Patent number: 5334652Abstract: The present invention is directed towards liquid coating formulations containing a mixture of a curable polyester or diester resin, an amino crosslinking agent and a pigment wherein the pigment is dispersed in the coating solution at a weight loading level such that the pigment to binder ratio falls within the range of from 1.25 to 1 up to about 5.0 to 1. The polyester or diester resins employed in the coating formulations are such that when formulated with an appropriate crosslinking agent, acid catalyst and pigment within the ranges stated above and properly applied to a substrate and cured, produce coatings having a minimum Knoop hardness of at least about 4 and a flexibility (T-bend test) of less than 6, generally less than about 5, and a MEK rub value of greater than 5, more preferably at least about 15 and most preferably greater than 50.Cured coating compositions prepared in accordance with this invention exhibit all of the attributes considered essential for coil coatings, i.e.Type: GrantFiled: June 18, 1991Date of Patent: August 2, 1994Assignee: Exxon Chemical Patents, Inc.Inventors: William E. Wellman, Albert I. Yezrielev, Ralph M. Kowalik

Patent number: 5304580Abstract: The invention provides an expandable polyolefin resin composition comprising (a) 40 to 100 wt. % of a polypropylene resin having a melt index of 0.5 to 12, (b) 0 to 60 wt. % of a polyethylene resin having a melt index of 2 to 50 (c) 0.5 to 10 parts by weight of the di(meth)acrylate of an aliphatic dihydric alcohol having a methylene group with 2 to 18 carbon atoms between the (meth)acryloyloxy groups at both ends per 100 parts by weight of the combination of the resins (a) and (b), and (d) 1 to 50 parts by weight of a thermally decomposable blowing agent. Preferably the composition further comprises (e) 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of a monofunctional monomer. When uniformly crosslinked, the composition affords an expandable polyolefin resin composition suited to production of a crosslinked polyolefin resin foam excellent in heat resistance, toughness and moldability of formability and appearing homogeneous.Type: GrantFiled: June 25, 1992Date of Patent: April 19, 1994Assignee: Sekisui Chemical Co., Ltd.Inventors: Koichi Shibayama, Masao Ogasa, Toshihiro Arai, Eiichi Takahashi

Patent number: 5276127Abstract: A polyester resin for a toner capable of being stably prepared without an occurrence of an abrupt crosslinking reaction is provided. This polyester resin has a crosslinked structure and is derived from (a) at least one member selected from the group consisting of tribasic and tetrabasic carboxylic acid components and trihydric and tetrahydric alcohol components, (b) an aromatic or alicyclic diol component, at least one of the hydroxyl groups of which is a secondary hydroxyl group, (c) optionally other diol component, and (d) a dicarboxylic acid component, wherein the contents of the units of the component (a) and the units of the component (b) satisfy the requirement represented by the following formula (1):(8m+20n)a-(80m+80n).ltoreq.b.ltoreq.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1991Date of Patent: January 4, 1994Assignee: Mitsubishi Rayon Company Ltd.Inventors: Masayuki Takyu, Noriyuki Tajiri, Hitoshi Iwasaki, Shinji Kubo, Masahiro Itoh, Hirokazu Ito

Patent number: 5258472Abstract: Substantially amorphous, high molecular weight polyaniline which is processable into shaped articles such as fibers is disclosed. Polyaniline base made by standard procedures is subjected to extraction to remove impurities and lower molecular weight fractions. The resulting high molecular weight base, which is partially crystalline and insoluble in NMP and concentrated H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, is converted to an amorphous material soluble in NMP and concentrated H.sub.2 SO.sub.4, by a two step process involving conversion to a salt, and reconversion to a base. Fibers prepared from the high molecular weight material exhibit conductivities in the range of about 50 to 100 S/cm.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1992Date of Patent: November 2, 1993Assignee: The Trustees of The University of PennsylvaniaInventors: Alan G. MacDiarmid, Elliot Scherr, Xun Tang

Patent number: 4889910Abstract: Crude polyorganophosphazenes, produced by the nucleophilic cosubstitution of polydichlorophosphazenes and contained in a reaction medium which includes such polyorganophosphazenes, reaction solvent for the cosubstitution reaction, excess nucleophilic reagent and/or product of neutralization thereof, and, when present, any alkali metal salts of neutralization, are efficiently and facilely purified, in a single treatment zone, advantageously under agitation in a discontinuous malaxator, by both eliminating the reaction solvent and thereafter washing the resulting reaction medium with a liquid which is a nonsolvent for the polyorganophosphazenes, but miscible with the other products present in said reaction medium.Type: GrantFiled: October 14, 1988Date of Patent: December 26, 1989Assignee: AtochemInventors: Serge Bordere, Guy Pagniez, Philippe Potin
