Patent number: 5721322Abstract: The specification discloses a method and additive for increasing the surface activity of non-polar polymeric materials, and a non-polar polymeric material exhibiting increased surface activity. The invention employs an additive of the formulaA-B-A.sup.1wherein each of the A and A.sup.1 blocks which may be the same or different has a number molecular weight in the range of from about 200 to about 1000 daltons and is selected from the group substituted and unsubstituted alkyl, cycloalkyl, alkenyl, cycloalkenyl, aryl and alkylaryl units derived from one or more esters, organic acids, organic halides or organic acid halides, and units derived from alkyl or aryl isocyanates or ester-amides. The B-block is a polyepichlorohydrin unit derived from a polyepichlorohydrin polyol having at least two terminal hydroxyl groups and having an average molecular weight in the range of from about 400 to about 4000 daltons.Type: GrantFiled: January 24, 1997Date of Patent: February 24, 1998Assignee: Arizona Chemical CompanyInventors: Xinya Lu, Eric S. Gardiner

Patent number: 5665822Abstract: Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) containing side chain crystalline (SCC) blocks. The SCC blocks my be hard (A) blocks or the soft (B) blocks (or both) in the TPE. Some of these TPEs are novel, e.g. those in which A blocks are SCC blocks, and the B blocks are polyethers, polyacrylates, polyamides, polyurethanes or polysiloxanes. The SCC-containing TPEs are particularly useful as matrix materials for other components which are dispersed therein, e.g. energetic solids and other thermally responsive materials.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 1993Date of Patent: September 9, 1997Assignee: Landec CorporationInventors: Steven P. Bitler, Ray F. Stewart, David A. Kamp, Robert G. Freelin, Valentine Y. Yoon

Patent number: 5496888Abstract: Resin compositions, comprising (A) a styrene/acrylic polymer and (B) a polyester dispersed therein with an average particle size of not more than 3 .mu., are obtained by quenching a mixture of (A) and (B) melted at 150.degree.-200.degree. C., below the glass transition temperature of the polymer (A) within 5 minutes, and are of good thermal shelf stability and electrical properties and provide toner binders of high hot offset causing temperature and improved low temperature fixing properties.Type: GrantFiled: March 15, 1994Date of Patent: March 5, 1996Assignee: Sanyo Chemical Industries, Ltd.Inventors: Masaharu Nishida, Tohru Ohhama
