Abstract:
Polymer foam bodies are made from phosphorus-containing thermoplastic random copolymers of a dialkyl (meth)acryloyloxyalkyl phosph(on)ate. Foam bodies made from these copolymers exhibit increased limiting oxygen indices and surprisingly have good properties. In certain embodiments, the phosphorus-containing thermoplastic copolymer is blended with one or more other polymers and formed into nanofoams.
Abstract:
Brominated styrene-butadiene copolymers are useful gas transport films. The gas transport films are made by brominating a starting styrene-butadiene copolymer, and then forming the brominated styrene-butadiene copolymer into a film The film may contain a blend of the brominated styrene-butadiene copolymer with one or more other polymers. The films have excellent selectivities between certain pairs of gasses, and exhibit high gas transport rates for various gasses such as carbon dioxide and water vapor.

Abstract:
Aluminum carboxylate salt having a formula of Al[OCO(CH2)nP(O)(OR1)(OR2)]3 where R1 and R2 are hydrocarbyl groups that can optionally be joined and n is independently an integer between one and four is useful for forming an article of manufacture comprising a polymer compounded together the aluminum carboxylate salt to form a flame retardant polymer article.
