Abstract:
A process for preparing an improved low temperature curable water dispersed coating compositions comprising (1) forming a solution of an alkoxymethylmelamine and a styrene-allyl alcohol copolymer in a polar solvent and (2) adding to the solution an aqueous solution or dispersion of a hydroxyl-containing resin.
Abstract:
New chromatographic materials have been developed to serve as the stationary phase of columns used in the separation of atmospheric gases. These materials consist of a crosslinked porous polymer matrix, e.g., a divinylbenzene polymer, into which has been embedded an inorganic complexed ion such as N,N'-ethylene-bis(acetylacetoniminato)-cobalt (II). Organic nitrogenous bases, such as pyridine, may be incorporated into the chelate polymer complexes to increase their chromatographic utility. With such materials, the process of gas chromatography is greatly simplified, especially in terms of time and quantity of material needed for a gas separation.
Abstract:
This invention relates to filter material consisting substantially of a microporous and/or macroporous sheet structure obtained by coagulation of a polymer solution in which at least one surface area of the sheet structure is abraded more or less, depending on the desired pore size and a process for producing said filter materials.
Abstract:
Dispersions of poly(urethane-urea) terminated by hydrolyzable or hydrolyzed silyl groups form self-supporting films and coatings on webs. Leather coated with one of these compositions has excellent wear-resistance.
Abstract:
A process for producing yarn, fiber or filament with substantially improved whiteness, reduced yellowness, reduced abrasiveness, reduced static and softer hand includes melt-blending a masterbatch of zinc sulfide and a polyester with a fiber-forming polyester followed by melt-spinning the blend. The invention additionally provides for polyester yarn, fiber, or filament produced by the process.
Abstract:
Thermoplastic molding compositions are provided which include acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene resin in combination with a mold release agent ester that is a wax ester including cetyl palmitate, cetyl stearate and blends of cetyl palmitate and cetyl stearate. Also provided is a method for reducing the release force needed to remove injection molded acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene parts from the mold by incorporating the mold release agent ester into the thermoplastic molding composition.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the viscosification of an organic liquid which comprises the steps of forming a first solution of an anionic polymer dissolved in the organic liquid; forming a second solution of a cationic polymer dissolved in the organic liquid; and mixing the first and the second solutions together to form an interpolymer complex of the anionic and cationic polymer in the organic liquid, wherein the organic liquid containing the interpolymer complex has improved viscosification properties. This solution possesses higher viscosity than the mean of the separate viscosities of the starting solutions at relatively low solids content. Moreover, these interpolymer complexes, in hydrocarbon solutions, can be formulated to exhibit shear thickening at increased shear rates. This property is useful in such technological applications as antimisting of the solvent.
Abstract:
A method for processing a polymer solution by changing the thermodynamic state of the solution to produce a dilute phase and a concentrated phase such that the thermodynamic state is sufficiently changed that the two phases are formed by spinodal decomposition.
