Abstract:
A micro-porous sheet having excellent thermostability which contains a cellulose ester as a basic component and 0.1 to 20 wt% of a cellulose ether based on the cellulose ester.
Abstract:
This invention is directed to a new thermal stabilizer system for cellulose esters and their commercially useful formulated compositions which can be molded, shaped and otherwise processed in a thermoplastic condition at elevated temperatures to provide products having (1) better molecular weight retention and (2) less discoloration after thermal processing when compared to similar cellulose ester compositions containing prior art stabilizers.
Abstract:
Polymer alloys of a phosphorus-containing polymer component having the formula: ##STR1## WHEREIN X is hydrogen or halo; Z and Z' are each hydrogen or a phosphonate group PO(OR)(OR.sub.1) in which R and R.sub.1 are each alkyl or aryl, but are not both hydrogen, Y is a bivalent radical from an ethylenically unsaturated monomer copolymerized with styrene, and m, m', n, n' and p are zero or integers as specified; and a second polymer component compatible with and alloyed with the phosphorus-containing polymer component, the second component being a cellulose ester, or a polystyrene or unsaturated polyester resin. Polymer alloys thus constituted are particularly useful as fire-retardant and flame-resistant materials, and as membranes useful in the separation of solvents exhibiting differential permeabilities therethrough.
Abstract:
A resin produced by graft polymerizing at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymerizable compound on a mercapto group-containing alkyd resin, which is useful as an essential component in coating compositions such as paints.
Abstract:
Acrylic synthetic fibers having excellent touch and luster properties are produced, wherein such fibers are prepared from a copolymer comprising 30 weight % or more of acrylonitrile, 70 weight % and less of vinyl chloride and/or vinylidene chloride and from 0 to 10 weight % of other polymerizable vinyl monomers. The copolymer also contains at least one metallic compound which is present in an amount of from 0.1 to 8.0 parts per 100 parts of copolymer and, additionally, at least one cellulose derivative which is present in an amount from 1.0 to 8.0 parts per 100 parts of the copolymer. Fibers produced from such copolymer have the touch and luster very similar to natural animal hair.
Abstract:
A composition for preparing an electroconductive resin with excellent properties of electrical conductivity, resistance to organic solvent, mechanical strength, adhesiveness and film forming property, and said composition consisting of at least:Alkylene phosphoric esters, alkylene phosphate esters, alkylene sulfonic esters or alkylene sulfonate esters of acrylic acid or methacrylic acid; andA polyfunctional unsaturated compound having two to four polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated groups;And, if necessary, further containing a polymeric material as a film-forming agent and/or a polymerizable ethylenically unsaturated compound; and/orA polymerization initiator.
Abstract:
A novel phosphorylated cellulose ester membrane containing 0.1 to 10 % of phosphorus and having a selective permeability. This permselective phosphorylated cellulose ester membrane consists essentially of a phosphorylated cellulose ester obtained by reacting a phosphorylating reagent such as phosphorus oxychloride with a lower aliphatic acid ester of cellulose, which has a reactive hydroxyl group, in an organic solvent, and then hydrolyzing the resulting ester. The membrane can be used widely in separating materials by processes such as reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, dialysis, electrodialysis, and the like.
Abstract:
MEMBRANES SPECIALLY ADAPTED TO PREFERENTIALLY PERMIT THE PASSAGE OF RELATIVELY PURE WATER THROUGH THEM, WHILE RESISTING THE PASSAGE OF DISSOLVED SALTS MUST CONVENTIONALLY BE KEPT WATER-WET IN ORDER TO RETIAN THIS ABILITY TO EXCLUDE SALTS. DRY, REWETTABLE, STABILIZED MEMBRANES IN WHICH THIS DESIRABLE PROPERTY IS PRESERVED, CAN BE MADE BY TREATING THE WET MEMBRANE FIRST WITH A WATER-MISCIBLE SOLVENT, THEN WITH A NON-POLAR ORGANIC SOLVENT AND FINALLY DRYING THE MEMBRANE. THE PRESENCE OF A WATER-SOLUBLE POLYOL IN THE DRY MEMBRANE RESULTS IN STILL BETTER PROPERTIES.
