Abstract:
Curable epoxy resin compositions, preferably solvent-free, wherein a fluorene amine curative is partially melt dissolved and partially dispersed as a solid in at least one aromatic polyepoxide. The compositions provide prepregs which exhibit tack with surprisingly good shelf life properties. Cured composites comprising the prepregs are also provided. The cured composites exhibit little resin migration and glass transition temperatures that are comparable to those of cured neat resins.
Abstract:
A process is described for stabilizing the melt flow rate and melt tension of ethylene-carbon monoxide interpolymers with a hindered phenol antioxidant. The antioxidant is melt blended with the polymer before it is exposed to air.
Abstract:
A method for separating oleaginous material from an aqueous medium is provided. An oil-containing aqueous medium is contacted with an oil-sorbing matrix prepared by subjecting a feedstock to conditions which alter its physical and chemical structure to provide a hydrophobic oil hog. The feedstock includes a hydrophobic matrix having oleaginous-imbibition capability in an oil-hog-altered physical state.
Abstract:
Highly concentrated carbon black-thermoplastic synthetic resin concentrates are prepared by adding the carbon black to the synthetic resin in at least two places in series employing a conveying apparatus which is a continuously operating screw kneader.
Abstract:
Process and apparatus for the uniform mixing of a polyamide melt with a pigment dispersed in a liquid medium soluble in the polyamide wherein the melt is divided, immediately after introduction of the liquid pigment dispersion as a thin liquid stream, into planar segments or displaced layers having a maximum thickness of about 1,500 microns, preferably 20 to 850 microns, using a paddle wheel stirring mechanism at the inlet end of an elongated mixing vessel tapering radially inwardly down to its outlet or discharge end. This invention generally relates to a process for continuously mixing a pigment dispersion into a high molecular weight organic polymer which is in the molten state, for example nylon 6 (polycaprolactam), nylon 6,6 (polyhexamethylene adipamide) or other polyamides, particularly at the conclusion of a continuous polymerization or polycondensation process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to method of producing metalpolymer compositions. The method of the invention is characterized in that a polymer medium which contains a metal component in the form of ferromagnetic particles or a mixture thereof with nonferromagnetic metal particles is affected by a travelling rotating electromagnetic field. From the metal-polymer compositions thus produced various articles can be manufactured, featuring high mechanical characteristics.
Abstract:
A biodegradable and/or compostable device is formed of a plant-based biopolymer in a range of 50 to 80% by volume and a polylactic acid (PLA) in a range of 10 to 30% by volume.
Abstract:
An asphalt binder composition includes a base asphalt binder, low-density polyethylene (LDPE), and sulfur. The LDPE includes LDPE 70. The base asphalt binder is blended with the LDPE and the sulfur.
Abstract:
The invention provides a method for enhancing adhesion strength to an adhesive without any loss of mechanical strength of a resin molded article. In particular, the invention provides a method for enhancing adhesion strength of a resin molded article made of a resin composition including a liquid crystal polymer resin and an inorganic filling agent, to an adhesive, in which an amorphous resin is further compounded into the resin composition, and an amount of compounding of the liquid crystal polymer resin, an amount of compounding of the amorphous resin, and an amount of compounding of the inorganic filling agent are respectively regulated to 50-99 parts by mass, 1-50 parts by mass, and 0.1-120 parts by mass, based on 100 parts by mass in total of the liquid crystal polymer resin and the amorphous resin.
