Abstract: A system and methods for ghost imaging second harmonic generation microscopy. Imaging data is collected in parallel, providing faster imagine reconstruction and enabling reconstruction in scattering environments. Ghost imaging, split light beam interacting with a target and a second light beam unimpeded and not required to pass through the same background. A second harmonic generation image is reconstructed from the detected photons.

Abstract: A polymeric composition may include a polyolefin or styrenic polymer, a metallic acrylate salt, and an acid neutralizer.

Abstract: A method of making a film by coextruding a multi-layer structure comprising at least one skin layer comprising a metallocene-based polypropylene random copolymer. A coextruded multi-layer film comprising at least one skin layer comprising a metallocene-based polypropylene random copolymer, and a flexible package compromising such a coextruded multi-layer film are also provided.

Abstract: A process includes contacting a metallic acrylic salt with a polyolefin, forming a polyolefin composition. The process includes extruding the polyolefin composition, and pelletizing the extruded polyolefin composition. A production rate of pellets of the polyolefin composition may be equal to or greater than a production rate of pellets of the polyolefin prior to contact with the metallic acrylic salt without increasing extrusion pressure or motor amperes. The polyolefin composition may have a melt flow rate that is lower than the melt flow rate of the polyolefin prior to contact with the metallic acrylic salt. The metallic acrylic salt may only be contacted with the polyolefin to form the polyolefin composition during a start-up of an extruder and pelletizer.

Abstract: A cast multilayer film having a core layer made from ICP polypropylene having a thickness of at least 34% of the cast multilayer film, a first layer adjacent to the core layer and a second layer adjacent to the core layer each made from metallocene-based polyethylene (mPE) and having a thickness of from 1 to 33% of the cast multilayer film. The cast multilayer film has increased stiffness without substantial loss of optical, barrier and strength properties as compared with a film of total equal thickness made from the mPE of the first and second layers. The cast multilayer film has increased optical, barrier and strength properties without substantial loss of stiffness as compared with a film of total equal thickness made from the ICP of the core layer.

Abstract: It has been discovered that the properties of sheet or film materials or structures can be improved by co-extruding a polypropylene based impact copolymer core layer with at least a second polyolefin that may be a high density polyethylene (HDPE), medium density polyethylene (MDPE), linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), and/or low density polyethylene (LDPE). Improvements can include, but are not limited to, reduced haze and increased gloss. These sheet or film materials may be co-extruded with other resins or laminated with other materials after extrusion.
