A method for producing derivatized microfibrillar polysaccharide, including but not limited to cellulose, derivatized by steric and/or electrostatic forces, where the electrostatic forces are provided by anionic charge or by a combination of both anionic and cationic charge, by stabilizing and/or microfibrillating a polysaccharide starting material. A method of modifying the rheological properties of a composition of matter using derivatized microfibrillar polysaccharide. Method of improving coatings, paper manufacture, and the stability of emulsions, dispersions, and foams using a derivatized microfibrillar polysaccharide. Compositions that include derivatized microfibrillar polysaccharide, including paper compositions, comestible compositions, non-comestible spreadable compositions, and emulsions, dispersion, and foams.

Derivatized microfibrillar polysaccharide

A resinous binder formulation is disclosed which relates to binders containing dilution-enhancing polymers for 'letdown' metal resinate vehicles in publication gravure printing inks. The resinous binder comprises a metal resinate, and a dilution-enhancing polymer selected from the group consisting of polymers of maleic anhydride and ethylene and polymers of acrylonitrile, butadiene, acrylic acid and/or methacrylic acid. The dilution-enhancing polymer being present in the resinous binder in an amount which is effective to increase the dilution of the resinous binder in aromatic and nonaromatic solvents. Also disclosed is a publication gravure ink comprising a mixture of a solvent, a colorant and the resinous binder.

Dilution-enhancing additives for publication gravure vehicles

Disclosed is a photoresist using a 3-vinylcarbazole as the photopolymerizable monomer.

Plasma developable photoresist compositions containing N-substituted

Disclosed are shelf life improvers for photoresist compositions containing organic halides as the photoinitiator that comprise an acetylene compound having the general formula RC.tbd.CR' where R and R' are each independently phenyl, hydrogen, benzyl, vinyl, lower alkyl substituted vinyl, phenyl substituted vinyl, lower alkoxy methyl and phenoxymethyl.
