Stretchable, multilayer films are disclosed that include a thermoplastic polyurethane substrate and a thermoset coating, applied to the thermoplastic polyurethane substrate. The thermoset coating may comprise the reaction product of: an oligomeric polyester resin comprising the reaction product of: diols or polyols comprising from about 30 to about 99 mol % trimethylolpropane and from about 1 mol % to about 70 mol % neopentyl glycol, in each case based on the total molar amount of diols and polyols reacted, and dicarboxylic acids or polycarboxylic acids comprising from about 1 mol % to about 70 mol % of one or more cyclic or acyclic aliphatic acids having from 2 to 12 carbons, based on the total molar amount of dicarboxylic acids and polycarboxylic acids reacted.

Stretchable multilayer films

Provided is an optically clear protective cover plate for Human Machine Interface (HMI) touch panel displays wherein the cover plate is formed from a thermoplastic polymer comprising a high melt flow polycarbonate. The polycarbonate is characterized by a melt flow rate (MFR), or melt flow index (MFI), of between about 60 and about 80 g/10 min (ASTM D-1238, 300° C./1.2 kg).

HMI display covers having low birefringence

The present application discloses cellulose ester compositions that are plasticizer free that can be processed at higher temperatures with reduced degradation. The cellulose ester compositions disclosed are useful for the preparation of articles, for example eyeglass frames, automotive parts, and toys.

Thermally stable cellulose ester compositions and articles made using these compositions

A cellulose ester composition is provided comprising at least one cellulose ester and at least one impact modifier and optionally at least one plasticizer. Processes for producing the cellulose ester compositions as well as articles made using these compositions, such as eyeglass frames, automotive parts, and toys are also provided.

Cellulose ester and impact modifier compositions and articles made using these compositions

A cellulose ester composition is provided comprising at least one cellulose ester, at least one polymeric aliphatic polyester, at least one impact modifier, and at least one monomeric plasticizer. Processes for producing the cellulose ester compositions as well as articles made using these compositions, such as eyeglass or sunglass frames and/or lenses, are also provided.

Cellulose ester and polymeric aliphatic polyester compositions and articles

A shaped article comprising a polymer-based resin derived from cellulose, wherein the polymer-based resin has an HDT of at least 95&#xb0; C., a bio-derived content of at least 20 wt %, a notched izod impact strength of greater than 80 J/m and at least one of the following properties chosen from: flexural modulus of greater than 1900 MPa; a spiral flow length or at least 3.0 cm; a flex creep deflection of less than 12 mm; a transmission of at least 70%; a &#x394;E value of less than 25; or an L* color of at least 85.

Polymer-based resin compositions derived from cellulose and articles made using these compositions

A cellulose ester composition is provided comprising at least one cellulose ester and at least one polymeric aliphatic polyester (PAP), and optionally at least one impact modifier and/or at least one monomeric plasticizer. Processes for producing the cellulose ester compositions as well as articles made using these compositions are also provided.

A copolyester resin composition is described. The copolyester resin composition includes a linear copolyester polymer and a linear copolyester oligomer. A particularly suitable linear copolyester oligomer is an intermediate of the copolyester polymer. The composition exhibits improved melt flowability and is therefore particularly useful in the manufacture of products made via injection molding methods. A process for forming the composition is also described.

Copolyester resin composition with improved melt flow properties

Thermoplastic polymer compositions having enhanced properties, as well as methods of making and using the same, are provided. Thermoplastic polymers according to some aspects of the present invention may be rigid, but may also be suitable for use in applications requiring a thermoplastic polymer resin. Thermoplastic polymers according to various aspects of the present invention may be useful in preparing shaped articles such as, for example, sheets, films, tubes, preforms, bottles, profiles, and other similar articles.

Isocyanate-modified rigid thermoplastic polymer compositions

A cellulose ester composition is provided comprising at least one cellulose ester and at least one ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer and optionally at least one plasticizer. Processes for producing the cellulose ester compositions as well as articles made using these compositions, such as eyeglass frames, automotive parts, and toys are also provided.
