International Classification:

C08F 8/00

US Classification:

525192, 525195

Abstract:

A cross-metathesized product mixture is prepared by contacting a metathesis catalyst under metathesis conditions with a composition comprising two or more chemically distinguishable ethylenically unsaturated polymers, at least one of said ethylenically unsaturated polymers (first polymer) having from 0. 001 to 50 mole percent unsaturation and at least one other of said ethylenically unsaturated polymers (second polymer) being an amorphous polymer having a Tg less than 0 C. and having from 0. 001 to 5 mole percent unsaturation.

US Classification:

525195, 525192, 526171, 526170, 526172

Abstract:

Meta-block copolymers and a process for preparing a product mixture comprising meta-block copolymers by contacting a metathesis catalyst under metathesis conditions with a composition comprising two or more ethylenically unsaturated polymers, said unsaturation defining one or more polymer segments in each ethylenically unsaturated polymer, at least one polymer segment in at least one ethylenically unsaturated polymer being chemically distinguishable from at least one polymer segment in at least one other ethylenically unsaturated polymer, characterized in that each meta-block copolymer in the product mixture comprises a random distribution of said chemically distinguishable polymer blocks.

International Classification:

B05D003/02
B05D001/36

US Classification:

427/372200, 427/402000

Abstract:

The present invention is a method which provides flexibility and convenience in integration of porous dielectric materials without any substantial sacrifice in quality of the porous dielectric material formed during the process. This method enables one to create multilayer stacks that include embedded porous layers without having to remove the substrate being coated from the spin track between applications of the various layers and without deterioration in pore morphology in the porous layers.

International Classification:

D01D 516
D01F 622

US Classification:

2642107

Abstract:

Fibers of syndiotactic vinylaromatic polymers are prepared in an improved process comprising: A) heating the polymer to a temperature above its crystalline melting point; B) extruding the molten polymer through a multiplicity of orifices in a spinnerette to form fibers; C) drawing the fibers at a spin/draw ratio from 120:1 to 5000:1; and D) cooling the fibers to ambient temperature.
