Abstract: The invention relates to an additive-manufacture feedstock, comprising a heterophasic copolymer having a melt flow rate of from 0.1 to 150 g/10 min (230° C./2.16 kg), measured according to ASTM D 1238, and a fiber blended in the heterophasic copolymer. The first-fiber-blended heterophasic copolymer, when in the form of a printed article, exhibits a minimized warpage. The invention also relates to methods of making the additive-manufacture feedstock and methods of 3D printing using the additive-manufacture feedstock in various forms.

Abstract: This invention relates to a process for producing a recyclable ethylene-vinyl ester polymer comprising reacting an ethylene-vinyl ester polymer having an irreversibly crosslinked structure with a poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA), via a transesterification reaction, in the presence of a transesterification catalyst, to produce a recyclable ethylene-vinyl ester vitrimer. This invention also relates to a recyclable ethylene-vinyl ester vitrimer prepared according to the process.

Abstract: A process for dispersing agglomerates or clusters of particles utilizing pressure generated from volatilization of an interstitial liquid. More particularly, the method relates to infusing the particles with a first liquid, placing the infused particles in a second liquid or fluid having a higher boiling point than the first liquid and heating the composition to a temperature above the boiling point of the first liquid thereby resulting in breakage of the particles. Compositions including particles dispersed by interstitial liquid vaporization are also disclosed.
