Abstract: The present invention provides compositions, such as varnishes, ink vehicles, and finished inks, having high bio-renewable carbon (BRC) content. The compositions comprise protein and colophony.
Abstract: Methods for producing a cross-linkable rubber composition that comprises a masterbatch are disclosed. The masterbatch comprising a base masterbatch and the method includes forming the base masterbatch by adding a diene rubber to an internal mixer; adding a total quantity of a solid agglomerated material that includes carbon nanotubes into the mixing chamber; and mixing the diene elastomer and the solid agglomerated material. To ensure adequate distribution and dispersion of the material, the base masterbatch has a minimum Mooney viscosity ML(1+4)100 of at least 85 MU.

Abstract: The invention provides a silane compound for obtaining a cross-linked product which hardly generates poor dispersion or adhesion between an organic polymer material and an inorganic material and exhibits excellent viscoelastic properties or adhesive properties, or a composition comprising the silane compound. In particular, the invention provides a silane compound represented by formula (1): wherein R1, R2, and R3 each independently represents a hydrocarbon group optionally containing an oxygen atom or a nitrogen atom, or a hydrogen atom; L represents a hydrocarbon group optionally containing at least one heteroatom selected from the group consisting of nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur; and the other variables are as defined herein.
