A compatibilizer including a first portion compatible with a fluoropolymer and a second portion compatible with a polyolefin. Compatibilized compositions comprising a polyolefin, a fluoropolymer, and a compatibilizer are also disclosed. Methods for forming both the compatibilizer and the blends contained in the compatibilizer are described. The compatibilized compositions of the present invention exhibit desired mechanical properties such as tensile strength and elongation. The flame retarded compatibilized blends exhibit desirable dielectric properties, are flame resistant and exhibit low smoke emission.

Particles of a fine powder of a thermoplastic synthetic resin (host powder) having a suitable broad range between its initial glass transition temperature (initial T.sub.g) and its final T.sub.g, are partially coated with an anti-caking coating powder (coating powder) by blending at an elevated temperature to form "mottled" particles. The elevated temperature is defined in relation to the initial and final T.sub.g s as: (initial T.sub.g -20).degree. C. but below the final T.sub.g. Mottled particles, without being encapsulated, have the unique ability to maintain their individual particulate characteristics at a temperature at least 10.degree. C. above the initial T.sub.g of the uncoated host powder, and flow freely under applied pressure. Such pressure is applied by a rolling drum which spreads the mottled particles onto a target bed where they are selectively sintered With a controlled high energy beam, usually a laser beam. Sequentially sintering contiguous layers of the mottled particles results in a porous sintered body. Such a body may be used to make a prototype of an article, which may be difficult or too expensive to machine, then to form a shell mold for use in investment casting. Mottled particles, when stored above their initial T.sub.g, form a bed from 10% to 65% more dense than a bed of uncoated host particles, even when the coating powder coats less than 50% of the area of the particles of host powder.

Alloys of polycycloolefin polymers are produced by melt blending the same with ethylene-based functional polymers. The polycycloolefin polymer can be a homopolymer, an interpolymer, or blends thereof. The alloys of the present invention have improved properties such as impact strength, solvent resistance, and melt viscosity reduction, as well as improved thermal aging properties such as retention of impact strength and melt viscosity.

Retort liners and containers including a container body such as a bottle or jar, a closure, and the retort liner, wherein the retort liners exhibit attractive properties such as low compression set under retort conditions, desirable adhesion to a polymeric closure such as a cap or lid, and beneficial oxygen barrier properties. In particular, the retort liners are thermoplastic elastomers formed from compositions including one or more styrenic block copolymers, one or more polyolefins and a softener. In a preferred embodiment, the retortable containers are all plastic packages, wherein the bottle or jar and the closure are thermoplastic compositions and the liner is a thermoplastic elastomer composition.

A novel energy hydraulic media is disclosed comprising a microgel dispersion. The microgel dispersion is a Non-Newtonian fluid. This microgel dispersion is useful in devices that utilize a hydraulic fluid, such as hydraulic energy transmission systems and mechanical energy absorbing devices. Examples include hydraulic brake systems, liquid springs, and dynamic damping devices such as aircraft landing gear shock struts, car bumpers, and automobile shock absorbers. Methods of transmitting hydraulic energy and for dissipating kinetic energy using this microgel dispersion are also disclosed.
