Abstract: Polyester polyols are generally disclosed, including methods of making and using them. In some embodiments, the polyester polyols are incorporated into a block copolymer, such as a polyurethane block copolymer. In some embodiments, the polyurethane block copolymers can be used as compatibilizing agents, which can be used, for example, in polymer blends, polymer alloys, solutions, emulsions, as well as in extruded and injection molded articles. In some embodiments, at least a portion of the polyurethane block copolymer is derived from a renewable source.

Abstract: Cellulose ester compounds and compositions that include such cellulose ester compounds dissolved in lipophilic solvents.

Abstract: New methods of forming compounded cellulose esters are provided. The methods comprise mixing a cellulose ester, functional additive, and a swelling agent and subsequently removing at least a portion of the swelling agent. The swelling agent is one that assists in causing the functional additive to penetrate into the cellulose ester, while not acting significantly as a solvent for the cellulose ester. Preferred cellulose esters include, but are not limited to, cellulose acetates, cellulose triacetates, cellulose acetate phthalates, and cellulose acetate butyrates. The functional additive can be a plasticizer, stabilizer, or other additive selected to modify a particular property of the cellulose.

Abstract: A personal care product composition containing a long chain fatty acid cellulose ester (LCCE) having a degree of substitution greater than about 1.0 of an ester substituent or residue from fatty acids having from 6 to 18 carbon atoms wherein the LCCE is soluble in at least one cosmetically acceptable solvent selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons, alkyl esters, fats and oils, fatty acids, fatty alcohols, and silicone oils.
