Abstract: A one or two layer coating system has been developed for plastic substrates. The one coating system low reflective layer consists of a fluorinated copolymer having the formula: VF2/TFE/HFP, VF2/HFP or VF2/TFE/PMVE. In the two coating system, the upper coating layer consists of TFE/HFP, VF2/TFE/HFP, or TFE/Perfluorodioxole, and the lower coating layer consists of VF2/TFE/HFP, VF/TFE/HFP, VAc/TFE/HFIB, or TFE graft to PVOH.

Abstract: A polyester blend composition that comprises at least two copolymers selected from certain copolymers, particularly blends of branched and linear biodegradable copolymers. Also provided is a blown film that is produced from the polyester blend composition, and a process for producing the polyester blend composition and the film. The film is biodegradable, transparent, and has excellent mechanical properties.

Abstract: A method of producing an injection moldable polyimide resin composition, which is characterized by the fact that at least one aromatic acid anhydride and at least one aromatic diamine are directly combined with at least one polymer that can be melt molded at a temperature lower than 400.degree. C. Furthermore, the resulting product can be heat treated.

Abstract: Blends of a perfluoroelastomer with a nitrile containing polyperfluoroether are described. The addition of the polyperfluoroether often improves the properties, processability and/or low temperature properties of the perfluoroelastomer. It is preferred if the perfluoroelastomer contains nitrile groups so that the two polymers can cocure, thereby retarding separation of the polyperfluoroether from the perfluoroelastomer.

Abstract: Polymeric blends of polyimide precursor resins and polyamides or polyesters, preferably in the form of liquid crystal polymers, provide polyimide products with excellent physical characteristics and injection molding capability.
