  • Patent number: 11859058
    Abstract: Provided is a method for producing resin particles by melt-kneading with a non-water-soluble resin in a wide range of melt-kneading temperature according to the melting point or glass transition temperature of the resin. This production method includes melt-kneading a water-soluble matrix, containing a modified polyvinyl alcohol-based resin, and a non-water-soluble resin to form a pre-molded article in which the non-water-soluble resin is dispersed in particulate; and bringing the pre-molded article into contact with an aqueous solvent to elute the matrix. The modified polyvinyl alcohol-based resin contains in a side chain thereof an alkyl group including at least one hydroxyl group (for example, a 1,2-dihydroxyalkyl group).

  • Patent number: 11807025
    Abstract: A plastic material is useful as an ink receiver or printing medium in dye diffusion thermal transfer printing, wherein the plastic material has a polyamide component (a), and a (co)-polyamide (b) based on ether units and amide units. This plastic material can be used to make a layered structure. The layered structure can be used in dye diffusion thermal transfer printing. A security and/or valuable document with the layered structure can be obtained. Based on the finding that the (co)-polyamide (h) offers sufficient absorbency for the printing ink, the layer produced from the plastic material can be printed on by means of dye diffusion thermal transfer printing with a good color intensity.

  • Patent number: 8501898
    Abstract: A method polymerizes a monomer to form a polyamide having a reagent incorporated therein. In the method, a masterbatch is formed that includes the reagent. The masterbatch and the monomer are introduced into a reactor, and the monomer is polymerized in the presence of the reagent to form the polyamide having the reagent incorporated therein. The monomer may be a caprolactam monomer that may be polymerized in a VK tube reactor to form polyamide 6 having at least one free acid site. The reagent may be present in an amount of from 1 to 10 parts by weight per 100 parts by weight of the masterbatch. Additionally, the masterbatch and caprolactam may be introduced into the top of the VK tube reactor.
