The invention relates generally to a process for the preparation of water-absorbent polymer particles, comprising the process steps including of drying the polymer gel particles wherein in process step (viii) the gel particles obtained in process step (vii) are charged onto the surface of the belt material of a belt dryer at a position L.sub.0 and are subsequently dried on their way through the belt dryer and wherein the belt material has been cooled before coming into contact with the gel particles. The invention also relates to water-absorbent polymer particles obtainable by such a process.

Provided are constituent particles containing a water-soluble material with high flowability in the form of powder, the constituent particles being capable of forming a support member that can be removed with a water-containing solvent in a process for producing a three-dimensional object. The constituent particles used for the production of a three-dimensional object each include a core and a shell that covers at least part of a surface of the core, the core containing a water-soluble material most abundantly, and a material contained in the shell most abundantly having a lower water solubility than the water-soluble material contained in the core.

The present invention relates to a curable composition comprising an ethylenically unsaturated compound and a specific photoinitiator having dual initiation mechanisms. The invention also relates to a process for the preparation of a cured product, in particular a 3D-printed article, with this composition and to the use of this composition for obtaining an ink, a coating, a sealant, an adhesive, a molded article or a 3D-printed article. The invention further pertains to the use of a specific phosphine oxide photoinitiator in a 3D printing composition or 3D printing process.

A composite may include polylactic acid, polyethylene, and optionally a compatibilizer. The composite may be formed by combining the polylactic acid with the polyethylene. The composite may be formed into an extruded article.

The disclosure generally relates to polishing pads, methods of manufacturing polishing pads, and formulations for manufacturing polishing pads, and more particularly, to polishing pads used for chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) of a substrate in electronic device processing. In one aspect, a photocurable printing composition containing photopolymerizable compounds and photopolymerization initiator is provided. The photocurable printing composition comprises a urethane acrylate oligomer having a functionality of 2 or more, a nominal viscosity greater than 20,000 cP at 60 degrees Celsius, and a glass transition temperature (Tg) of ?4 degrees Celsius or greater, the urethane acrylate oligomer present from about 20% to about 60% by weight based on a total weight of the photopolymerizable compounds. The photocurable printing composition has a viscosity of 20 centipoise or higher at 70 degrees Celsius.

The invention relates to a process for the production of mold-foamed poly(meth)acrylimide (P(M)I) cores, in particular of polymethacrylimide (PMI) cores, which can be used by way of example in automobile construction or aircraft construction. A feature of this process is that polymer granules or polymer powder preheated under pressure are moreover charged under pressure to a compression mold where they are foamed with depressurization. In particular, a feature of the process is that it optionally uses a preferably two-shell compression mold for the heating and also for the cooling of the granules and, respectively, the rigid foam core formed therefrom.

A method of edge sealing for a secondary lithium battery, including: (1) drawing a 3D model of a battery edge of a secondary lithium battery, and inputting it into a 3D printer; (2) positioning the secondary lithium battery in a 3D printing area, and fixing a relative position of the secondary lithium battery in the 3D printing area; (3) stimulating, by the 3D printer, the battery edge according to the 3D model and setting a printing path; (4) adding edge sealing glue in a printing head of the 3D printer, the printing head moves according to the set printing path and meantime performs at least one time of printing, so that printed edge sealing glue covers the battery edge; (5) solidifying the edge sealing glue. The method of edge sealing of this application has broader application, which can be applied to batteries of any shape.

A polymer blend comprising from 20 to 90 parts by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer blend, polyvinyl chloride resin; and from 10 to 80 parts by weight, based on the total weight of the polymer blend, a flexible acrylic polymer is provided. Also provided are films or sheets or pipe made from the polymer blend, a capstock made from the film and a method for preparing a film.

A molded lens assembly includes a cover and at least four molded elongated features. The cover may have a substantially planar portion and side portions extending away perpendicularly at a periphery of the substantially planar portion and defining an inner surface of the substantially planar portion. The at least four molded elongated features generally extend away from the inner surface of the substantially planar portion and are arranged such that a long axis of each of the molded elongated features is aligned with a side of a polygon having a number of sides equal to the number of molded elongated features. Each molded elongated feature generally includes a first convex lens portion at a first end and a second convex lens portion at a second end.
