Abstract:
A process of making a synthetic leather includes (i) first, contacting a textile with an aqueous solution containing a cationic hydroxyethylcellulose polymer to form a modified textile component; (ii) subsequently, impregnating the modified textile component with an aqueous polyurethane dispersion externally stabilized with an anionic surfactant; and (iii) precipitating the polyurethane in the modified textile component. And a synthetic leather formed by the process.
Abstract:
An edible composition consisting of (a) natural gum comprising a polysaccharide hydrocolloid (a1) containing mannose repeating units; (b) carrageenan; (c) cellulose ether, and optionally (d) water, wherein the weight ratio of carrageenan (b) to polysaccharide hydrocolloid (a1) ranges from 0.4:1 to 1.4:1 and the weight ratio of cellulose ether (c) to polysaccharide hydrocolloid (a1) is at least 0.02:1; its use in an edible product; and the edible product, typically sausage, comprising the edible composition.
Abstract:
A composite opacifier dispersion is provided, comprising: a dispersion medium; a processing surfactant; and a plurality of composite opacifier particles, wherein the composite opacifier particles comprise metal oxide particles that are partially or completely encapsulated by a polycaprolactone polymer; wherein the metal oxide particles are selected from the group consisting of zinc oxide, titanium oxide and mixtures thereof; wherein the metal oxide particles have a z average particle size of >100 nm as measured by dynamic light scattering; and wherein the composite opacifier particles have a z average particle size of >150 nm to 2,500 nm as measured by dynamic light scattering.
