Abstract:
A fluoropolymer composite with high ionic conductivity that may be applied in electroactive polymer composite includes following components: PVDF-g-SPS; PVDF; and hydrocarbon- or fluoro-elastomer. After being mixed with specific proportion and being dissolved in an oily or non-oily solvent of non-proton or proton of high boiling point, the invention is coated on a substrate and is heated to get rid of the solvent afterwards to get a compound membrane. Then, a compound membrane of PVDF-g-SPS may be obtained by sulphonating the aforementioned compound membrane. The obtained compound membrane has excellent properties, such as thermal stability, acid-alkali resistance, good mechanical performance, excellent flexibility, and capability for processing appropriate cross-link for further enhancing the mechanical performance of this membrane.
Abstract:
A curable polymer composition capable of achieving rapid curing, reduced viscosity, high solids content, and a very low or zero volatile organic compound content includes a hyperbranched polymer having functional groups of a first type and a polymer having functional groups of a second type, wherein the functional groups of the second type are reactive with the functional groups of the first type under at least certain conditions. The composition can be cured to form a cross-linked nano-domained network comprising covalently bonded nanoscopic, hyperbranched domains which may be of the same or different chemical composition than the rest of the network. The cured compositions may exhibit high thermal stability, mechanical strength and toughness.

Abstract:
A polymer dispersant for pigments based on a graft copolymer which contains a new type of urea functional group as the pigment anchoring group. The urea groups are attached to the graft copolymer by a convenient method which involves reaction of hydroxyl functional groups built in the graft copolymer with a diisocyanate that is capped at one end with ammonia or a primary or secondary amine. The reaction is convenient and clean. Substantial crosslinking or gelling of the polymer can be easily avoided by judicious selection of appropriate ingredients and processing conditions. These materials are effective in dispersing and stabilizing a wide range of pigments in solvent based systems and are particularly useful in forming pigment dispersions that are used in a variety of solvent borne coating compositions for automobiles and trucks, where they provide improved efficiency of pigment use, lower paint viscosity, and reduced emission of volatile organic solvent.

A making the composition comprises pre-melt compounding a polyester, a polyetherimide, and a high rubber graft impact modifier to form a pre-compounded blend, wherein the pre-compounded blend has a Tg of greater than or equal to about 110null C.; and dry-blending a crystallized polyester with the pre-compounded blend to form the molding composition. Such molding compositions are particularly useful in blow-molding container for liquids such as beer.
