摘要:
This invention relates to methods for decreasing the complex viscosity of a polyarylene sulfide polymer melt while maintaining the molecular weight of the polyarylene sulfide with time. This invention also relates to polymer melt compositions comprising a polyarylene sulfide, wherein the complex viscosity of the composition is decreased relative to the complex viscosity of the native polyarylene sulfide measured under the same conditions, and the weight average molecular weight of the polyarylene sulfide is maintained. The methods of decreasing the complex viscosity of a polyarylene sulfide-containing polymer melt, and the polymer melt compositions so obtained, are useful in processes to produce fibers, films, nonwovens, and molded parts from polyarylene sulfides.

A nonwoven web comprising bicomponent fibers. The fibers have continuous phases each of a first polyarylene sulfide (PAS) component and a polymer component. The polymer component may also be a second polyarylene sulfide. The first polyarylene sulfide component contains a tin or a zinc additive or both, and the first polyarylene sulfide component of any given fiber is at least partially exposed to the external surface of that fiber.

摘要:
A method for stabilizing a polymeric structure against thermo-oxidative degradation is described. A polymeric core structure is provided with a skin layer that contains a skin resin in which the skin resin at least partially envelops a portion of the core structure. The skin structure then provides a barrier that thereby stabilizes the portion of the structure that is enveloped. The skin resin is made from a treated polyarylene sulfide.

A foamable composition comprises at least about 50 wt % of a copolymer of ethylene and alkyl (meth)acrylate having a broad chemical composition distribution (CCD), and having a melt index between about 7 and about 30; about 2 to about 40 wt % of a polyolefin having a carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid anhydride functionality; about 1 to about 10 wt % of one or more foaming agents; and about 1 to about 5 wt % of one or more crosslinking agents. This foamable composition combines ease of processing with good foaming characteristics while avoiding unwanted characteristics, such as fogging.
摘要:
A system and method for analyzing data from a gel permeation chromatography (GPC) or size exclusion chromatography (SEC) system for determining a polymeric sample's molecular weight distribution (MWD) and intrinsic viscosity law (IVL). Data from two or more detectors is used with a least-squares minimization fit. A novel method includes the simultaneous determination of a sample's MWD and IVL using data from two or more detectors. Detectors include a Light Scattering (LS) detector, viscometer (V) and a refractive index (RI) detector. The present invention is insensitive to detector noise in the baseline regions of the peak curve.
