Abstract:
A process of making a homopolymer of vinyl caprolactam (VCL), and a copolymer with dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide (DMAPMA), optionally including with one or more polymerizable monomers (X), in the composition range, by weight, VCL 99 to 30%, DMAPMA 1-70% and monomer X 0-30%, respectively, by suspension polymerization in an aqueous/alcoholic solvent medium, without requiring a protective colloid, which comprises charging vinyl caprolactam in an aqueous/alcoholic solvent mixture, wherein the weight ratio of alcohol to total monomers is ⅙ to 3, and if present, forming a solution of DMAPMA and optional monomers in water, feeding the solution into the VCL charge at a predetermined rate, periodically adding initiator to the reaction mixture, and polymerizing at about 40° to 130° C., and, if desired, neutralizing the product, to form a polymer product at about 5% to 40% solids, homogeneously dispersed in the solvent.
Abstract:
What is described herein is a clear white-appearance, water-resistant, color ink-receptive film having a copolymer of (a) vinyl caprolactam and (b) dimethylaminopropyl methacrylamide coated thereon; preferably the weight ratio of (a):(b) is 50-95:50-5; optimally about 80:20. The ink-receptive film of the invention is capable of being printed from a color inkjet printer to form color images thereon which exhibit excellent long-term color stability towards light. These advantageous results are achieved herein while retaining the desired properties of rapid ink dry time, good print quality, highly resolved circular dots, and high, uniform optical density, characteristic of other systems.
Abstract:
A radiation curable release coating composition comprising, by weight, (a) 10-90% of an acrylate-functional silicone resin, (b) 10-90% of a vinylether monomer as reactive diluent therein, and (c) a photoinitiator.
Abstract:
A stable, aqueous polymeric composition which forms a clear to translucent film upon application to a substrate includes, by weight, 5 - 75 % of (a) a water-soluble polymer having (b) in situ-formed, substantially water-insoluble resinous particles of said polymer substantially uniformly dispersed therein, and (c) 25 - 95 % of water.
