Abstract: The present disclosure provides an ink for inkjet printing. The ink contains an aqueous vehicle, a pigment and an effective amount of a hydrophilic polymer with persistence length greater than 10 nm as a bleed control agent. The ink exhibits reduced intercolor bleed when printed, for example, on plain paper.

Abstract: A hyperbranched polymer having pendent olefinic groups and comprising polymer units derived from one or more terminally-unsaturated, acyclic aliphatic diene and polymer units derived from maleic anhydride. Optionally, the hyperbranched polymer may further comprise polymer units derived from one or more 1-alkenes and/or a chain transfer agent. A process to prepare the hyperbranched polymer comprises contacting maleic anhydride with at least one terminally unsaturated acyclic aliphatic diene having at least 7 carbon atoms in the presence of an effective amount of a radical initiator in an aprotic solvent under dilute conditions.

Abstract: Stain resistant composition comprises a hyperbranched polymer having pendent olefinic groups and comprising polymer units derived from one or more terminally-unsaturated, acyclic aliphatic diene and polymer units derived from maleic anhydride. Optionally, the hyperbranched polymer may further comprise polymer units derived from one or more 1-alkenes and/or a chain transfer agent. A method to provide stain resistance to a substrate comprises applying the stain resistant composition to said substrate. Suitable substrates include textiles and hard surfaces.

Abstract: Polyethylenes made from ethylene and a series of &agr;-olefins using a catalyst that copolymerizes ethylene and &agr;-olefins usually have excellent melt processing characteristics, especially in uses where high zero shear viscosity and low high shear viscosity are desirable. These polyethylenes are preferably made by forming the &agr;-olefins in situ from ethylene during the polymerization process. The polyethylenes are especially useful in blow molding, extrusion or extruded blown film processes.

Abstract: Polyolefins made preferably only from ethylene using a selected ethylene oligomerization catalyst to form &agr;-olefins and a polymerization catalyst which can copolymerize ethylene and &agr;-olefins produces a novel polymer which advantageous rheological properties.

Abstract: Polyolefins with unique highly branched structures, and which have unusually low Mark-Houwink constants are described. They are useful for instance as elastomers, viscosity index modifiers and lubricating oil bases.
