Abstract: This invention pertains to novel higher solids conductive coating compositions which can be applied by spray and other atomization methods. More particularly, it pertains to novel higher solids conductive coating compositions capable of application by electrostatic atomization methods. While there are many applications in which conductive coatings are useful, the invention is particularly useful for the manufacture of adhesion promoting primer compositions which have higher solids and can be applied by electrostatic atomization methods. The key components of the present invention are:(i) a conductive pigment,(ii) a non-conductive polymeric binder, and(iii) a solvent selected for its ability:(a) to form a stable non-conductive dispersion of a conductive pigment when subjected to an electrostatic potential of 20000+ volts,(b) to provide for a higher solids liquid coatings composition thereby reducing the volatile organic emissions (VOC) during application.

Abstract: This invention relates to membrane separation of organic solubilized rhodium-organophosphite complex catalyst and free organophosphite ligand from a homogeneous non-aqueous hydroformylation reaction mixture, said mixture also containing, in addition to said catalyst and free ligand, aldehyde product and an organic solvent.

Abstract: Particle morphology and molecular weight distribution of latex polymers is controlled by a process wherein a primary polymerizable feed composition, (a) a crosslinker and (b) a chain transfer agent during at least a portion of the period of addition of said composition to the polymerization zone, is fed into a polymerization zone while simultaneously feeding a secondary polymerizable feed composition containing chain transfer agent to the primary polymerizable feed composition and thus continually varying the compositional content of the primary polymerizable feed composition.
