Abstract:
A polystyrene (PS) composition for making an extruded foam, the PS composition comprising: a dried PS/alumina compound comprising a PS and an alumina additive, wherein the dried PS/alumina compound has a moisture content, measured by Coulometer, that is less than or equal to about 0.05 weight percent (wt%); and a blowing agent.
Abstract:
Fibers and methods of forming the fibers are described herein. The fibers generally include an ethylene based polymer exhibiting a molecular weight distribution of from about 2 to about 8.
Abstract:
A method of processing a high ethylene random copolymer comprising nucleating a high ethylene random copolymer to form a high ethylene polymeric composition, melting and extruding a high ethylene polymeric composition, spinning a high ethylene polymeric composition to form a fiber, cooling the fiber, guiding the fiber with an aspirator, and recovering the fiber.
