, pill or capsule is exposed to the gastrointestinal system. A two step method for oral drug compliance monitoring. The first step is to ingest a tablet, pill or capsule containing a material which produces sound waves when the tablet, pill or capsule is exposed to the gastrointestinal system of a person. The second step is to detect the sound waves produced when the tablet, pill or capsule is exposed to the gastrointestinal system to confirm that the person has ingested the tablet, pill or capsule.
