The instant invention generally provides polymer microfiller composite comprising a molecularly self-assembling material and a microfiller, and a process of making and an article comprising the polymer microfiller composite.

Polymer microfiller composites

The present invention generally relates to solution electrospinning processes for fabricating fibers, to the fibers prepared thereby, and to non-woven webs, fabrics, porous composite filter media, and articles comprising the fibers.

High-output solvent-based electrospinning

The present invention generally relates to a poly(bisoxalamide) and a process for preparing and article comprising the poly(bisoxalamide).

Poly(bisoxalamides)

Polyesteramides prepared from decreased perfection diamide diester monomers. The polymers exhibit improved physical properties.

Copolyesteramides with decreased perfection of the amide sequence

This invention is a method for fabricating fibers by melt-blowing a melt of a molecularly self-assembling material, the melt being at a temperature of from 130&#xb0; C. to 220&#xb0; C., thereby forming a fiber set having a distribution of fiber diameters wherein at least 95% of the fibers have a diameter of less than about 3 microns. The invention further comprises collecting the fiber set so as to form a fibrous non-woven web.

Process for producing micron and submicron fibers and nonwoven webs by melt blowing

The invention is a method for increasing the molecular weight of and optionally providing branching in a polymer which has a first repeat unit, which comprises the residual of a condensation reaction of an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and either a bisamide diol or a bis diamide diester, and a second repeat unit, which comprises the residual of a condensation reaction of a diol and an aliphatic dicarboxylic acid. The invention is also the branched polymer that can be made by such a method.

Aliphatic polyester-amide compositions and a process for producing the same

A latex or fiber comprising a blend of polymeric materials consisting of one or more &agr;-olefin/ vinylidene monomer non-crosslinked substantially random interpolymers, wherein the distribution of the monomers of said interpolymers can be described by the Bernoulli statistical model or by a first or second order Markovian statistical model, and one or more homopolymers or copolymers of monomer components comprising aliphatic &agr;-olefins having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, or aliphatic &agr;-olefins having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms and containing polar groups.

Blends of &agr;-olefin/vinylidene aromatic monomer or hindered aliphatic vinylidene monomer interpolymers with polyolefins

A foam comprising a blend of polymeric materials consisting of one or more &agr;-olefin/vinylidene monomer non-crosslinked substantially random interpolymers, wherein the distribution of the monomers of said interpolymers can be described by the Bernoulli statistical model or by a first or second order Markovian statistical model, and one or more homopolymers or copolymers of monomer components comprising aliphatic &agr;-olefins having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms, or aliphatic &agr;-olefins having from 2 to 20 carbon atoms and containing polar groups.

Process for preparing polyurethane elastomer from a soft-segment

This invention relates to elastomeric polyisocyanate-based polymers, particularly polyurethane elastomeric polymers, prepared from polyol compositions comprising a polyoxyalkylene polyol having a hydroxyl equivalent weight of from about 800 to about 3000 and containing from 10 to 40 weight percent polymerized ethylene oxide wherein the ethylene oxide is distributed as a plurality of internal polyoxyethylene blocks having a molecular weight of from about 176 to about 600, and a polyoxyethylene cap use of such polyols. Polyols provides for polymers exhibiting desirable physical properties including good abrasion wear resistance.
