Abstract:
A method for preparing stably dispersed cellulose nanofibers comprises the following steps: 1) mixing cellulose and an organic solvent, the percentage of the cellulose being 1% to 15% in weight; 2) adding an esterification agent into the resultant mixture of step 1), the molar ratio of the esterification agent to the cellulose being from 1:0.1 to 4; and 3) physically breaking the resultant mixture of step 2) until a suspension liquid with stably dispersed cellulose nanofibers of 2-1000 nm in diameter and 10-100 μm in length is obtained, an esterification reaction of hydroxyl group(s) on the surface of cellulose fibers occurring at the time of the breaking. Also disclosed are dispersed cellulose nanofibers with improved compatibility to the matrix than the untreated cellulose and an improved strength of the composite materials.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of a solvent-stable polymer membrane, in which a poly(meth)acrylonitrile-comprising solution which comprises, at the same time, a crosslinker, is used. The solution can be poured as a film and the film can be crosslinked. Likewise, it is possible to spin a hollow thread membrane from the solution and subsequently to crosslink this. The thereby produced polymer membrane based on poly(meth)acrylonitrile or copolymers derived herefrom is distinguished by a crosslinking configured throughout. In addition, a solution is described, comprising a solvent and also, dissolved therein, a poly(meth)acrylonitrile or copolymer derived herefrom and also a crosslinker for the polyacrylonitrile which is suitable for the method according to the invention for the production of the polymer membranes according to the invention.
Abstract:
A flame resistant polymer is obtained by reacting polyacrylonitrile with amine and nitro compounds, the polyacrylonitrile being polymerized by aqueous suspension polymerization using a redox initiator and containing an S component at an amount of 3,000 μg/g or less. A PAN-based polymer in which both yarn producing properties and flame resistance are improved can be realized.

Abstract:
A low damping high strength polymer with a blend of a terpolymer and a tetrapolymer utilizing ethylene, propylene, and non-conjugated dienes. This polymer allows for the creation of products with high diene contents and broad molecular weight distributions while utilizing a continuous flow reactor and a known catalyst. The polymer allows for these products to be made without gelling or fouling of the reactor, which are problems known in the art.
