  • Publication number: 20090062443
    Abstract: There is described the use of an acetaldehyde decreasing compound in a thermoplastic composition which comprises: (i) a polyester; and (ii) at least one property improving material selected from a compound containing an amino moiety, a nano clay and/or a quaternary ammonium compound; for reducing the degree of discolouration and/or increasing the degree of light transmission of an article formed from the thermoplastic composition. A preferred acetaldehyde decreasing compound is anthranilamide.

  • Publication number: 20050104058
    Abstract: A process of manufacturing an organic field effect device is provided comprising the steps of (a) depositing from a solution an organic semiconductor layer; and (b) depositing from a solution a layer of low permittivity insulating material forming at least a part of a gate insulator, such that the low permittivity insulating material is in contact with the organic semiconductor layer, wherein the low permittivity insulating material is of relative permittivity from 1.1 to below 3.0. In addition, an organic field effect device manufactured by the process is provided.
