  • Patent number: 5302655
    Abstract: It has been found that monovinylidene aromatic/conjugated diene/ethylenically unsaturated acid copolymer compositions are provided with good combinations of physical properties when a sulfoalkyl monomer is employed in minor amounts in such polymer in place of emulsifying additive(s). In particular, the combinations of wet and dry pick resistance have been shown to be maintained or improved when paper coating formulations are prepared from latex polymer compositions according to this invention. Sulfoalkyl (meth)acrylate salts and 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid salts are shown to be suitable sulfoalkyl monomers for this purpose.

    Abstract: Improved polymer gels for oil reservoir permeability control have a continuous, cross-linked polymer phase having a relatively low density of cross-linking with domains of clustered, high density cross-linking. The clustered high density cross-linkings contribute to the gel's shear stability and gel strength while the continuous, low density phase contributes to good injectivity. Gels of this kind are produced by cross-linking a base polymer with a relatively low density of cross-linking sites with a reinforcing polymer having a higher cross-linking site density. Suitable polymers have ligand groups which are capable of forming coordination cross-linkages with polyvalent metals, especially chromium and include polyacrylamides as base polymers and polyacrylic acids as reinforcing polymers.

  • Patent number: 4889884
    Abstract: This invention presents a series of synthetic based cold seal adhesives which are capable of forming a strong bonds at room temperature, yet which may be reeled up without blocking and stored for extended periods of time. Such adhesives can be used in place of the natural rubber based cold seal adhesives currently used, and thus, can be employed in any packaging application where cold seal properties are desirable.

  • Patent number: 4870126
    Abstract: A high temperature PVC resin blend is made by blending from 60 to 85 parts PVC with no more than 40 parts of a ("alpha-SAN") copolymer of alpha-methyl styrene ("AMS"), styrene ("S") and acrylonitrile ("AN") and less than 20 parts by wt additives including stabilizers, antioxidants, lubricants, and processing aids. In addition, an impact modifier may be added. The blend with particularly sized glass fibers, may be thermoformed at an elevated processing temperature and pressure, to provide a reinforced composite in which the PVC is covalently bonded to the glass fiber. The composite has a substantially higher HDT and equivalent tensile strength, compared to that of a similarly reinforced, unblended PVC composite, without sacrificing the novel composite's other desirable physical properties.
