Provided herein are polymeric compositions that are suitable protected from UV-induced discoloration and degradation. Such resins comprise an isosorbide polymer and one or more hindered amines. These resin compositions are useful in the manufacture of various shaped, formed and/or molded articles.

UV stabilization of isosorbide polycarbonates

A luminescent solar collector comprises a sheet and a light energy converter operatively connected to the sheet, the sheet comprising a thermoplastic polymer and dispersed therein at least two dyes A and B; wherein dye A is a fluorescent dye of Formula (I) and dye B is either a perylene dye of Formula (II) or a diketopyrrolopyrrole dye of Formula (III): wherein R, m, R, R, R, R, and k are as described herein. The luminescent solar collector has improved output.

Luminescent solar collector

A luminescent solar collector contains a first fluorescent dye and a dye compound of Formula (I) or (II): where R, R', m, and k are as described herein. The luminescent solar collector has improved output.

Disclosed are fluorescent dye compounds of Formula (I): wherein R, R, and G are as described herein. The fluorescent dyes are suitable for use in luminescent solar collectors or as a colorant. Methods of making the fluorescent dyes and luminescent solar collectors comprising them are also described.

A thermoplastic composition comprising a matrix of a polycarbonate polymer in which are embedded polysiloxane domains with an average domain size between 20 and 45 nanometers. Said compositions can be obtained by combining a first polycarbonate/poly(diorganosiloxane) copolymer; with a second polycarbonate/poly(diorganosiloxane) copolymer. A range of translucencies are obtainable by varying the relative amounts of the two copolymers without substantial loss in impact properties.

Translucent thermoplastic composition, method for making the composition and articles molded there from

Polymer composition comprising 50-99% by weight of a thermoplastic resin or a blend of thermoplastic resins, 1-50% by weight of a graft copolymer comprising a rubbery graft base upon which one or more monomers have been grafted, the quantities of (a) and (b) being calculated with respect to the sum of (a) and (b) taken together; and a phosphorescent pigment with an aluminate matrix expressed by M-Al, in which M is at least one metal element selected from calcium, strontium and barium and Al represents an aluminate group. The aluminate group can be for example a Al O -group. The invention also relates to concentrates that are suitable for making the polymer composition of the invention.
