Abstract: The present invention relates to substituted cellulose acetates and methods of use thereof. One embodiment of the present invention provides a composition having a substituted cellulose acetate having a polar substituent that has an oxygen atom covalently bonded to a nonmetal selected from the group of sulfur, phosphorus, and boron; where the nonmetal is present in at least about 0.01% by weight of the substituted cellulose acetate.
Abstract: A dispersion comprising a particulate solid, a polar organic liquid and a dispersant of formula (1) wherein R is optionally substituted C4-50-hydrocarbyl; X is —O—, —S— or —NR2—; R1 is hydrogen or C1-6, -alkyl which may be linear or branched; R2 is hydrogen or C1-6, alkyl which may be linear or branched or a group —(C2H4O)n(AO)p—R1; AO is alkyleneoxy containing 3 or more carbon atoms; n is 0 to 30; p is 4 to 100; and p>n; and a is from 1 to 3. Preferred compounds are where R1 is hydrogen, X is —O— and a is 1 and R is the residue of 2-naphthol.
Abstract: A coating composition for use in forming an overcoat layer in a photographic element, said composition comprising an aqueous solution of: a mixture of two or more surfactants; a hydrophilic binder; matte beads; and a lubricating agent; wherein one of the surfactants is represented by the following Formula (I) and is the only fluorosurfactant in the composition: Rf—CH2CH2—S-(A)-D??(I) where Rf is —(CF2)nCF3, n represents the number of CF2 groups and is 3 or 5 in at least 60% of the Rf groups present, and in the remainder of Rf groups n is 7, 9, or 11. A is a divalent linking group that includes substituted alkylene or alkylene (N-alkylene)amide; and D is an ionic group. A photographic element with an outermost layer containing the coating composition is also disclosed.

Abstract: A molded article molded from a cellulose acetate composition comprising, contained in cellulose acetate, a composite material of a decomposition accelerating agent formed of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of oxygen acid of phosphorus, oxygen acid of sulfur, oxygen acid of nitrogen, a partial ester or hydrogen salt of these oxygen acids, carbonic acid and its hydrogen salt, a sulfonic acid and a carboxylic acid, with a reaction controlling agent formed of at least one compound selected from the group consisting of a nitrogen-containing compound, a hydroxy compound, an oxygen-containing heterocyclic compound and a sulfur-containing heterocyclic compound.
Abstract: The invention relates to water-soluble polymeric thiosulfates, to a method for their preparation by polymer-analogous addition of tetrathionate to unsaturated polymers and to their application in surface coating.
