摘要:
Described herein, in the preferred embodiment, is a leonardite-based polyurethane resin binder that may be used, among other applications, as a binder in combination with foundry aggregate, e.g., sand, for molding or casting metal parts. The binders described herein comprise a humic substance, preferably leonardite, combined with a polymerizable polyol, an isocyanate, and a polymerization catalyst to make a polyurethane resin binder in situ in a foundry aggregate, such as sand. The lignite is mixed with the polymerizable polyol and dispersing agents as additives to improve the suspension quality and binder performance of the lignite-containing part of the binder components.

摘要:
Silicate anchored multifunctional initiator has moiety initiating ring opening living polymerization of lactone or ethylene oxide or cyclic siloxane monomer and other moiety for initiating living free radical polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomer. The monomers are reacted with the initiator in a one-pot, one-step reaction to cause living polymerization of both monomers and exfoliation of silicate layers to provide dispersed block copolymer silicate nanocomposite, with the junction of the two blocks being anchored to silicate layer and each block dangling therefrom.

Disclosed herein are light diffusing films, methods of making the same and articles using the same. In one embodiment, a method of making a light-diffusing film comprises: mixing about 90 wt. % to about 99.999 wt. % of a powdered polycarbonate and about 0.001 wt. % to about 3 wt. % light-diffusing particles to form a mixture, wherein weight percents are based on a total weight of the light-diffusing film; melting the mixture to form a melt; and extruding the melt in the form of a sheet to form the light-diffusing film. The light-diffusing film comprises a hiding power of about 0 to 0.5 that is mathematically described by the following equation: Hiding power ( % ) = 1 - ∑ i = 1 n - 1 L i ( on ) ∑ j = 1 n - 1 L j ( off ) × 100 wherein: Li(on) is luminance above ith cold cathode fluorescent lamp, Lj(off) is luminance at a midpoint between cold cathode fluorescent lamp j and cold cathode fluorescent lamp j+1, and n equals number of CCFL lamps.
