Abstract: Dry granular silicon acid, an organic phenol and a silicon halide are mixed simultaneously to produce an organic halosilicon acid resinous product.

Abstract: Molding compositions comprising terminally unsaturated polyesters, vinyl or vinylidene compounds copolymerizable therewith and elastomeric polymers have an excellent impact strength and a good heat distortion temperature, strength and rigidity.

Abstract: Elastomeric high molecular weight alternating and random block copolymers are disclosed which comprise blocks of a soft carborane-siloxane elastomer and blocks of a high performance rigid polymer. Methods for preparing such block copolymers are also disclosed. These copolymers exhibit the advantages of high temperature elastomers while allowing the use of conventional thermoplastic fabrication techniques.

Abstract: An adhesive composition for plastic-metal foil composite packaging materials which comprises (A) a polyester glycol having a molecular weight of 3,000 to 100,000, a polyester-polyurethane polyol having a molecular weight of 3,000 to 100,000 or a mixture thereof, (B) a silane coupling agent and (C) an organic polyisocyanate, the molar equivalent ratio (NCO/H) of isocyanate group (NCO) to active hydrogen (H) thereof being within the range of 1 to 10.The adhesive composition provides a satisfactory packaging material which does not have the problem of delamination between the metal foil and plastic film even on hot-water sterilization as it contains foods in sealed relation and which ensures long shelf lives and an improved tolerance for foodstuffs.

Abstract: A surface-coating composition for plastic articles, which comprises as a film-forming agent (A) a mixture of the reaction of an aminoalkylalkoxy silane of the general formula ##STR1## WHEREIN R.sup.1 represents a divalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 represent a monovalent hydrocarbon group containing 1 to 4 carbon atoms, Z represents a hydrogen atom or an aminoalkyl group, and n is 0 or 1, with an epoxyalkylalkoxy silane of the general formula ##STR2## WHEREIN R.sup.1, R.sup.2 and R.sup.3 are as defined above, Q represents a glycidoxy group ##STR3## or an epoxycyclohexyl group, and m is 0 or 1, and (B) a mixture of an alkyl-modified methylol melamine of the general formula ##STR4## wherein R.sup.4, R.sup.5, R.sup.6, R.sup.7, R.sup.8 and R.sup.
