Abstract: Holographic films contain a copolymer binder having the following formula:(M).sub.w (VAc).sub.x (VOH).sub.y (CTFE).sub.zwherein M is a fluoromonomer; VAc is vinyl acetate; VOH is vinyl alcohol; and CTFE is chlorotrifluoroethylene; and wherein w, x, y, and z are percentages by weight; w is 5 to 22%, x is 50 to 75%, y is 3 to 8%, and z is 15 to 30% with the copolymer containing 3-35% by weight fluorine. These imaged films are particularly suited for lamination to glass in head-up display applications.

Abstract: Holographic films are disclosed that contain a binder having the following formula:(M).sub.w (VAc).sub.x (VOH).sub.y (VOS).sub.zwherein M is a fluoromonomer; VAc is vinyl acetate; VOH is vinyl alcohol; and VOS is vinyl trimethylsilyl ether; and wherein w, x, y, and z are percentages by weight; w is 5 to 30, x is 40 to 80, y is 0 to 20, and z is 2 to 30; said copolymers containing 3 to 23% by weight fluorine. These imaged films are particularly suited for lamination to glass in head-up display applications.

Abstract: A multilayer structure comprising a layer of film susceptible to melting when used in conjuction with a microwave susceptor, a layer of microwave susceptor material, and a layer formed from a crosslinked melt extrudable material does not melt when used in a microwave oven.

Abstract: Cationic polyvinyl alcohol is prepared by blending polyvinyl alcohol under high shear conditions, at 0.degree.-100.degree. C., with a small amount of water, a small excess of base, and a quaternizing agent containing a halohydrin radical and a quaternary ammonium group. The quaternization proceeds with acceptable conversions of about 35 to well over 50%. The quaternized polyvinyl alcohol has many applications, including use as a flocculating agent, as a stabilizing colloid, and in adhesive formulations.

Abstract: Oligomer solution, process of increasing the water-miscibility of the oligomer solution, one- and two-part coating solutions containing the oligomer solution, and substrates coated with the coating solution, said oligomer solution being miscible with at least 12 wt % of water, based on non-volatile ingredients, and consisting essentially of:(a) about 50 to about 94 wt % of an oligomer having a degree of polymerization (DP) of about 10 to about 50, for example, an oligomer of vinyl acetate, hydroxyethyl acrylate, and a C.sub.1-8 alkyl acrylate;(b) 0 to about 30 wt % of a polyalkylene ether glycol having a molecular weight of about 400 to about 1300; and(c) 0 to about 20 wt % of a water-miscible solvent,with the sum of the weight percentages being 100%.

Abstract: Thermosetting liquid coating compositions, based on polymer capable of being crosslinked with nitrogen resin crosslinkers, nitrogen resin crosslinker, and blocked acid catalyst prepared from materials containing at least one oxirane functionality and a sulfonic acid and having a resistivity of at least one megohm are provided. The novel thermosetting coating compositions are particularly useful in electrostatic spraying applications.

Abstract: Adhesive compositions consisting essentially of an aqueous emulsion of vinyl acetate-ethylene copolymer prepared in the presence of protective colloid comprising fully hydrolyzed vinyl alcohol copolymer containing methyl methacrylate have improved water resistance.
