  • Functionalized polyester polymers and film articles
    Patent number: 10160829
    Abstract: Polyester polymers are described comprising polymerized units comprising a hydroxy functional aromatic group wherein the hydroxy group has been functionalized with an adhesion promoting group. In some embodiments, the polyester polymer comprises polymerized units have the general structure (A) wherein L1 and L2 are independently divalent linking groups comprising an ester group; and RA is an adhesion promoting group bonded to the oxygen atom by means of an ionic or covalent bond. In other embodiments, film articles, laminates are described and methods of making functionalized polyester polymers are described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 2016
    Date of Patent: December 25, 2018

  • Multi-layer, weatherable compositions and method of manufacture thereof
    Patent number: 7090926
    Abstract: A weatherable composition comprising an upper layer that comprises an aliphatic polyamide resin and an additive composition comprising an hindered amine light stabilizer and a hydroxyphenyl triazine or pyrimidine UV absorber; an intermediate layer that comprises a polymer system compatible with polymer in the upperlayer, and optionally, an additive composition comprising TiO2, dyes, pigments, and special effects additives; and a polymeric substrate, wherein the intermediate layer is disposed between and in intimate contact with the upper layer and the substrate. The composition finds utility in articles such as automotive parts.
