  • Patent number: 7642320
    Abstract: Novel stabilizers that are comprised of known polymer additive moieties chemically bound to hyperbranched and/or dendritic polymers or copolymers, and novel stabilizers comprised of known polymer additive moieties chemically bound to amphiphilic copolymers exhibit superior permanence in an organic substrate as well as high surface affinity.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 2007
    Date of Patent: January 5, 2010
    Assignee: Ciba Specialty Chemicals Corporation
    Inventors: John James McNamara, Mervin Gale Wood, Ying Dong
  • Patent number: 7037964
    Abstract: Polyolefin films having incorporated therein a compound of the formula CH3CH2(CH2CH2)aCH2CH2(OCH2CH2)bOH, where a is 9 to 25 and b is 1 to 10, exhibit superior long lasting fog resistance. The polyolefin films are useful as packaging film for moist products and as a greenhouse film for agricultural applications.

  • Patent number: 6617397
    Abstract: The surface energy of polymeric substrates is increased by the application or incorporation of novel amphiphilic block copolymers. The block copolymer additives comprise a linear hydrophilic polymer or oligomer and a random hyperbranched polymer or oligomer and is completely or partially terminated with lipophilic end groups. The polymeric articles or constructions which benefit from the application or incorporation of the amphiphilic block copolymers in the areas of anti-fog, dissipation of static electricity, paintability, dyeability, printability, wicking of moisture, adhesion and polymer compatibility include carpet fibers, composite fibers, agricultural films, nonwoven coverstock, exterior automotive bumper fascia, packaging, hygienic products, incompatible polymer blends, laminated articles and eyewear.
