Abstract:
The present disclosure provides embodiments of polymeric particles, aqueous coating compositions, coating compositions, processes of making polymeric particles hydrophobic coatings, processes for making hydrophobic synthetic latex compositions, processes of forming polymeric particle agglomerates for use in a hydrophobic coating, and process of making hydrophobic polymeric binders. In some embodiments, the polymeric particle includes a polymer having an elastic modulus greater than about 108 Pascal (Pa), measured at 25 degrees Celsius (°C) and at a deformation frequency of 1 radian per second, where the polymeric particle is hydrophobic, and where the hydrophobicity is achieved by polymerizing a monomer in a mixture comprising water and a fatty acid, or salt thereof, where the monomer contains less than about 3 parts acid monomer per 100 parts dry monomer.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an article including at least the following components: (a) a substrate formed from a composition containing at least one ceramic component or at least one natural stone component; and (b) a polymer layer formed from a composition containing at least one functionalised olefin polymer, in which the polymer layer is formed on a surface of the substrate.
Abstract:
A process for laminating a substrate, where the process may include: disposing at least one a thermoplastic film (15) on a porous substrate (15),- heat softening the at least one thermoplastic film (15); conjoining the at least one thermoplastic film (15) and the porous substrate (15) to form a laminated substrate; and cooling the laminated substrate,- wherein the conjoining comprises suctioning the thermoplastic film (15) into the porous substrate (15). An apparatus for laminating a substrate, where the apparatus may include: a system for disposing a thermoplastic film on a tufted substrate; a heater for heat softening the thermoplastic film; and a vacuum for suctioning the thermoplastic film into the tufted substrate.
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.
