Abstract:
A high melt strength polypropylene is formed using maleated polypropylene and a combination of coupling agents and acid neutralizers. The maleated polypropylene can be formed using multi-functional monomers. The high melt strength polypropylene can be useful for foaming, sheet extrusion thermoforming, extrusion blow molding, extrusion coating, fiber, film, and the like.
Abstract:
Fibers and methods of forming the fibers are described herein. The fibers generally include an ethylene based polymer exhibiting a molecular weight distribution of from about 2 to about 8.
Abstract:
A film having a polypropylene and polylactic acid blend having a haze of from about 10% to about 100% and a gloss 45° of from about 20 to about 150.
Abstract:
A biaxially oriented film includes a PLA and polyolefin (PLA/PO) blend. The film has a haze of 80% or greater as measured by ASTM-D1003 and a 45° gloss of less than 50% as measured by ASTM-D-2457.
Abstract:
An ISBM article is disclosed wherein the ISBM article is made from an HDPE resin having a MI2 of 0.1 to 5.0 dg/min as measured by ASTM D-1238; 190° C./2.16 kg, a density of from 0.940 to 0.970 g/cc as measured by ASTM D792, a peak molecular weight of greater than 40,000 g/mol and a zero shear viscosity between 15,000 and 250,000 Pa·sec.
Abstract:
A method of producing a sliane cross-linked polyethylene is disclosed which includes maleating a polyethylene polymer to form a maleated polyethylene and reacting the maleated polyethylene with a primary or secondary amino silane to form a silane-grafted polyethylene. The method further includes treating the silane-grafted polyethylene in a moisture curing process to form the silane cross-linked polyethylene.
Abstract:
A blown film composition including an impact copolymer polypropylene component and a nucleating agent, wherein the blown film has improved processing and physical properties.
Abstract:
Polymeric compositions and processes of forming the same are described herein. The Processes generally include contacting a polyolefin with a polylactic acid in the presence of at least 800 ppm of a radical initiator under extrusion conditions to produce a polyolefin-polylactic acid copolymer.
