Abstract:
A stabilized polymer composition comprising a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon, at least one melt stabilizing agent selected from the group consisting of titanium alkoxides. A process of preparing the composition and articles of manufacture produced from the composition are also disclosed.
Abstract:
Polymer compositions comprising an intimate mixture of a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon and a mixture of a hydroxyapatite and an alumina hydrogel or aluminum-containing decomposition product thereof demonstrate improved stability.
Abstract:
Improved compositions comprise polymer blends of a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon with an amorphous polyamide, and, optionally, an acidic polymer containing moieties of an .alpha.-olefin and an .alpha..beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid. The blends demonstrate improved transparency.
Abstract:
Polymer compositions comprising linear alternating polymers of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon and an amount of ceramic fiber reinforcement.
Abstract:
Polymer blends of improved properties are produced from (1) linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon, (2) copolymers of ethylene and .alpha.,.beta.-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid and (3) glass fibers.
Abstract:
A method for rending melt processable a liquid crystal polymer otherwise not readily processable as a result of an interfering degradation temperature or an elevated viscosity. In the method the liquid crystal polymer is blended with a second, low molecular weight liquid crystal diester to form a miscible mesophase which is typified by a reduced viscosity and or at a lower temperature may be formed into a desired configuration. The low molecular weight liquid crystal may be then transesterified into the polyester to produce a long chain having desirable final liquid crystal polymer properties.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to contact lenses which reduce indoor glare and provide improved comfort to the wearer. The contact lenses of the present invention have, at about body temperature, a percent transmission between 70 to 90% across the region of 420-700 nm.
Abstract:
Disclosed in this specification is a process for manufacturing a thermochromic contact lens. The process includes (1) selecting a photoinitiator that absorbs at a first wavelength and at least one thermochromic dye that displays substantial absorption at the first wavelength when the dye is at a first temperature and exhibits at least an 80% reduction in absorbance at the first wavelength at a second temperature, (2) maintaining the reaction mixture at the second temperature and (3) providing cure light that includes the first wavelength.
