The present disclosure provides a molded article composed of a polymeric composition and processes for producing the same. The polymeric composition includes from about 60 wt % to about 99 wt % of a matrix of a propylene-based polymer. The propylene-based polymer has a refractive index (n1). The polymeric composition also includes from about 40 wt % to about 1 wt % of elongated elastomer particles dispersed in the propylene-based polymer. The elongated elastomer particles have a refractive index (n2). The propylene-based polymer and the elongated elastomer particles exhibit a refractive index mismatch whereby |n1&#x2212;n2|&#x3e;0.002. The molded article has a haze value less than about 20% and optionally a viscosity ratio (VR) greater than 0.28.

A water soluble polymer comprising a copolyhydroxyaminoether having side-chains of polyalkylene oxides, an aqueous solution of said polymer and process for preparing the copolyhydroxyaminoether.

Water soluble co-polyhydroxyaminoether and solution thereof

Process for preparing water-soluble polyhydroxyaminoether

An apparatus and process that makes use of spectral information in the mid-infrared range (400 to 4500 cm) to identify recyclable materials containing barrier polymers from recyclable materials not containing barrier polymers, which includes projecting light containing the mid-infrared (MIR) range onto materials to be analyzed, dispersing the MIR light that has reflected from or passed through the materials or both into various wavelengths, measuring the intensity of the MIR light at least one wavelength responsive to differences between the materials, measuring the intensity of the MIR light at least one wavelength not responsive to differences between the materials in order to provide a reference, and comparing the measurements in order to identify barrier materials from non-barrier materials.

Process and apparatus for spectroscopic identification and sorting of barrier materials

Compositions comprising a blend of an inorganic base, an organic base, a monofunctional organic nucleophile or a multifunctional organic nucleophile and a thermoplastic hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine can be formed into films and laminate structures by using conventional extrusion techniques. Containers and other molded parts can be fabricated from the films or laminate structures by using conventional fabricating techniques for thermoplastic polymers such as compression molding, injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, blow molding and solvent casting.

Thermally stable polyetheramines

A laminate structure comprises one or more layers of an organic polymer and one or more layers of a hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine, wherein the hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine layer is adhered directly to a contiguous organic polymer layer without an adhesive layer therebetween. The hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine is prepared by reacting (1) a difunctional amine with (2) a diglycidyl ether or a diepoxy-functionalized poly(alkylene oxide) under conditions sufficient to cause the amine moieties to react with the epoxy moieties to form a polymer backbone having amine linkages, ether linkages and pendant hydroxyl moieties and then treating the reaction product with a monofunctional nucleophile which is not a primary or secondary amine.

A process for preparing a polyaminopolymer which contains functionality comprises the steps of (a) contacting a polyfunctional amine with an unsaturated alkylating agent under reaction conditions to form an amine/unsaturated alkylating agent adduct; (b) contacting the adduct with a polyfunctional compound such that a polyaminopolymer is formed: (e) contacting the polyaminopolymer with a halogen, hypohalous acid or precursor thereof such that a polyaminopolymer having halohydrin or dihalo functionality is formed, and (d) raising the pH of the polyaminopolymer having halohydrin or vicinal dihalo functionality sufficiently to cause an increase in molecular weight. Alternatively, the invention is a process having steps (a), (b), (c) and optionally (d), but with a step (h) between steps (b) and (c) of contacting the polyaminopolymer with a crosslinking agent therefor having at least two functional groups reactive with amine groups such that a crosslinked polyaminopolymer is formed. Polyaminopolymers so prepared, papers using such polymers, and processes for preparing such papers are novel. The papers preferably have improved wet strength. The polyaminopolymers are useful when dried (especially freeze dried) and redissolved. Certain of the polyamino-polymers have structures of Formula IV:
