摘要:
The present invention is crosslinked polymer particles, prepared from a free-radical activated reaction of an unsaturated coagent and low molecular weight hydrocarbons or certain polymers. This invention allows particles to be made from mixtures of coagents and saturated compounds. The invention is also a process for preparing crosslinked polymer particles.

The disclosure is directed to a plasticizer system with improved electrical properties. The plasticizer system includes (a) a primary plasticizer consisting of an epoxidized vegetable oil and (b) a secondary plasticizer consisting of an epoxidized fatty acid ester, where the primary plasticizer is present in an amount greater than 50% by weight of the total plasticizer system weight.
摘要:
Scorch is inhibited during the free-radical crosslinking of a crosslinkable polymer, e.g., an EPDM, by incorporating into the polymer before melt processing and crosslinking a scorch inhibiting amount of a derivative, preferably an ether, ester or urethane derivative, of a TEMPO compound, e.g., 4-hydroxy-tetrahydrocarbylpiperidin-1-oxyl. The scorch inhibitors of this invention perform as well, if not better, than their 4-hydroxy-tetrahydrocarbylpiperidin-1-oxyl counterparts in similar polymer compositions and under similar conditions in terms of scorch inhibition and ultimate degree of crosslinking, but exhibit less volatility and less migration within the polymer composition.
摘要:
The instant invention is a crosslinkable polyethylene composition obtained via a process comprising the steps of (1) providing a polyethylene component; (2) providing an organic peroxide crosslinking agent,(3) providing a crosslinking coagent which comprises at least two terminal carbon-carbon double bonds and is an alkadiene, alkatriene, or alkatetraene compound; (4) melt blending the polyethylene component, the crosslinking agent, and the crosslinking coagent at a temperature less than the decomposition temperature of the crosslinking agent; and (5) thereby forming the crosslinkable polyethylene composition. The crosslinkable polyethylene composition may further include a scorch inhibitor, a cure booster, a stable free radical, one or more conventional additives, and/or combinations thereof. The instant invention further includes articles comprising the crosslinked product of the crosslinkable polyethylene composition.

The present disclosure is directed to acetylated polyglyceride fatty acid ester and compositions containing the same. The acetylated polyglyceride fatty acid ester may be blended with an epoxidized fatty acid ester. The present acetylated polyglyceride fatty acid ester and blends find advantageous application as a plasticizer.
摘要:
Disclosed are propylene-based polymers with improved melt strength, improved strain hardening characteristics and processes for producing the same. The processes include reacting a polyamine with a maleic anhydride-grafted-propylene-based polymer. The processes produce a rheology-modified propylene-based polymer with long chain branching by forming a polyimide linkage which couples polymer chains of the propylene-based polymer. The polyimide-coupled propylene-based polymer exhibits improved melt strength and improved strain hardening characteristics.
摘要:
This invention relates to fabricated articles, including films or sheets prepared from blends of substantially random ethylene/propylene/vinyl aromatic monomer interpolymers with propylene homopolymers or copolymers. The fabricated articles exhibit high toughness, tensile properties and heat resistance and low stress whitening, and further can exhibit desirable optical properties, especially when in the form of a film or sheet.
摘要:
This invention describes grafted blend compositions, processes for their preparation and fabricated articles, especially foams therefrom. The blends exhibit enhanced melt strength, melt elongation greater than or equal to about 20 mm/s, increased upper service temperature, increased modulus, and increased hardness. The grafted blend compositions have little or no high shear viscosity increase over a corresponding polymer of the same chemical composition absent the coupling agent.
摘要:
A closed-cell polymeric foam is provided which is formed using oil-containing furnace black as an insulation enhancer. Other foam properties (for example, cell sizes, densities, limiting oxygen index performance) are similar to those obtained with the use of thermal blacks.
摘要:
Oligoamines, such as a compound of the formula H2N(CH2CH2NH)nH in which n is an integer of 2-10, crosslink polymers containing carboxyl functionality unexpectedly faster than conventional diamines such as 1,6-diaminohexane. The combination of an ethylene-acrylic acid copolymer with an oligoamine of this type is useful for, among other things, the production of crosslinked wire and cable insulation.
