The diameter of the particles of the soft component, and the swelling index of the soft component, lie within a specific range, and the tensile strength of the molding material is higher than the yield strength.Type: GrantFiled: November 6, 1980Date of Patent: May 18, 1982Assignee: BASF AktiengesellschaftInventors: Adolf Echte, Hermann Gausepohl, Helmut Jenne, Hans Mittnacht

Patent number: 4315081Abstract: A graft copolymer is obtained by graft-polymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer onto a rubber trunk polymer which is a copolymer of a polyalkylene oxide monomer comprising 4 to 500 alkylene oxide groups together with an ethylenic unsaturation, and a conjugated diene and/or an alkyl acrylate. By adding an anionic surfactant to a base resin which comprises this graft copolymer alone or a mixture of this graft copolymer and another thermoplastic resin, an antistatic resin composition can be obtained. The resin composition thus obtained possesses excellent and permanent antistatic property that is not lowered by washing or wiping as is the case with conventional antistatic resins comprising an antistatic agent.Type: GrantFiled: February 18, 1981Date of Patent: February 9, 1982Assignee: Kureha Kagaku Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Akio Kobayashi, Takayuki Katto

Patent number: 4311809Abstract: Disclosed are novel organic pigments adapted particularly for use as fillers for paper. The organic pigments are finely divided particles obtained by graft copolymerizing an ethylenically unsaturated monomer, such as styrene, onto a water-soluble cationic prepolymer in an aqueous solution and in the presence of a free-radical polymerization initiator.Type: GrantFiled: June 16, 1980Date of Patent: January 19, 1982Assignee: Hercules IncorporatedInventors: William W. Maslanka, Gavin G. Spence
