摘要:
A method for specifying a multi-component composition without human intervention includes customer specification of at least two physical property limitations, and determination of a recommended composition meeting those limitations using a continuous model relating the physical properties to the compositional variables. The method may extend to supplying a multi-component composition by further including one or more of calculating the cost of the recommended composition, calculating the price of the recommended composition, formulating a contracted amount of the recommended composition, and billing for a contracted amount of the recommended composition.
摘要:
The present invention is directed to a reaction product of a polymer and a graft linking agent, resulting in a modified polymer especially suited for blending with one or more second thermoplastic polymers.The modified polymers of the invention comprise a reaction product of the polymer and an acyllactam having the general formula: ##STR1## wherein L is a linking moiety that is capable of a thermal or radical-initiated addition reaction with said polymer; and preferably ##STR2## or N.sub.3 SO.sub.2 --R.sub.6 -- wherein R.sub.1, R.sub.2 and R.sub.3 are the same or different and comprise at least one of the following moieties: Hydrogen, alkyl, aryl, halo, cyano, carboxylic acid, ester, amide, imide, or acyllactam, and wherein R.sub.4 is -- (valence bond) or ##STR3## with R.sub.5 being hydrogen, alkyl, or aryl, and R.sub.6 being alkylene or arylene; and wherein the acyllactam portion of the grafting agent has an alkyl chain length, n, of about 2 to 11 carbon atoms, preferably about 3 to 11 carbon atoms, most preferably about 5 to 11 carbon atoms.The reaction product of the first polymer and grafting agent itself is useful as a structural resin, and does not have to be blended with a second polymer. However, it also demonstrates adhesive properties useful in laminations to other polymers, coextrusions with other polymers, metal bonding, and the like, and could be used in applications such as these. The reaction product is a stable product that may be stored for further use. Alternatively, it may be desirable for some applications to blend all the components, a first polymer, grafting agent, and a second thermoplastic polymer, either together or sequentially.

The present invention is a flame retardant composition comprising from 5 to 20 weight percent of a homopolymer of a monomer having the formula: ##STR1## wherein n=0 or 1, X is bromine or chlorine and R is hydrogen or methyl. The polymer has a molecular weight between 1.times.10.sup.3 and 10.times.10.sup.6, and preferably 5.times.10.sup.3 to 5.times.10.sup.6. The molecular weight is determined by gel permeation chromatography in tetrahydrofuran. The composition contains from 80 to 95 weight percent of a polyamide. There can be from 0 to 10, preferably 1 to 10, and more preferably 2 to 6 weight percent of antimony oxide. Optionally, the composition can contain an impact modifier and/or a filler.

摘要:
A thermoplastic composition includes a poly(arylene ether), a poly(alkenyl aromatic) resin, a polyolefin, and a selectively hydrogenated block copolymer of an alkenyl aromatic compound and a conjugated diene having up to about 20 percent residual pendant aliphatic unsaturation and at least about 30 percent residual in-chain aliphatic unsaturation. The composition exhibits an excellent balance of stiffness, impact strength, and heat resistance and is useful for a variety of applications including automotive fascia, automotive front-end modules, automotive grill opening reinforcements, food trays, and power tool casings.
