Extruded shaped structures of amorphous polyarylate copolymers, having a tensile elongation at break of at least 80% at 25.degree. C., are made by drawing a molten extrudate of the copolymer at a temperature at least 100.degree. C. above the glass transition temperature of the copolymer.

It has now been discovered that a selected magnesium oxychloride can be mixed with a thermoplastic polymer sensitive to decomposition by water, such as polyamides or polyesters, or with fluoropolymers.
摘要:
An elastomeric composition comprising an elastomer matrix having dispersed therein about 3-30 parts per 100 parts by weight of the elastomer of powdered polytetrafluoroethylene having a number average molecular weight of at least about 250,000 and a surface area of at least 1 m.sup.2 /g which has been treated with about 50-120% of sodium-naphthalene addition compound or another addition compound of an alkali metal required for the alkali metal to react with all the fluorine atoms on the surface of the polytetrafluoroethylene powder.By dispersing such treated polytetrafluoroethylene powder in elastomer matrix, one increases significantly the tear strength of the elastomer, while increasing its modulus only moderately. In this way, the processability of the elastomeric compositions is not adversely affected.
摘要:
Core/shell fluoropolymer compositions in particulate form, wherein the core is a highly crystalline polymer such as, for example, tetrafluoroethylene, and the shell is an elastomeric fluoropolymer such as, for example, a vinylidene fluoride/hexafluoropropene copolymer, optionally also containing a cure site monomer are outstanding additives for uncured fluoroelastomer compositions, which after curing in the presence of dispersed core/shell fluoropolymers have improved tear strength, tear strength to modulus ratio, and certain other physical properties.
摘要:
Flame resistance of upholstered furniture is significantly improved by interposing between the cover fabric and the padding or applying to the top side of the cover fabric a layer of neoprene foam capable of forming when exposed to a burning cigarette or under the conditions of a standard flame spread test, a thermally insulating char which does not smolder, and which maintains its structural integrity. The neoprene foam must be so formulated that it also is capable of evolving at combustion temperature sufficient amount of water to efficiently cool the affected area. Normally, the latex from which the foam is prepared is formulated with a char promoter and a hydrated inorganic compound. Upholstered furniture of this invention passes a burning cigarette test and performs extremely well in the flame spread test.
摘要:
Disclosed herein are novel amorphous tetrafluoroethylene-hexafluoropropylene (TFE-HFP) dipolymers, and other copolymers containing TFE, HFP and a third monomer, many of which are more random than previous amorphous TFE-HFP copolymers, as well as a novel high productivity continuous process for making these polymers. The polymers are particularly useful in the form of coatings, films and encapsulants.
摘要:
Copolymers of tetrafluoroethylene (TFE) and hexafluoropropylene (HFP) having high HFP content and end-of-melting temperature, T.sub.m (end), as low as 200.degree. C. are disclosed. Exceptional performance as a processing aid in polyolefins results from having T.sub.m (end) of the TFE/HFP copolymer close to the processing temperature of the polyolefin. These TFE/HFP copolymers are soluble in fluorinated cyclic solvents. Copolymer/solvent systems copolymer at significant concentrations in selected solvents are fluid and stable at room temperature.
摘要:
Dispersion-process-produced, non-melt-processible, particulate, core-shell, tetrafluoroethylene copolymer comprising recurring units of tetrafluoroethylene and modifying recurring units of at least one ethylenically unsaturated comonomer that is copolymerizable with the tetrafluoroethylene, the number of recurring units of comonomer in the shell being sufficient to enable the copolymer to compound uniformly with an elastomer or plastic without forming visible agglomerates, and blends thereof with elastomeric and plastic resins.
摘要:
Blends of elastomers of chlorinated or chlorosulfonated polyethylene and ultra high molecular weight, i.e. at least one million, when cured with conventional curing systems for the chlorinated or chlorosulfonated polyethylene have higher tear strengths at temperatures of about 150.degree. C. than do the unblended elastomers. The amount of polyethylene in the blend is 5 to 50 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of elastomer. The blend, thus produced has a modulus (M.sub.100) of greater than 1000 psi prior to curing.
