Abstract:
PVC impact modifier composition and clear modified PVC comprising PVC and a graft copolymer including from 60 to 70 wt % of a butadiene based rubber grafted with 40 to 30 wt % of a styrenic composition and a ethylenically unsaturated nitrile in a ratio of about 3/1 to 5/1. These compositions have excellent clarity and good impact properties.
Abstract:
A thermoplastic resin composition useful for optical purposes is obtained by blending a polymer of an acrylic ester with a copolymer of vinylidene fluoride (VDF) and hexafluoroacetone (HFA). The blending ratio is not limited, though very good transparency is ensured when the acrylic ester polymer amounts to at least 20 wt %. It is preferable to use a polymer of an acrylic ester with an alkyl alcohol having not more than 4 carbon atoms. When using the resin composition in optical fibers or cylindrical lenses it is suitable to use a VDF/HFA copolymer containing not more than 20 mol % of HFA. The refractive index of a member formed of the resin composition is lower than that of the acrylic ester polymer and falls in the range of about 1.37-1.48. The resin composition is soluble in various organic solvents and accordingly can be used for adhesing and coating purposes too. Besides, this resin composition serves as a thermochromic material.
Abstract:
The invention herein disclosed provides a method for preparing improved fluoroelastomer film compositions including the steps of dissolving a fluoroelastomer gum selected from the group consisting of copolymers of vinylidene fluoride and hexafluoropropylene, and terpolymers of vinylidene fluoride, hexafluoropropylene and tetrafluoroethylene in a solvent, adding an amine-derived curative to the gum solution and curing the fluoroelastomer gum with the curative in the absence of metallic oxides. A method is also provided for adhering fluoroelastomer film compositions, devoid of metallic oxides, to substrates which includes the steps of dissolving the fluoroelastomer gum in a solvent, adding an amine-derived curative to the gum solution, coating the substrate with the fluoroelastomer gum-curative solution and evaporating the solvent leaving a film firmly adhered to the substrate. When metallic oxides are present, the foregoing method can also be practiced by including the step of adding an epoxy resin to the composition. The fluoroelastomer film compositions disclosed herein are also novel and can be used to coat a variety of substrates thereby providing other novel, useful articles.
