摘要:
A scratch resistant and mar abrasion resistant thermoplastic polyolefin blend that includes at least one semi-crystalline polypropylene resin component, at least one styrene-based elastomer component, at least one vinyl cyanide component, and at least one processability modifier component. The processability modifier component contains at least one pair of oxygen atoms bonded by a single covalent bond, and is present in an amount sufficient to provide an amount active oxygen of about 4 to 500 parts per million (ppm) of the thermoplastic polyolefin blend.
摘要:
The melt strength of an unmodified semi-crystalline polypropylene resin may be increased via thermally reversible ionic bonds and long chain branches formed by the addition of a sufficient amount of at least one peroxygenated polyolefin and a sufficient amount of at least one metallic coupling agent. The peroxide content of the peroxygenated polyolefin ranges from about 1 mmol to 200 mmol total peroxide per kilogram of polymer. The metallic coupling agent is typically at least one metallic salt of alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids or alpha, beta-unsaturated carboxylic acids where the acid group has been neutralized.

Methods and compositions of matter that improve the specular gloss retention and mar resistance of articles made from amorphous and semi-crystalline polymers by employing a combination of polydialkylsiloxane and at least one additive selected from the group of organic amines, organic acids, triazynyl compounds, inorganic salts or bases, grafted or copolymerized polyolefins, and aluminum hydroxide.
摘要:
Thermoplastic vulcanizate blends, or a reaction product thereof, that include at least one propylene resin, at least one ethylene/alpha-olefin/non-conjugated diene elastomer, a curing system, and at least one co-agent may be formed into a foamed blend by the addition of a plurality of expandable polymeric microspheres. Methods of forming such foamed blends and resultant articles are also included. Compared to an equivalent non-foamed blend, such foamed blends are characterized by features that may include low thermal conductivity and decreased density in a closed cell structure with accompanying small cell size, good processability, and colorability.

Systems, methods, and devices for sensing dust are described herein. One system includes a controller (450) for utilizing a dust sensor (456) comprising a memory (454) and a processor (452) configured to execute executable instructions stored in the memory (454) to sample a plurality of low pulse occupancies of a particle measurement system at a predetermined interval, wherein the plurality of low pulse occupancies produce a number of spikes. The controller (450) can reduce the number of spikes by applying a recursive moving average to the plurality of low pulse occupancies. The controller (450) can display, on a user interface, an air level condition based on the plurality of low pulse occupancies and the recursive moving average.
