Method for forming a transparent article comprising: heating a polymer sheetto form a heated sheet; creating a pressure differential across the heated sheet; pushing the heated sheet onto the contoured surfaceto form a shaped article; and releasing the shaped article from the mold. Also included herein are articles made therefrom.

Process for forming articles from extruded polymer sheet

In an embodiment, a multilayer sheet, comprises: a substrate comprising a cap layer comprising a polymeric material and a core layer, wherein when joined, the cap layer forms a first surface of the substrate and the core layer forms a second surface of the substrate; a first coating layer disposed on the first surface of the substrate, wherein the first coating is a hard coating; and a second coating layer disposed on the second surface of the substrate, wherein the second coating is a flexible coating; wherein the multilayer sheet passes a ball drop test from a distance of greater than or equal to 50 centimeters.

Multilayer sheet, methods for making and using the same, and articles comprising the multilayer sheet

In one embodiment, a multilayer structure comprises: an initial terpolymer layer, a second layer comprising plastic and/or glass, a polycarbonate layer, and an adhesive layer. The initial terpolymer layer comprises a polycarbonate terpolymer derived from a first dihydroxy compound, a second dihydroxy compound, and a third dihydroxy compound, the first dihydroxy compound has Structure (A) wherein Ris a hydrogen or CH; the second dihydroxy compound has Structure (A) and is different from the first dihydroxy compound; and the third dihydroxy compound does not have Structure (A), and wherein a sum of mole percent of all of the first dihydroxy compound and the second dihydroxy compound is greater than or equal to 45% relative to a sum of mole percent of all of the first dihydroxy compound, the second dihydroxy compound, and the third dihydroxy compound in the polycarbonate terpolymer.

Plastic laminates and methods for making the same

Windows and other articles made from dimethyl bisphenol cyclohexane (DMBPC) polycarbonate exhibit enhanced scratch resistance properties and Mw degradation resistance properties as compared to traditional polycarbonates. Such windows and other articles made from DMBPC polycarbonate can be used in various applications including buildings, particularly in agricultural environments and in electronic devices.

Windows and other articles made from DMBPC polycarbonate homopolymer and copolymer

This disclosure relates to a data storage medium, and in particular to a data storage medium comprising at least one high modulus layer. In one embodiment, an asymmetric optical storage medium can comprise: a substrate layer comprising polyarylene ether, a high modulus layer comprising a thermoset, and a data layer disposed between the modulus layer and the substrate layer. The high modulus layer has a tensile modulus that is greater than a substrate layer tensile modulus. In another embodiment, an asymmetric optical storage medium can comprise: a substrate layer comprising polyarylene ether and having surface features and a high modulus layer disposed on the side of the substrate comprising the surface features. The surface features can comprise pits. The high modulus layer can comprise a thermoset, and can have a tensile modulus that is greater than a substrate layer tensile modulus.

Storage medium for data

This disclosure relates to a data storage medium, and in particular to a data storage medium comprising at least one high modulus layer. An asymmetric optical storage medium can comprise: at least one substrate layer comprising polyarylene ether, at least one high modulus layer comprising a thermoset, and at least one data layer disposed between the modulus layer and the substrate layer.

This disclosure relates to a data storage medium, and in particular to a data storage medium comprising at least one high modulus layer used to control the overall degree of flatness in the storage medium.

Storage medium for data with improved dimensional stability

This invention relates to a method for preparing diaryl esters, comprising the step of reacting a mixture comprising diaryl carbonate and a dicarboxylic acid, wherein 2.005 to 2.2 molar equivalents of diaryl carbonate per molar equivalent of dicarboxylic acid are provided.

Melt process for the synthesis of diaryl esters of aliphatic diacids

The invention relates to terpolymers particularly suited for use in high density optical data storage media. The terpolymers are suitable for use in DVD recordable and rewritable media. The invention further relates to methods for making DVD recordable and rewritable media from these terpolymers.

Data storage media containing clear polycarbonate terpolymer

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a foamed article having a foam density of less than 180 kg/m,and an average cell diameter of less than 1.5 mm comprising the extrusion of a molten semi-crystalline thermoplastic resin composition in the presence of a foaming agent, with the semi-crystalline thermoplastic resin composition comprising a polymeric epoxide containing at least two epoxide groups being a copolymer of a monomer mixture comprising at least one C,to C,-olefin and at least one ethylenically unsaturated compound comprising an epoxide group. The process results in the preparation of foamed articles having a regular and homogeneous structure. Another advantage of the present invention is that it is not necessary anymore to add a compound of Group Ia, IIa, or IIIa of the Periodic Table, such as LiCl, to the extrusion process.
