Polyester-based films contain certain copolyesters (A) and polyester plasticizers (B). The copolyesters (A) may be selected from those in which the force required to stretch a film of the copolyester (A) by itself, from 2&#xd7; to 5&#xd7;, increases by less than 200%. The polyester plasticizers (B) have a weight-average molecular weight of 900 to 12,000 g/mol, and contain (i) a diol component comprising residues of diols having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and (ii) a diacid component comprising residues of dicarboxylic acids having 4 to 12 carbon atoms. These polyester-based films are particularly useful for preparing ultra-thin LCD or OLED polarizers, because they can be stretched very thin with a high stretch ratio at lower temperatures.

Copolyesters plasticized with polymeric plasticizer

An interlayer comprising a first polymer layer, a polarization rotary optical film and optionally a second polymer layer, and multiple layer panels formed from such interlayers. The panels may exhibit desirable optical properties, including, for example, less image 'ghosting,' when used as part of a heads-up-display (HUD) display panel for use in automotive and aircraft applications.

Interlayers comprising optical films having enhanced optical properties

Disclosed is a shrink film containing a copolyester having a minimum crystallization half-time of at least 8.6 minutes and a polyester plasticizer having a weight-average molecular weight of 900 to 12,000 g/mol. The polyester plasticizer includes (i) a polyol component comprising residues of a polyol having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and (ii) a diacid component comprising residues of a dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 12 carbon atoms.

The polyester plasticizer includes (i) a polyol component comprising residues of a polyol having 2 to 8 carbon atoms, and (ii) a diacid component comprising residues of a dicarboxylic acid having 4 to 12 carbon atoms.

Herein disclosed are s extruded and multilayer films suitable for use as a substrate for printed circuits that afford the simultaneous achievement of both excellent mechanical properties, printability and ink curing stability, flexability and stretchability, and electronic performance. The films can be prepared from cycloaliphatic polymers and polyester elastomers.

Multilayer stretchable films for flexible printed circuits and methods of making

Storage-stable acrylate-functional alkyd resin compositions are disclosed that include an acrylate-functional alkyd resin and a monofunctional mercaptan such as a chain transfer agent. The compositions disclosed exhibit excellent stability on storage, and have utility as binders for coating compositions useful as low VOC, quick dry paints.
