Abstract:
A composite article and method for preparing the same wherein such article is composed of a macromolecular organic substrate having at least one surface wherein the contact angle of water to such surface is less than about 80*, a base coating for such surface of a copolymer consisting principally of a normally crystalline vinylidene chloride polymer coating and a top coating containing an antisticking agent.
Abstract:
A method for preparing a “predispersion” of carbon nanotubes in a wax or wax blend involving melt-mixing, cooling and grinding the blend, preferably multiple times. The wax predispersion may provide particularly improved dispersion of single-wall nanotubes in ethylene-α-olefin elastomer compositions, resulting in improved reinforcement from the SWCNT. The improved elastomer compositions may show simultaneous improvement in both modulus and in elongation at break. The inventive elastomer compositions may be formed into useful rubber articles.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hydrocarbon wax composition with superior properties as ozone- and aging-protecting additive in rubber products, the production thereof and the use thereof as ozone- and aging-protecting additive. The hydrocarbon wax composition is characterized by its distribution of hydrocarbon molecules by number of carbon atoms per hydrocarbon molecule and its distribution of branched and linear hydrocarbons.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for preparing a stable and thin liquid polyisobutene emulsion comprising the steps of i) heating a polyisobutene polymer, optionally mixing said polyisobutene polymer with a wax and/or oil, thereby obtaining a pre-mix, ii) mixing said pre-mix in water containing one or more surfactants in a concentration of the surfactant of maximum 5% wt. at a controlled flow rate, which flow rate is sufficiently slow to form particles of the pre-mix, thereby obtaining a pre-emulsion, and iii) homogenising said pre-emulsion, thereby obtaining said polyisobutene emulsion with an average particle size of at maximum 100 μm.

Abstract:
A composition for low density, ultrathin, and inorganic films, comprising a mixture of 70-82% of calcium carbonate by weight, 10-15% of linear polyethylene by weight, 1-5% of stearic acid by weight, 0.40-0.80% of aluminate by weight, 0.20-0.80% of titanic acid ester by weight, 0.4-3.0% of modified polyethoxylated silicone emulsion by weight, 0.05-0.5% of foaming agent by weight, and 0.01-0.1% of foaming agent accelerator by weight. The inorganic of the present invention is reduced in thickness, light in weight, easy to degrade, high tensile and high tear strength, toxicity-free, high temperature resistance, and low prices, so as to fulfill the requirement of producing the mulch, trash bags, shopping bags, and package bags.
Abstract:
Provided are materials having antimicrobial properties. The materials include a polymer having incorporated therein a synergistic combination of at least two metal oxide powders, including a mixed oxidation state oxide of a first metal and a single oxidation state oxide of a second metal. The powders may be incorporated substantially uniformly within the polymer. Further, the powders may have substantially different specific gravities and substantially similar bulk densities. In addition, the ions of the metal powders may be in ionic contact upon exposure of the material to moisture. Also provided are methods for the preparation of the materials and uses thereof, including in combating or inhibiting the activity of microbes or microorganisms.
