Abstract: A system for measuring parameters in a container is disclosed. A container has a solution. A protective layer is deposited over at least one sensor and at least one wall of the container, where the protective layer is attached to the wall of the container to form a seal between the container and the at least one sensor. The at least one sensor is configured to have an operable electromagnetic field based on a thickness of the container and the protective layer. The at least one sensor in conjunction with a tag is in proximity to an impedance analyzer and a reader that constitute a measurement device. The at least one sensor is configured to determine at least one parameter of the solution. The tag is configured to provide a digital ID associated with the at least one sensor, where the container is in proximity to the reader and an impedance analyzer.

Abstract: Improved compositions are provided which comprise a poly(phenylene ether) resin, a poly(arylene sulfide) resin, a polyester resin, and a compatibilizer compound. The compositions can further comprise functionalizing agents, impact modifiers, flame retardants, and reinforcing fillers to provide compositions that exhibit improved tensile strength and elongation characteristics. Articles molded from these compositions are useful in the electrical connector industry.

Abstract: Compositions are provided for comprising a compatibilizing PPE and a naphthalate-type polyester resin wherein the compositions have a drop in the elastic modulus occurring at least about 15.degree. C. higher than the corresponding blend wherein the polyester does not contain a substantial portion of naphthalate moieties. The compositions can further comprise impact modifiers, reinforcing agents, fillers, stabilizers, antistatic agents, plasticizers, lubricants, and other additives to provide compositions with enhanced physical properties. Articles molded from these compositions are useful in the automotive industry.

Abstract: Thermoplastic resin compositions comprising in admixture a poly(phenylene ether) resin and a poly(arylene sulfide) resin are provided. The poly(phenylene ether) resin comprises an ortho ester moiety which enhances the compatibility and mechanical properties of the composition. The compositions may optionally comprise impact modifiers and other additives. The compositions are useful for making molded articles.

Abstract: A plasticized polyetherimide, such as a blend of polyetherimide and a pentaerythritol tetrabenzoate ester, has been found useful as a low temperature laminating adhesive for making high density interconnect circuit arrays.

Abstract: Aryl ester-grafter polyphenylene ethers are prepared by heating a polyphenylene ether with an olefinic aryl ester, usually an unsubstituted or substituted phenyl acrylate. The products react with lactams such as .epsilon.-caprolactam in the presence of lactam polymerization catalysts to produce phenylene ether-amide copolymers.

Abstract: A molding composition is provided comprising aromatic vinyl ether and maleimide. The cured composition exhibits high heat distortion temperatures and is easily processed into finished products with or without a catalyst.
