Abstract:
Provided is a laminate sheet with which degradation of the appearance after its application can be highly prevented while maintaining good adhesive properties. The laminate sheet provided by this invention is a long laminate sheet having an adhesive surface. The laminate sheet comprises a PSA layer forming the adhesive surface and an air-impermeable substrate sheet supporting the PSA layer. The substrate sheet surface is partially provided with the PSA layer, whereby the substrate sheet surface has a PSA-bearing area and a PSA-free area. The PSA-free area includes at least a strip-shaped area. The strip-shaped area runs at angles intersecting the width-direction edges of the laminate sheet.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to nanoparticle compositions and, in particular, to composite polymeric nanoparticle compositions. A composite nanoparticle described herein comprises a photoluminescent polymeric component and a photo-thermal polymeric component. The photoluminescent polymeric component and the photo-thermal polymeric component can each comprise a single polymeric species or multiple polymeric species.
Abstract:
Disclosed is an assembly for discharging hydrated super absorbent polymer into a confined space for protection of a lineman or firefighter from a flash fire and fire suppression. A pressurized tank is filled with hydrated super absorbent polymer and connected to a conduit that is constructed and arranged to interchange various nozzles for personnel protection and fire suppression. The hydrated super absorbent polymer is discharged through a solenoid valve which can be operated by the individual operating within the space with a switch, an individual operating the control panel mounted in a utility truck or activated by a heat sensor in the confined space.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method to reduce or prevent agglomeration of rubber particles in aqueous media by LCST compounds and elastomers obtained thereby. The invention further relates to elastomer products comprising the same or derived therefrom.
Abstract:
A polymerizable emulsion compositions comprising an oil phase having a (meth)acrylate copolymer, a plasticizer, a non-reactive (meth)acrylate copolymeric stabilizer; and a continuous aqueous phase comprising a buffer, non-polymerizable surfactant; and an oil- or water soluble initiator is described.
Abstract:
Provided is an aqueous composition comprising dispersed particles that comprise a polyurethane, wherein said polyurethane is a reaction product of a group of reactants (GR1), wherein GR1 comprises one or more aromatic polyisocyanates and, a polyol component, wherein said polyol component comprises (a) 50% to 99% by weight, based on the weight of said polyol component, one or more polyester polyols, (b) 0.1% to 10% by weight, based on the weight of said polyol component, one or more diols having a hydrophilic side chain, and (c) 0.9% to 40% by weight, based on the weight of said polyol component, one or more polyols different from (a) and (b). Also provided is a method of bonding a metal foil to a polymer film using such an aqueous composition.
Abstract:

Abstract:
A method of suppressing dust formation in a particulate mineral material, which particulate mineral material has been dewatered from a suspension of said material, comprising the steps of transferring the suspension of particulate mineral material as a fluid to a deposition area, and in which the suspension is allowed to stand and dewater at the deposition area to form a dewatered particulate mineral material, wherein suppression dust formation of the material is achieved by adding a dust suppressing amount of a polymer to the suspension of the particulate mineral material while it is being transferred as a fluid to the deposition area, wherein the polymer is either a synthetic water-soluble polymer formed from one or more ethylenically unsaturated monomers having an intrinsic viscosity of at least 4 dl/g or a water-soluble polymer that is a natural polymer or semi natural polymer.
