Abstract:
Disclosed is a composition comprising a polycarbonate or engineering resin and a branched polymer which is a reaction product of reactants comprising one or more monoethylenically unsaturated ester monomers, a chain transfer agent in an amount of 0.1 to 10 weight percent, and a crosslinker in an amount of 0.1 to 10 weight percent of a crosslinker, wherein weight percent is based on total amount of reactants, provided the amount of crosslinker in moles is less than the effective amount of chain transfer agent in moles, and articles thereof.
Abstract:
A process for preparing a (meth)acrylate comprising preparing an aqueous phase by combining water, one or more stabilizing agents, and one or more surfactants; preparing an oil phase by combining one or more free radical initiators, one or more monomers capable of undergoing radical polymerization, one or more crosslinking and/or graft-linking monomers, and stearyl methacrylate and/or lauryl methacrylate, wherein the free radical initiator is capable of partitioning preferentially into the oil phase; combining the aqueous and oil phases and mixing to form a suspension having oil droplets ranging in size from 1 to 10 microns; raising the temperature of the suspension to effect an initial polymerization forming a core polymer is provided.
Abstract:
