A pigment contains one or more substantially spherical-shaped beads. Each substantially spherical-shaped bead includes one or more high aspect ratio particles encapsulated within an encapsulating material. Resinous compositions containing this pigment and a plastic, for example a polycarbonate, have a flowline-free colored, sparkling and/or metallescent appearance.

Polymer encapsulation of high aspect ratio materials and methods of making same

Embodiments of this invention comprise a pigment comprising one or more substantially spherical-shaped beads, wherein each substantially spherical-shaped bead comprises one or more high aspect ratio particles encapsulated within an encapsulating material. Embodiments also comprise a resinous composition comprising said pigment. Yet further embodiments comprise a method of preparing said pigment via suspension polymerization.

A coating composition comprising components A, B and optionally C, wherein component A comprises at least one hydroxy-terminated polyarylate. Component B is an organic species which can react with the hydroxy terminal groups of component A, and component C is a catalyst or mixture of catalysts. The hydroxy-terminated polyarylates are prepared by a solution polymerization method.

Coating compositions, their preparation, and coated articles made therefrom

The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising a transparent polymer blend. The polymer blend comprises a first resin and a second resin. The first resin comprises polyarylate structural units of formula I, wherein Ris independently at each occurrence a C&#x2013;Calkyl group, or a halogen atom, and p is 0 to 3. The second resin is selected from the group consisting of polycarbonates, polyarylates and copolyestercarbonates. The first resin and the second resin are further characterized by a difference in polyarylate structural unit content, said difference being less than about 40 mole percent.
