Abstract: This invention discloses a method of fabrication of a shelf stable, dimensionally heat stable, impact resistant, retortable, hot fillable container apparatus which is suitable for oven use. The container apparatus has a shaped first material layer formed from a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide, ethylene and propylene, and a cooperatively shaped second material layer formed by coating a copolymer of vinylidene chloride material on at least one untreated side of the first material layer, preferably by impact spraying. The thicknesses of the material layers are selected such that the water percent weight loss per year of any contents stored in the container is less than 3% per year.

Abstract: A process for preparing a melt processed polymer material having improved oxygen, water or carbon dioxide barrier properties wherein a quantity of a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethlenically unsaturated hydrocarbon is melt processed to form a film, heated to a temperature ranging from about 2.degree. C. to about 40.degree. C. above the melting point of the polymer, and cooling the heated melt processed film at a moderate rate between about 6.degree. C. and about 10.degree. C. per minute.

Abstract: A process for treating a linear alternating polymer of carbon monoxide and at least one ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon with a fluorine to thereby affect the water vapor transmission rate through the polymer, as well as articles and laminar structures produced by that process.

Abstract: A composition comprising:(a) at least one linear alternating copolymer of carbon monoxide and an ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbon; and(b) a vinyl alcohol polymer, as well as articles prepared therefrom and packaging materials prepared therefrom.

Abstract: Thermoplastic molding compositions are provided which have enhanced resistance to melt dripping during burning. Such molding compositions are modified by the inclusion of particulates of liquid crystal polymers which have a high aspect ratio which enhance the ability of the thermoplastic polymer to resist melt dripping.

Abstract: A novel pulp is provided comprised of fibrils of a thermotropic liquid crystal polymer which comprises recurring units which contain a 2,6-dioxyanthraquinone moiety. Materials comprised of thermotropic liquid crystal polymers which contain such a moiety are readily broken up to form a pulp comprised of fibrils which can be incorporated into a variety of articles such as papers.

Abstract: A method is provided for the production of a powder comprised of particulates of a liquid crystal polymer. The powders of such polymers are uniquely suited for use in temperature and chemical resistant coatings. The particulates are formed by providing foamed articles of liquid crystal polymers and subsequently masticating the articles to form the desired particulates.
