  • Patent number: 5902869
    Abstract: Ethylene/(meth)acrylic acid copolymers which have improved melt-thermal stability are described. The copolymers contain an intrachain anhydride unit derived from an additional comonomer which is an anhydride or anhydride forming comonomer, such as maleic anhydride and maleic acid or its monomethyl ester, present at a level of 0.05 to 3.0 weight percent. Measured properties of the terpolymers, other than thermal stability, are about the same as comparable ethylene/(meth)acrylic acid copolymers with no anhydride monomer.

  • Patent number: 5859137
    Abstract: New ethylene/acid copolymer ionomers which contain both (meth)acrylic acid and certain dicarboxylic acid monomers are described. The polymers may be melt processed as readily as ethylene/(meth)acrylic acid dipolymer ionomers, in contrast to ethylene/acid copolymer ionomers containing only dicarboxylic acid monomer derived in-chain acid units. Polymers with typical levels of (meth)acrylic acid and low levels of diacid provide ionomers comparable to existing ionomers, but which have adhesive and polymer blend compatibilizing characteristics, while polymers with higher levels of diacid will exhibit properties which depend on in-chain diacid derived units.

  • Patent number: 5817415
    Abstract: Ethylene/carboxylic acid ionomers may be made, using a meltspun, and particularly meltblown process, into microfibers and thence to filter webs which are efficient gas filters for removing particles having a diameter of from 0.5 to 20 microns from a gas. The webs are effective without a deliberate specific post-charging operation during production. A deliberate post-charging operation can also be carried out to result in further efficiency.

  • Patent number: 5789475
    Abstract: Ionomers based on ethylene/unsaturated carboxylic acid copolymers are modified with from 0.5 to 15 weight percent adipic acid. The modified-ionomers have improved melt flow and melt processing behavior over unmodified ionomers having a comparable level of neutralization of acid groups present. Certain mechanical properties are improved, particularly stiffness, abrasion resistance and low temperature izod impact.
