Modified thermoplastic hydrocarbon thermoplastic resins are provided, as well as methods of their manufacture and uses thereof in rubber compositions. The modified thermoplastic resins are modified by decreasing the relative quantity of the dimer, trimer, tetramer, and pentamer oligomers as compared to the corresponding unmodified thermoplastic resin polymers, resulting in a product that exhibits a greater shift in the glass transition temperature of the elastomer(s) used in tire formulations. This translates to better viscoelastic predictors of tire tread performance, such as wet grip and rolling resistance. The modified thermoplastic resins impart remarkable properties on various rubber compositions, such as tires, belts, hoses, brakes, and the like. Automobile tires incorporating the modified thermoplastic resins are shown to possess excellent results in balancing the properties of rolling resistance, tire wear, snow performance, and wet braking performance.

A repositionable peel-and-stick embellished wall covering is formed by a process including providing a repositionable peel-and-stick wall covering substrate having one or more layers of material with a front surface and with a self-adhesive backing covered by a peelable backing material; adding a base design to the front surface of the substrate; adding embellishments to the front surface over the base design, the embellishments including at least one of string, grasscloth, beads, or flock; and drying the wall covering.

A labeling system for use with containers, including at least one linerless label, wherein the at least one linerless label is configured to receive printing thereon; a substrate for receiving the label and to which the label becomes permanently bound after the label has been attached to the substrate; at least one adhesive, wherein the adhesive is either substantially dry or tacky prior to being activated; moist or wet after being activated; or wet prior to application, and wherein the adhesive may be deposited on the label or on the substrate prior to attaching the label to the substrate; and where necessary, an activator for activating the adhesive and controlling the rate of drying thereof.

The present invention relates to a midsole material composition, a method for producing the midsole material and a shoe sole. The midsole material composition comprises an elastomer, a thermoplastic polymer, a suitable crosslinker and a catalyst, such that the midsole material of the present invention can be fabricated by subjecting the midsole material composition to a phase-inversion crosslinking reaction and a foaming process. The aforementioned thermoplastic polymer, which is a recyclable material, is inverted into a continuous phase after the phase-inversion crosslinking reaction, thereby enhancing a recycling property of the midsole material and improving a reusability of the shoe sole.

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic hot melt film having excellent adhesive strength in which hydrophobic nanosilica is mixed. The resin composition contains nanosilica having a particle size of 1 to 100 nm and containing hydrophobic functional groups on its surface in the range of 0.1 to 5 phr (Parts per Hundred Resin), and the nanosilica forms nanosilica aggregates with an average size of the aggregates is within 100˜1200 nm. The thickness of the thermoplastic hot melt film is 0.02˜0.3 mm. The thermoplastic hot melt film of the present invention is mixed with nanosilica containing hydrophobic functional groups, lipophilic, on the surface to improve dispersibility, strengthen water resistance, and increase tensile strength. The material cost is reduced while securing one adhesive strength and excellent durability, and multi-press molding is possible, which has the effect of increasing energy saving and productivity.
