The instant invention discloses a process for the preparation a polyolefin nanocomposite which comprises melt mixing a mixture of a polyolefin, a filler and a non-ionic surfactant.

Process for the preparation of polyolefin nanocamposites

The present invention is aimed at a method of providing wettability to polyester fibers or filaments, to woven or nonwoven fabrics made therefrom and to resultant articles of manufacture. The method comprises melt extruding a mixture comprising a polyester and one or more alkyl metal sulfonates where the metal is Na, Li or K and the alkyl is straight or branched chain alkyl of 1 to 24 carbon atoms, or is straight or branched chain alkenyl of 2 to 24 carbon atoms. The alkyl metal sulfonates are present from about 0.1% to about 1.9% by weight based on the weight of the polyester. A post treatment step such as an alkaline treatment step is not included. The melt extrusion mixtures do not include certain additives such as polyoxyalkylene compounds, alkylmonoethonolamide compounds, alkyldiethanolamine compounds and polyetheramide compounds.

Wettable polyester fibers and fabrics

The instant invention relates to new compounds of the formula I   These new compounds of the formula I are useful as reducers of surface energy for organic materials such as polycarbonates, polyesters or polyketones or their mixtures, blends or alloys. Polymers with such a reduced surface energy possess an 'easy to clean', 'self-cleaning' &#x201c;antisoiling&#x201d;, &#x201c;soil-release&#x201d; &#x201c;antigraffiti&#x201d;, &#x201c;oil resistance&#x201d;, &#x201c;solvent resistance&#x201d;, &#x201c;chemical resistance&#x201d;, &#x201c;self lubricating&#x201d;, &#x201c;scratch resistance&#x201d;, &#x201c;low moisture absorption&#x201d; and &#x201c;hydrophobic&#x201d; surface.

Fluorocarbon terminated oligo- and poly-carbonates as surface modifiers

The invention describes a composition comprising a) an organic material which is susceptible to oxidative, thermal or light-induced degradation, and b) at least one melt additive of a compound of the formula I R1(I)R3XR2 wherein the general symbols are as defined in claim. The compounds of the formula I are useful as reducers of surface energy for organic materials, for example, for increasing the oil and water repellency of organic materials. 

Functionalized esters, amides or urethanes of perfluorinated alcohols or amines as surface modifiers

The instant invention relates to stable free nitroxyl radicals of formula (I) wherein
