Abstract: Disclosed are polymer blends of polyesters or polyesteramides and a polymer containing an acrylamide sulfonate monomer. The blends are preferably prepared by polymerizing monomers in the presence of the polyester or polyesteramide. The blends impart superior freeze-thaw stability to aqueous compositions such as inks.
Abstract: Coating compositions containing medium density, low molecular weight polyethylene wax and a tackifying resin. The coating composition coats a fertilizer core such as urea to result in an improved fertilizer release profile.

Abstract: The present invention concerns a process for preparing a treated blend which contains pigment material dispersed in a continuous phase of water and a polyester material. The invention also concerns compositions prepared from such process. The polyester material of the treated blend is linear, contains a sulfomonomer, and has an average particle size of less than 1 .mu.m.
Abstract: Disclosed is a process for preparation of an amino acid, such as phenylalanine, with a high degree of optical purity. The process makes use of the same amino acid as a chiral template.
