Abstract: The present disclosure is directed to a copolyether-ester resin composition comprising: a) a copolyether-ester; b) a flame retardant; c) a phosphorus-containing antioxidant; d) an epoxy compound or a reaction product thereof; e) a metal deactivator; and f) an acid scavenger. The present disclosure is also directed to a cable formed from the copolyether-ester resin composition.

Abstract: Disclosed are additive manufacturing compositions comprising: A) 100 to 30 weight percent of a polyamide composition comprising: a) 95 to 5 weight percent of at least one semi-crystalline copolyamide having a melting point, said semi-crystalline copolyamide comprising: i) 5 to 40 mole percent aromatic repeat units derived from one or more aromatic dicarboxylic acids with 8 to 20 carbon atoms and at least one aliphatic diamine with 4 to 20 carbon atoms; and ii) 60 to 95 mole percent aliphatic repeat units derived from one or more aliphatic dicarboxylic acids with 6 to 20 carbon atoms and one or more aliphatic diamines with 4 to 20 carbon atoms; b) 5 to 95 weight percent of at least one amorphous copolyamide comprising: iii) 60 to 90 mole percent aromatic repeat units derived from isophthalic acid and at least one aliphatic diamine with 4 to 20 carbon atoms; and iv) 10 to 40 mole percent aromatic repeat units derived from terephthalic acid and at least one aliphatic diamine with 4 to 20 carbon atoms; and B) 0 t

Abstract: Chemical compounds that are N-lauroyl amino acids or derivatives thereof were found to have oil-releasing activity. Solutions containing these compounds may be introduced into oil reservoirs or onto oil-contaminated surface sites to release oil from oil-coated surfaces. The released oil may be recovered for further processing or waste disposal.

Abstract: Chemical compounds that are N-lauroyl amino acids or derivatives thereof were found to have oil-releasing activity. Solutions containing these compounds and microorganisms having oil release and/or plugging biofilm formation properties may be introduced into oil reservoirs to improve oil recovery.

Abstract: The present invention provides a method for enhancing the recovery of oil from a subterranean reservoir using waterflooding, wherein the flooding fluid used in the waterflooding process comprises water and comminuted feathers. The use of comminuted feathers is expected to increase the recovery of oil by improving sweep efficiency.
