Abstract: Disclosed herein is a composition that can provide moisture barrier during packaging. Additionally disclosed herein is a substrate coated with the composition that is recyclable and repulpable. The composition includes at least one ester and at least one styrene acrylic copolymer with a glass transition temperature in the range of from -54° C. to 10° C.

Abstract: An oligomeric resin adduct, compositions comprising the oligomeric resinadduct, and process for making oligomeric resin adduct, wherein the the process includes charging into a reactor a mixture including a vinylic monomer that includes a styrenic monomer, a (meth)acrylic monomer, or a mixture thereof; a polymerization initiator; and optionally a reaction solvent; maintaining the reactor at a temperature sufficient to produce an oligomeric resin from the vinylic monomer; maintaining the vinylic monomer, the polymerization initiator, and optionally the reaction solvent at a sufficient amount to produce the oligomeric resin, wherein the oligomeric resin contains at least one terminal olefinic unsaturation; and reacting the oligomeric resin with a compound of Formula I, Formula II, or a mixture thereof as defined herein.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are polymeric materials such as a coating, a plastic, a laminate, a composite, an elastomer, an adhesive, or a sealant; a surface treatment such as a textile finish or a wax; a filler for such a polymeric material or a surface treatment that includes an enzyme such as an esterase (e.g., a lipolytic enzyme, a sulfuric ester hydrolase, an organophosphorus compound degradation enzyme), an enzyme (e.g., a lysozyme, a lytic transglycosylase) that degrades a cell wall and/or a cell membrane component, a biocidal or biostatic peotide, and/or a peptidase. Also disclosed herein are methods of altering a material's property such as service life, flexability, or rigidity, by incorporation of an enzyme into a material capable of being chemically crosslinked by the activity of a lipolytic enzyme, a hydrolase, and/or a urease.
