Abstract: The invention relates to composite films consisting of a semicrystalline polyester substrate film, free from filler and with a roughness Ra lower than or equal to 0.01 .mu.m, carrying on at least one of its faces a coating based on a modified polymer obtained by polymerization of one or more acrylic monomers in the presence of a water-dispersible sulphonated copolyester.

Abstract: The present invention relates to new plant-protection suspo-emulsions. More specifically, the invention relates to a suspo-emulsion of a solid active substance, having a melting point greater than or equal to 45.degree. C. and which is substantially insoluble in water. The suspo-emulsion comprises at least one oil; a first surface-active system comprising at least sucroglycerides; the solid active substance; and either (A) a nonionic or anionic surface-active agent, or (B) a second surface-active system containing sucroglycerides and at least one compound selected from the group consisting of an alkoxylated triglyceride, an alkoxylated fatty acid, a sorbitan ester, and an alkoxylated sorbitan ester, and optionally a phospholipid.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a new aqueous plant-protection suspensions. It more particularly relates to a concentrated aqueous suspension of solid active substance having a melting point greater than or equal to 45.degree. C. and which is substantially insoluble in water. The suspension comprises a solid active substance; sucroglycerides; at least one compound selected from an alkoxylated triglyceride, an alkoxylated fatty acid, a sorbitan ester, and an alkoxylated sorbitan ester; a wetting agent, when required; and water.The suspensions prepared in accordance with the present invention can be diluted to the concentration desired by the user without problems of flocculation or sedimentation.

Abstract: Modified polymers based on a graft polyester comprising:a backbone derived from a water-dispersible sulphonated polyesterand grafts consisting of copolymer units derived from at least one vinyl monomer and at least one ethylenically unsaturated organopolysiloxane soluble in the said vinyl monomer or monomers.They are prepared by:preemulsion, in water, of a solution of an organopolysiloxane in one or more vinyl monomersfollowed by addition of the emulsion obtained to an aqueous solution of a water-dispersible sulphonated polyester and polymerization in the presence of a water-soluble or water-dispersible initiator.They can be used as coating agents.

Abstract: A graft sulfonated polyester. A stock or sulfonated polyester carries grafts derived from a monomeric composition based on (a) at least one carboxylic acid unsaturated through ethylene, (b) butylacrylate or a mixture of monomers containing from 60-70% by weight of butyl acrylate and (c) at least one carboxylic acid ester, unsaturated through monoethylene. The graft sulfonate polyesters are prepared by polymerizing the monomeric composition in the presence of a water dispersible sulfonated polyester. Aqueous dispersions or aqueous solutions of the graft sulfonated polyesters may be used for sizing textile threads and fibers.

Abstract: The invention relates to orientated composite polyester films carrying, on at least one face, a coating intended to improve the slip properties, consisting of a graft polymer comprising a backbone derived from a polyester containing sulphonyloxy groups and grafts of polymer units derived from at least one ethylenically unsaturated monomer and at least one ethylenically unsaturated organosiloxane.The composite polyester films according to the invention are very particularly suitable for the production of magnetic tapes.

Abstract: There are disclosed metallized polymer particles comprising a crosslinked polymer with an insoluble content of at least 0.5% by weight. The crosslinked polymer bears nucleophilic groups capable of complexing at least one salt of a metal with an oxidation-reduction potential higher than -0.8 V. The crosslinked polymer particles have on their surface a metallic layer comprising at least one metal having an oxidation-reduction potential higher than -0.8 V and being in the zero valency state. Also disclosed are a process for obtaining such metallized particles via a chemical route, and a method of using these metallized particles in the manufacture of electrically conductive materials, including electrically conductive adhesives and paints.
