A sandwich glass is disclosed containing a thermoset resin layer interposed between glass plates, wherein the thermoset resin layer, prior to thermosetting, contains an uncured resin composition containing: (a) an organic peroxide, (b) an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, and (c) at least one compound selected from the group consisting of at least one acryloxy or methacryloxy group-containing compound and a hydrocarbon resin having a ratio of hydrogenation .gtoreq.91%; wherein the at least one a...

Addition interpolymers with pendant ionic moieties and pendant reactable silane moieties are prepared by addition polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers having ionic moieties with organofunctional silane compounds having ethylenic unsaturation in the organofunctional moiety of the silane where the silane also has reactable alkoxy and/or hydroxy group. The addition polymerization is performed in the presence of a free radical initiator at an elevated temperature up to around 90.degr...

Capsules for protecting a benefit ingredient and/or a colorant usefull in detergent or personal care compositions. The benefit agent and/or colorant within the capsule is surrounded by a continuous phase based on a mixture of thermoplastic-type co-polymer and hydrocarbon oil. The continuous phase is preferably transparent. Detergent and personal care compositions containing the capsules are also described.

A thermosetting resin composition comprising as essential constituents (a) a prepolymer comprising a poly(p-hydroxystyrene) derivative represented by the general formula ##STR1## wherein A represents a hydrogen or halogen atom or an alkenyl or alkenoyl group having 2 to 4 carbon atoms, m represents a number in the range of from 1 to 4, and n represents a number in the range of from 1 to 100, and (b) a 1,2-polybutadiene or a derivative thereof. By using this novel resin composition and a customar...

A polymer laminate produced by crosshead extrusion suitable for wear resistant applications such as a vehicle glass run channel comprises a layer of a weather resistant rubber such as an ethylene-propylenediene (EPDM) rubber and a layer of a wear resistant thermoplastic such as polypropylene. The laminate is passed through an oven at an elevated temperature sufficient to cure the EPDM rubber, for example, at about 375.degree. F., with ambient temperature cooling fluid being blown over the expose...

The present invention is an adaptive laser protection device which adaptively forms a reflection holographic optical element to reflect away incident laser radiation. The laser protection device includes a layer of a nonlinear optical material which has an index of refraction varying with light intensity, a transparent layer having a depth greater than the coherence length of the expected ambient illumination and less than the coherence length of the expected laser radiation, and a partially ref...

The present invention provides stain-inhibiting protection to glass surfaces of stacked glass sheets utilizing one or more water-soluble organic acid dispersed in a matrix of a water-soluble polymer or mixtures thereof. Suitable water-soluble organic acids may be found in the groups consisting of hydroxy mono, di, tri and tetra carboxylic acids. In the preferred form of the invention, components such as humectants, bactericidal and bacteriostatic agents and surface active (wetting) agents may be...

The invention pertains to a separation device which is to be temporarily inserted between two sheet products, in particular between two plates of glass, and which has differentiated adhesion with these two sheet products. The separation device is essentially made of a thermofusible material which has an ability to absorb shocks and an ability to obtain for one of its two sides, a controlled and desirable adhesion with the sheets to be separated.

An improved method is provided for copolymerizing vinyl chloride with allyl glycidyl ether and a vinyl ester. The copolymers so formed include 70-99 weight percent of vinyl chloride, 0.05-15 weight percent of allyl glycidyl ether, and 0.05-15 weight percent of a vinyl ester, preferably vinyl acetate. The copolymers of this invention can be compounded to provide films exhibiting improved heat stability, low haze, and good adhesion to solid surfaces such as glass and metal. The compounded resins t...

A process for polymerizing vinyl chloride alone or a mixture of vinyl chloride and other vinyl monomer(s) with hydroxy containing monomer(s), and the copolymer obtained thereby. The hydroxy containing monomer(s) is obtained by the partial allylation of dihydroxy or polyhydroxy alcohols. The copolymers are prepared by suspension polymerization. The presence of the hydroxyl groups significantly modifies the characteristics of the polymers. Plasticizer-take-up is increased and dry-time is reduced s...
