  • Patent number: 5164441
    Abstract: Acrylic copolymer PSA compositions having enhanced peel strength without substantially decreasing shear properties have been formulated by homogeneously incorporating the tackifying resin into the polymer matrix. The tackifying resin is dissolved into a solution of alkyl (meth) acrylate and (meth) acrylic acid monomers prior to polymerization. To enhance the molecular weight of the resultant PSA, the monomer/tackifier solution is emulsion polymerized in the absence of chain transfer agents, such as antioxidant additives typically found in commercially available tackifiers, and allylic hydrogen present in many unsuitable tackifiers.

    Abstract: An elastomeric composition is formed of at least two, and preferably three, S-EB-S elastomeric triblock copolymers having different solution viscosity/copolymer concentration relationships, and a sufficient amount of a mineral oil plasticizer to achieve excellent tactility with acceptable strength. To prepare articles such as medical film protective devices, the elastomeric composition is dissolved in a sufficient amount of a solvent to permit dip forming. A form having the shape of the desired product is dipped into the solution to build up a film of the elastomeric composition on the form. The dip-formed elastomeric films are free of pinholes and resistant to oxidative and ozone attack. The films are particularly suitable for use in products such as examination, surgical, and industrial gloves and condoms.

  • Patent number: 4640945
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a family of novel and efficient drag reduction agents for a variety of organic solutions which comprise a family of polymeric complexes (i.e., polyampholytes) which are terpolymers of styrene/metal styrene sulfonate/n-vinylpyridine (NVP).The metal styrene sulfonate is an anionic monomer, while n-vinylpyridine is a base which becomes chemically coordinated to the metal ion. These styrene-based polyampholytes have approximately 1 to about 50 mole percent of the NVP moiety present within the macromolecular structure. These groups are not necessarily present in an equimolar charge ratio. The excess NVP allows for facile dispensability or solubility of the polyampholytes into the organic liquid.

  • Patent number: 4567222
    Abstract: Bitumen-polymer compositions are prepared, by mixing, at between 130.degree. C. and 230.degree. C., a bitumen with a styrene and conjugated diene copolymer and a sulphur source, the copolymer and the sulphur source being added to the bitumen either directly, or in the form of a mother solution in a hydrocarbon oil, then by maintaining the whole under stirring at between 130.degree. C. and 230.degree. C. for at least fifteen minutes.By way of sulphur source is used 0.005 to 15% by weight, with respect to bitumen, one or several polymeric or not, cyclic or linear polysulphides, and especially ditertiododecyl or dinonyl pentasulphide. The bitumen-polymer compositions obtained can be used for the obtention of superficial road coverings and present a constant quality of its properties.
