Abstract: Electrostatic liquid developer consisting essentially of(A) nonpolar liquid having Kauri-butanol value less than 30, present in major amount,(B) at least one thermoplastic resin having an average particle size by area of less than 10 .mu.m, and(C) at least one glyceride charge director as defined. Optionally a colorant and a charge adjuvant can be present. The elastrostatic liquid developer is useful in copying, making proofs, including digital color proofs, lithographic printing plates, resists and medical hardcopies.

Abstract: Radiation-curable low molecular weight partial ester copolymer compositions comprising products of a terminally ethylenically unsaturated compound and a maleic anhydride characterized by having free-anhydride functionality are provided. The partial esters are produced by esterification of certain copolymers with a hydroxyalkyl acrylyl compound, or an admixture thereof with a monohydric alcohol. The compositions of the invention are useful as radiation cross-linkable diluents for radiation-hardenable compositions, particularly in improving adhesion promotion and/or dispersive capabilities of binder resins.

Abstract: Radiation-curable low molecular weight partial ester copolymer compositions comprising products of a terminally ethylenically unsaturated compound and a maleic anhydride characterized by having free-anhydride functionality are provided. The partial esters are produced by esterification of certain copolymers under anhydrous conditions with a hydroxyalkyl acrylyl compound, or an admixture thereof with a monohydric alcohol. The compositions of the invention are useful as radiation cross-linkable diluents for radiation-hardenable compositions, particularly in improving adhesion promotion and/or dispersive capabilities of binder resins.

Abstract: Production of a reaction mixture comprising the multifunctional acrylates, methacrylates or halogenated derivatives thereof of oxyalkylated allyl alcohol characterized as being free of odor typical of allyl compounds, not lachrimatory and substantially reduced skin irritation as compared with acrylates and methacrylates of allyl alcohol. The acrylate and methacrylate compositions of the invention are useful as radiation-crosslinkable diluents for radiation-hardenable compositions (binders).

Abstract: An article for storage and transport of biogenic fluids such as blood, blood fractions, intravenous feeding solutions and liquid phase-delivered drugs is formed of an additive-free uncharged thermoplastic polymer of vinylidene fluoride copolymerized with a monomer.

Abstract: A connector for affecting aseptic juncture of two bodies for flow of fluid therebetween comprises a female element having a base, a conduit passing through the base, a cylindrical sheath extending from the base and concentrically spaced about a portion of the conduit, an annular exterior wall extending from the base a greater distance than the sheath and concentrically spaced thereabout and pellicular means for sealing the annular exterior wall at a position remote the base, with a male element telescopingly engageable with the female element and including a sole, a conduit passing through the sole and tubular means extending from the sole a greater distance than the conduit and concentrically spaced thereabout. Means are provided for retaining the male and female elements in telescoping engagement.
