  • Patent number: 10730988
    Abstract: Modified polyolefin particles are obtained by grafting a monomer having an ethylenically unsaturated group and a polar functional group in the same molecule to a polymer including one, or two or more specific ?-olefins and having a specific melting point, the modified polyolefin particles satisfying the following requirements (1) to (3): (1) the amount of grafting x by the monomer is not less than 0.5 wt % and not more than 20 wt %; (2) the x (wt %) and the intrinsic viscosity [?] (dl/g) measured in decalin at 135° C. satisfy the relation: log10[?]?0.1?0.15x; and (3) the particles have a gel content of less than 1 wt %.

  • Publication number: 20200230934
    Abstract: The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a laminate, comprising the step of co-extruding a polycarbonate and an adhesive composition to thereby form a polycarbonate layer (A) and an adhesive layer (B) at least a part of which is laminated to the layer (A); and the step of heat-treating the polycarbonate layer (A) and the adhesive layer (B), wherein the adhesive composition satisfies the following requirements (i) to (iii): (i) comprising a polyolefin formed through a reaction between a polyolefin (a) having a group reactive with a carbodiimide group and a carbodiimide group-containing compound (b); (ii) comprising carbodiimide groups in an amount of 0.1 to 50 mmol per 100 g of adhesive composition; and (iii) having a density of 0.870 g/cm3 to 0.940 g/cm3.
