Abstract: A polycarbonate resin composition which comprises(i) bisphenol type aromatic polycarbonate, in admixture with(ii) 5 to 200 parts by weight of a polyester type copolymer, per 100 parts by weight of said bisphenol type aromatic polycarbonate, which is produced by adding(a) 5 to 100 parts by weight of bisphenol type aromatic polycarbonate having a viscosity-average molecular weight of not less than 5,000,to (b) 100 parts by weight of a polyester precursor having a number-average polymerization degree of 1 to 30 which is obtained from bifunctional carboxylic acid mainly composed of terephthalic acid or a derivative thereof having an ester forming ability and a diol component, and effecting polycondensation,which provides an improved fluidity and solvent cracking resistance without remarkably decreasing of the original impact resistance and transparency of polycarbonate, to eliminate the defects of polycarbonate.

Abstract: A copolyester film is disclosed which comprises a copolyester in which the dicarboxylic acid component comprises 100 to 85 mole percent of terephthalic acid and the diol component comprises 65 to 97 mole percent of 1,4-butanediol and 3 to 35 mole percent of a polyethylene glycol with a molecular weight of 106 to 550. The copolyester has a reduced viscosity in the range of 0.8 to 1.4 dl/g as measured at a concentration of 0.5 g/dl in a 1:1 (by weight) solvent mixture of phenol and tetrachloroethane at 30.degree. C. The copolyester has a main endothermic peak with a peak maximum temperature of 160.degree. C. to 200.degree. C. and at least one subsidiary endothermic peak with a peak maximum temperature of 30.degree. C. to 80.degree. C. in differential scanning calorimetry with the ratio (R) of the area occupying not less than 40.degree. C. in the subsidiary endothermic peak, the main endothermic peak area being within the range of 3 percent to 20 percent.

C.; and said film having (b) a heat of crystal fusion in the range of 5 to 10 cal/g, (c) a haze value in the range of 5 to 35 percent, and (d) an initial Young's modulus in the range of 3.times.10.sup.3 kg/cm.sup.2 to 30.times.10.sup.3 kg/cm.sup.2. A hot melt adhesive comprising said film is also provided. This hot melt adhesive has excellent high speed bonding characteristics, durability and high bond strength with respect to substrates.

Abstract: Polycarbonate resin compositions are disclosed, comprising: (1) (A) a polycarbonate resin and (B) polyesterether elastomer, said elastomer composing of a bifunctional carboxylic acid component and a glycol component comprising polyalkylene glycol and ethylene glycol, or (2) the components (A) and (B), and (C) a rubber-like elastomer, or (3) the components (A) and (B), and (D) a polyester resin, or (4) the components (A), (B), (C) and (D). These compositions are excellent in solvent resistance and so forth, and further possess excellent physical and thermal properties characteristic of a polycarbonate resin. Thus the compositions are useful for use in production of industrial and electrical articles, such as a car bumper in the field of car industry.

Abstract: An aluminum atom- and monocarboxylic acid residue-containing polyester is provided. Using the polyester as an adhesive or a base, laminates and laminated hollow vessels which comprise, as the constituent elements, the polyester and an ethylene-vinyl alcohol copolymer can be produced. The laminates and laminated hollow vessels are suitable for use as packaging materials or containers for food and drink.

Abstract: Mixing (a) a carboxylic acid, (b) a divalent or trivalent metal oxide or hydroxide and (c) a foundry molding sand in the presence of an aqueous solution of (d) a carboxyl-group-containing polymer or (e) water followed by shaping and curing can provide sand molds having sufficiently high green strength without contamination of the working environment. The molding sand composition has excellent processability, which means filling of shapes or molds with the sand can be done with ease. The sand molds manufactured in this way can be disintegrated by a simple procedure. Therefore the molding sand can be used over and over again and does not cause environmental pollution due to disposal of the molding sand.
