An ovenware is a molded article of a resin composition containing a liquid crystalline polyester resin, an inorganic filler, and a fatty acid compound, in which, when the ovenware is heated at 250 C., a total generated concentration of notional and decanal derived from the fatty acid compound is 1 vol ppb or less.

A coating composition includes: a polymer prepared from a reaction mixture including: a hydroxyl functional prepolymer comprising a reaction product of a prepolymer mixture and a non-aromatic anhydride. The polymer includes at least two functional groups selected from hydroxyl groups, carboxyl groups and combinations thereof. The polymer includes 10-40 weight % of structural units derived from benzoic acid or substituted benzoic acid and greater than 15 weight % of structural units derived from a polyol having at least three hydroxyl groups based on the total weight of the polymer. A substrate at least partially coated with a coating composition and a method of preparing a coating composition are also disclosed.

An elastomer is provided, which is a product of reacting C.sub.4-12 lactam, poly(C.sub.2-4 alkylene glycol), C.sub.4-12 diacid, and multi-ester aliphatic monomer. The C.sub.4-12 lactam and the poly(C.sub.2-4 alkylene glycol) have a weight ratio of 20:80 to 80:20. The total weight of the C.sub.4-12 lactam and the poly(C.sub.2-4 alkylene glycol) and the weight of the C.sub.4-12 diacid have a ratio of 100:0.5 to 100:10. The total weight of the C.sub.4-12 lactam and the poly(C.sub.2-4 alkylene glycol) and the weight of the multi-ester aliphatic monomer have a ratio of 100:0.01 to 100:5.

The present inventions in various aspects provide elastic biodegradable polymers. In various embodiments, the polymers are formed by the reaction of a multifunctional alcohol or ether and a difunctional or higher order acid to form a pre-polymer, which is cross-linked to form the elastic biodegradable polymer. In preferred embodiments, the cross-linking is performed by functionalization of one or more OR groups on the pre-polymer backbone with vinyl, followed by photopolymerization to form the elastic biodegradable polymer composition or material. Preferably, acrylate is used to add one or more vinyls to the backbone of the pre-polymer to form an acrylated pre-polymer. In various embodiments, acrylated pre-polymers are co-polymerized with one or more acrylated co-polymers.

Embodiments relate to a one-component type paint composition with superior scratch resistance and secures excellent scratch restoring performance by including a resin, a curing agent, a curing catalyst and an organic solvent, whereby the resin includes: 30 to 70 wt % of a carbamate group-containing acrylic polyol resin; and 5 to 25 wt % of a hyperbranched structure carbamate group-containing polyester polyol resin, based on 100 wt % of the paint composition.

The invention relates to a functionalized polymer to which at least one Diels-Alder adduct is covalently bonded, said Diels-Alder adduct containing a furan and a maleimide component and the furan or the maleimide component having a functional organyl group the molar mass of which is less than 800 g/mol.

The application relates to oral care compositions comprising substantive polyesters formed from xylitol, polycarboxylic acids (or esters, acid halides or anhydrides thereof) and optionally arginine. The formed polyesters or polyesteramides are active in biofilm inhibition and dissolution to maintain clean teeth.

The application relates to oral care compositions comprising substantive polyesteramides formed from polyols, polycarboxylic acids (or esters, anhydrides or halides thereof) and arginine. The formed polyesteramides are active in biofilm inhibition, biofilm dissolution and retarding or preventing acid production from oral bacteria.

Flame retardant polyesters obtainable by reacting an aromatic or aliphatic dicarboxylic acid and/or ester of anhydride thereof, with an aliphatic polyol or mixtures thereof and with melamine, are provided. Methods of making said polyesters are also provided.
