Abstract: A process for producing a linear polyester comprising a main structural unit of an aromatic dicarboxylic acid ester of an alkylene glycol, particularly, comprising a polyethylene terephthalate or polytetramethylene terephthalate unit, is provided. In the process of the invention, the polycondensation reaction is conducted in the presence of a niobic acid catalyst that is obtained by heat-treating a hydrated niobium compound at the temperature range between 80.degree. C. and 400.degree. C. The process of the invention is also effecitvely applied to the manufacture of an elastomeric polyester comprising a polyalkylene terephthalate as a hard segment and a polyalkylene glycol as a soft segment.

Abstract: A thixotropic gel composition comprising an .alpha.-cyanoacrylate monomer, stabilizer, plasticizer and free radical scavenger is improved with the addition of fibers, spheres or mixtures of the same of certain materials which are insoluble in and inert to the .alpha.-cyanoacrylate monomer. The fibers or spheres composed of such materials as polyolefins, polyesters or polyamides enhance the physical and chemical characteristics of the thixotropic gel.
Abstract: Novel compositions comprising a high concentration of one or more extended chain homopolymer, copolymer, or block polymer and certain polyphosphoric acids are prepared. Such compositions are optically anisotropic (liquid crystalline), capable of exhibiting excellent cohesive strength, and are especially suited to the production of high molecular weight ordered polymer fibers by dry-jet wet spinning. These liquid crystalline compositions are capable of being drawn through long air gap distances and spun at exceptionally high spin draw ratios. Fibers, films and other articles formed from these liquid crystalline compositions exhibit exceptionally high physical and heat resistant properties.

Abstract: A cationic thermosetting latex, coating compositions prepared therefrom, and the process for providing a protective coating are disclosed. The thermosetting latex comprises a blocked isocyanate curing agent and a cationic acrylic latex which is prepared by copolymerizing ethylenically unsaturated monomers, at least one of which contains an active hydrogen group, in an acidic medium in the presence of a cationic surfactant, of which the gegen-ion is derived from certain phosphorous-containing acids. Such latices, when formulated into coating compositions, provide corrosion-resistant coatings.
