Abstract: The invention relates to a process for trapping a free monomer which has not reacted by copolymerization or by grafting comprising at least one epoxide functional group in a thermoplastic composition based on ethylene and/or on propylene and based on at least one monomer comprising at least one epoxide functional group, the said process comprising the following stages: preparation of the said thermoplastic composition, addition of a sufficient amount of a solid trapping additive exhibiting, at its surface, sites with a basic nature within the Lewis or Brönsted meaning. The trapping additive is a porous zeolite, the diameter of the pores of which is between 5 and 15 angströms, preferably between 6 and 13 angströms. The invention also relates to the composition obtained by such a process and to the blends comprising such a composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a composition comprising isotactic polypropylene homo- or copolymer obtained by metallocene catalysis (A), abbreviated to miPP, and isotactic polypropylene homo- or copolymer obtained by Ziegler-Natta catalysis (B), abbreviated to zniPP, and grafted. It also relates to a coextrusion tie comprising such a composition. It also relates to a multilayer structure comprising a layer (L) comprising the preceding tie and, directly attached to this layer: a nitrogen-comprising or oxygen-comprising polar layer (J), such as a layer of polyamide resin, of saponified ethylene/vinyl acetate copolymer (EVOH) or of polyester; a layer (J) of an inorganic oxide deposited on a polymer, such as polyethylene (PE), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) or EVOH; or a metal or metalloplastic layer (J).

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for trapping a free monomer which has not reacted by copolymerization or by grafting comprising at least one epoxide functional group in a thermoplastic composition based on ethylene and/or on propylene and based on at least one monomer comprising at least one epoxide functional group. The process can comprise the following stages: (i) preparation of the thermoplastic composition; and (ii) addition of a sufficient amount of a solid trapping additive exhibiting, at its surface, sites with a basic nature within the Lewis or Brönstead meaning. The trapping additive comprises a porous zeolite, the diameter of the pores of which is between 5 and 15 angströms, preferably between 6 and 13 angströms. The invention also relates to the composition obtained by such a process and to the blends comprising such a composition.

Abstract: The invention concerns a method for making acrylonitrile fibers. More particularly, it concerns a method for making acrylonitrile fibers characterized in that it is carried out in the presence of at least an azocarboxylic acid ester.

Abstract: The present invention relates to novel novolac resins obtained by coupling at least one aromatic compound (A) comprising at least two hydroxyl groups and at least one aldehyde (B) in the presence of an acid catalyst and in the presence of water and/or an organic solvent, followed by a step of alkylating the coupling resin thus obtained with at least one unconjugated diene (C), preferably containing no indene. These novolac resins are advantageously used in vulcanized and crosslinked elastomeric compositions since their viscosity, which is lower than that of the resins of the prior art, allows them to be handled easily. They are also used as adhesion promoters for improving the adhesion of rubber to reinforcing materials such as organic fibres made in particular of rayon, polyesters, polyamides or aramids, and metal cords made of steel, in particular brass steel or galvanized steel.

Abstract: The invention relates to a moisture-crosslinkable polyurethane adhesive which comprises:

Abstract: The invention relates to a moisture-crosslinkable hot-melt adhesive which is composed of a polyurethane prepolymer obtained by polyaddition of at least one polyol to at least one isocyanate chosen from the group of diisocyanates trimerized as isocyanurates and reaction products of diisocyanates with water, the said prepolymer having a content of free NCO groups of between 1 and 25% by weight.
