The present invention provides a composition comprising (i) a polymer, (ii) an organic compound A carrying at least two amide functionalities, and (iii) 12 to 1'000 parts per million (ppm) of a compound B selected from the group consisting of an organic compound C carrying at least two amide functionalities, sugar alcohol acetals and derivatives thereof, metal salts of organic acids and precursor-systems thereof, metal salts of organic phosphoric acids and precursor-systems thereof and metal salts of polyols and precursor-systems thereof, and mixtures thereof, based on the weight of the polymer, as well as shaped articles obtainable from this composition.

Polymer compositions of improved scratch resistance, improved mechanical stability and improved haze

The invention relates to a microcantilever, a measuring device and a method for determining mass and/or mechanical properties of a biological system.

Microcantilever

Organic polymer compositions can be made flame-retardant by addition of selected organic phosphate and other components, such as known flame-retardants or conventional additives for further improvements, e.g. in flame retardancy or light stability.

Flame-retardants

A mixture of a polyester, such as poly(ethylene terephthalate) PET, or a polyamide, and a suitable stabilizer selected from the group consisting of hydroxylamine stabilizers, substituted hydroxylamine stabilizers, nitrone stabilizers and amine oxide stabilizers, when extrusion compounded exhibits a lower residual acetaldehyde content than does polyester or polyamide alone when similarly treated. The invention pertains to any polyester or polyamide used in the manufacture of molded articles, fibers or films, for instance bottles or containers which are used to store consumer materials, for example food, beverages and water.
