Abstract:
The present invention relates to a polymer nanocomposite and the process for preparation of the same, wherein a positive-electric polyelectrolyte, a layer-structured inorganic material, such as silicate clay, and a polymer latex comprising an negative-electric surface are “co-agglutinated” to result in a polymer nanocomposite.
Abstract:
Composite particles are provided comprising at least one core including at least one organic polymer in which is dispersed at least one hydrophobic active material. The hydrophobic active material is a cosmetic, pharmaceutical, food or plant-protection material. The composite particles also include one external coating including at least one oxide and/or hydroxide of aluminum, of silicon, of zirconium and/or of a transition metal and one intermediate layer, present at least partially between the core and the external coating and including at least one alkaline earth metal hydroxide.
Abstract:
Dispersed powders are disclosed that comprise fine nanoscale powders dispersed on coarser carrier powders. The composition of the dispersed fine powders may be oxides, carbides, nitrides, borides, chalcogenides, metals, and alloys. Fine powders discussed are of sizes less than 100 microns, preferably less than 10 micron, more preferably less than 1 micron, and most preferably less than 100 nanometers. Methods for producing such powders in high volume, low-cost, and reproducible quality are also outlined. Such powders are useful in various applications such as catalysts, sensor, electronic, electrical, photonic, thermal, biomedical, piezo, magnetic, catalytic and electrochemical products.
Abstract:
A polyimide film of 20 to 125 &mgr;m thick composed of aromatic polyimide prepared from an aromatic tetracarboxylic acid component (composed mainly of 3,4,3′,4′-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid or its derivative) and an aromatic diamine component (composed mainly of p-phenyl-enediamine) and containing a micro-granular filler of metal atom-containing inorganic material, can be so denatured on its surfaces that an amount of the metal atom and a ratio of oxygen/carbon would increase by 0.03 to 1.0 atomic % and 0.01 to 0.20, respectively, on the processed surfaces, upon running in a gaseous mixture of argon and hydrogen between a plurality of activated plasma discharge electrodes arranged in a double line under such condition that the running polyimide film is free from contact with the electrodes.

Abstract:
The invention provides a tea fiber/PHBV/PBAT ternary composite and its preparation method and application. Comprising the components in parts by weight, the composite contains 30-80 parts of a blending polymer of poly(butyleneadipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV), 20-70 parts of tea powder, 1-19 parts of a plasticizer, 0.6-6 parts of an interface modifier, 3.3-10 parts of an auxiliary packing and 0.7-2 parts of a nucleating agent. The composite is environmental-friendly and cost-effective, exhibiting excellent mechanical properties such as hardness, compressive strength, and ductility. It can be used to manufacture environmental-friendly cups, tableware, compost bags, trash bags, shopping bags, electronic packaging bags, mulch films, 3D printing materials, foaming materials, and other plastic products.
