Abstract: The present invention concerns porous carbonaceous particles having pores including micropores and macropores, having a mean diameter, determined by laser diffraction, ranging from 15 to 100 ?m and porous carbonaceous monoliths comprising aggregates of said carbonaceous particles.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an improved PVDC composition including certain dienophiles qualified for food contact, which possess an optimized balance of effectiveness in preventing discoloration upon exposure to radiation, with no negative impact on the barrier properties, in particular sorbate esters of formula (I), wherein R1 is a C1-C12 hydrocarbon group, preferably a C1-C6 alkyl group, to layers made therefrom, to multi-layer assemblies comprising the same, and to the use of said assemblies for packaging, in particular for packaging foodstuffs.

Abstract: The invention pertains to an aqueous coating composition comprising: —an aqueous latex of a copolymer consisting essentially of recurring units derived (i) from vinylidene chloride (VDC), (ii) from vinyl chloride (VC), (iii) from one or more than one alkyl (meth)acrylate having from 1 to 12 carbon atoms in the alkyl group [monomer (MA)] and (iv) from one or more than one aliphatic alpha-beta unsaturated carboxylic acids [monomer (AA)], the proportion of recurring units derived from monomer (AA) being of at least 1.0 wt %, with respect to the total weight of the copolymer [copolymer (A)], wherein: (A) the said copolymer (A) is stable against dehydrochlorination, in a manner such that the total chloride content of the solid residue of the aqueous latex, after thermal treatment at about 120° C.
