The invention further relates to a method for improving at least one property such as mechanical, optical or a combination thereof and to a process for preparing a nanocrystalline cellulose-containing hydrodispersible, hydrosoluble and hydrophobic wood coating.

Abstract: Provided is a cover coating composition for a glass lining comprising a frit constituting the composition which mainly includes 65 to 75 mol % of SiO2, 2 to 8 mol % of ZrO2, 10 to 22 mol % of R2O where R represents Li, K, or Cs, and 2 to 12 mol % of R?O where R? represents Mg, Ca, Sr, or Ba, and the frit is free of Na2O, and said cover coating composition for a glass lining may further contain a metal fiber.

Abstract: A process for reducing the variability in commercial production lots of cellulose gums, such as cellulose ethers, in which inert substances, such as sucrose, salt, maltodextrin, or other relatively are blended with the cellulose gums to create products that exhibit less variability in certain a functional property, such as aqueous viscosity than commercial production lots which have not been subjected to the blending process.

Abstract: Disclosed are a sealing material including an inorganic particle, an organic binder, and a fiber-phased material, and a display device including the seal material.

Abstract: A functional cotton spray composition includes: 100 parts by weight of cotton fibers having a length of 3 mm or less; 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of a phase change material; 0.5 to 1 parts by weight of a titanium dioxide photoactive catalyst; 0.5 to 2 parts by weight of at least one natural pigment selected from the group consisting of a pine needle powder, a green tea powder, a mugwort powder, an indigo plant powder, a gardenia powder, a charcoal powder and a yellow soil powder; 0.5 to 5 parts by weight of a dispersant; 5 to 20 parts by weight of a viscosity improver; 10 to 20 parts by weight of an organic flame retardant; 5 to 15 parts by weight of an inorganic flame retardant; 0.5 to 3 parts by weight of an antimicrobial and antifungal agent; and 300 to 600 parts by weight of viscosity-controlling water.

Abstract: A method for producing paints, especially by mixing predetermined amounts of coloring products with basic varnish products, involves the following steps: (a) preparation of a liquid monobasic component containing predetermined amounts of a binding element and a filler element, the proportion of said amounts depending upon the final desired quality of paint; and (b) addition of predetermined amounts of at least one liquid component selected from the group including a liquid component comprising TiO2 titanium white and a liquid component containing a filler to a liquid monobasic product, in keeping with proportional formulations which are optimized according to the final coloration of the paint thus desired. In order to obtain final paint colorations which are different from white, predetermined amounts of liquid components containing coloring pigments are added to the liquid monobasic component.

Abstract: A paperboard containing microplatelet cellulose particles has improved surface smoothness, aesthetic properties, bending stiffness and strength performance. When microplatelet cellulose particles are used for surface treatment of the paperboard, the microplatelets fill voids between fibers on the board surface. As a result, treated board has enhanced strength and surface properties such as smoothness, opacity, coating hold-out, and printability without compromising bending stiffness. Furthermore, the present disclosure relates to a process for improving board strength, surface smoothness and/or bending stiffness without the needs for densification, while maintaining other desired performances.

Abstract: A biodegradable sugar-inorganic hybrid composite comprising a sugar or a sugar derivative uniformly dispersed in a matrix of an inorganic oxide, of which degradation products are suitable for recycling use.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to film coating systems for use on oral dosage forms such as compressed tablets and orally-ingestible substrates which have improved pearlescent qualities. The film coating systems can be applied either directly to a substrate or after the substrate has been coated with a subcoat. In preferred aspects, the pearlescent film coating is prepared as a dry powder mixture containing a cellulosic polymer, a detackifier, a gloss enhancer, and a pearlescent pigment. Film coating compositions containing an aqueous suspension of the powder mixtures, methods of applying the coatings to substrates and the coated substrates are also disclosed.
