摘要:
The invention relates to filter material for inclusion in the filter or filter element of a 5 smoking article, said filter material comprising polylactide fibers and a plasticizer. The invention also relates to filters or filter elements comprising the filter material, and smoking articles comprising the same.
摘要:
The present invention relates to polymer compositions comprising at least one basic additive, and processes comprising at least one process step to obtain the polymer composition or articles comprising the polymer composition. The polymer composition generally displays an enhanced biodegradability.
摘要:
A catalytically degradable plastic is described, with content of cellulose esters and also optionally of additives. A particular characterizing feature of this catalytically degradable plastic is that it contains a dispersed, catalytically active transition-metal-modified titanium dioxide.
摘要:
Smoking articles including filter elements formed from two or more fibrous inputs with different physical properties are provided. The two or more fibrous inputs are provided in the form of staple fibers, which are at least partially entangled with each other to form a mixed fiber sliver. The mixed fiber sliver includes a first plurality of cellulose acetate staple fibers blended with a second plurality of staple fibers comprising a polymeric material different from the first plurality of staple fibers, such as staple fibers of a degradable polymeric material. The entangled fibers of the mixed fiber sliver may be sufficiently separated from one another such that blooming operations typically required in filter element production may not be necessary prior to incorporating the mixed fiber sliver into a filter element. Related methods, apparatuses and mixed fiber products are also provided by the disclosure.
摘要:
A tablet contains reagents with catalytic activity, release of which is triggered by exposure of the tablet to water. A malleable capsule includes : (a) a flexible polymer; (b) a plasticizer; and (c) a catalyst disposed within the capsule, wherein a portion of the catalyst is released from the capsule upon exposure of the capsule to water.
