  • Process for producing ethylene-&agr;-olefin interpolymer films
    Patent number: 6649694
    Abstract: There is disclosed a process for producing films from ethylene-&agr;-olefin interpolymers, which films have, in combination, the properties of improved surface haze, improved stiffness, and improved color. The process involves incorporating from about 0.1 to less than 1% by weight, of a functionalized ethylene homopolymer or functionalized ethylene interpolymer into an ethylene-&agr;-olefin interpolymer-containing composition, and forming a film from the composition.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 21, 2001
    Date of Patent: November 18, 2003
    Assignee: Eastman Chemical Company
    Inventors: Kurt Joseph Jordens, Stephen Wayne Coe, Scott Arnold Hanson, Jeffrey James Vanderbilt, Bradley Scott Westbrook

  • High abrasion resistant coating material
    Patent number: 6072018
    Abstract: An abrasion resistant coating for a substrate, particularly a transparent polymeric substrate or a metallic substrate, includes a cured inorganic/organic hybrid network material formed by a sol-gel co-condensation of at least one metal alkoxide and a silane-functionalized organic compound, wherein the silane-functionalized organic compound is a di- or triamine (such as, for example, diethylene triamine and 3,3'-iminobispropylamine), an aliphatic diol (such as, for example, ethylene glycol, 1,3-propanediol, 1,4-butanediol and 1,5-pentanediol), an aromatic diol (such as, for example, hydroquinone) or a triol (such as, for example, glycerol), functionalized by a silane-functional compound.
