The present invention relates to a liquid composition comprising a monomer, a (meth)acrylic polymer and at least one flame-retardant substance (FD1) chosen from a phosphorus-based additive. In particular the present invention it relates to a liquid composition comprising a monomer, a (meth)acrylic polymer and at least one flame-retardant substance (FD1) chosen from a phosphorus-based additive that can be used as a syrup and especially as a syrup for impregnation and for the preparation for improving the fire resistance of a thermoplastic polymer or matrix obtained after polymerization of the syrup. Also concerned is a thermoplastic material obtained after polymerization of the liquid composition or syrup. The invention also relates to a process for manufacturing such a liquid composition or syrup. The invention also relates to a process for impregnating a fibrous substrate of long fibers with said liquid composition or syrup. The invention also relates to a fibrous substrate preimpregnated with said liquid composition or syrup which is useful for manufacturing composite parts. The present invention also relates to a process for manufacturing mechanical parts or structural elements made of composite material and to mechanical parts or structural elements made of composite material obtained via a process using such a liquid composition.

A thermoplastic resin composition, containing a thermoplastic synthetic resin, a cellulose in the content of 10 to 70 parts by mass with respect to 100 parts by mass of the thermoplastic synthetic resin, and an organic peroxide, in which the tensile strength of a resin composed of the thermoplastic resin composition measured in conformity with JIS K7161 is 40 MPa or more; a cellulose-reinforced thermoplastic resin composition; a molded article of a cellulose-reinforced resin; and a method of producing a cellulose-reinforced thermoplastic resin composition or a molded article.

A solvent composition includes an organic solvent including one or more organic solvents (A) and one or more organic solvents (B), and one or more types of core-shell polymer particles each comprising a core layer and a shell layer. The organic sol vents (A) have a polar teen δp of a Hansen solubility parameter of less than 11 and a hydrogen bond term δh of less than 10, and the organic solvents (B) satisfy at least one of 11 or more of the polar term δp or 10 or more of the hydrogen bond term δh. A weight ratio of (A) to (B) ranges from 15:85 to 95:5. Based on a total weight of the solvent composition, a content of the core-shell polymer particles is 20 to 40% by weight and a water content is 1% by weight or less.

The present invention relates to an aqueous dispersion of polymeric microspheres with a high surface Young's modulus and a relatively low core Young's modulus. The dispersion of the present invention is useful in paint formulations for providing improving hydrophobic stain resistance, for example, resistance to lipstick.
