This invention provides flame retardant compositions comprised of or formed from components comprising a sulfur-containing compound and at least one isocyanate-reactive brominated flame retardant.

A foamed sheet including: a polylactic acid; and a filler, wherein the foamed sheet has a compressive stress of 0.2 Mpa or less when the cushioning coefficient of the foamed sheet is 10 or less; and wherein the foamed sheet has a puncture strength of 2 N or more when the sheet thickness of the foamed sheet is 2 mm.

Reversibly cross-linkable foam is provided. The reversibly cross-linked foam includes a first polymeric material, at least one reversibly cross-linkable monomer polymerized with the first polymeric material, and at least one blowing agent. The reversibly cross-linkable co-polymeric foam is thermally stable at temperatures of at least 10 degrees higher than otherwise identical polymeric foam that does not include the reversibly cross-linkable agent polymerized with the first polymeric material.

The present disclosure relates to an expanded foam solution for forming a thermosetting expanded foam having excellent flame retardancy produced using the same. According to the present disclosure, nanoclay is mixed with a polyol-based compound using ultrasonic waves, an isocyanate-based compound is added, and a trimerization catalyst or an isocyanurate compound is mixed with the polyol-based compound so that an isocyanurate structure is formed.

A plastic article made of a plastic material with metal antibacterial components and macroscopic-sized marker flakes dispersed in the plastic material.

A polyimide precursor solution includes an aqueous solution that contains water; a resin particle that does not dissolve in the aqueous solution; inorganic particles that have a volume average particle diameter within a range of 0.001 m to 0.2 m; and a polyimide precursor.

Provided herein are improved compositions and methods of making and using the same, the composition comprising a polymer and a ceramic present at a ratio of from 3:1 to 1:3 of polymer:ceramic by weight, wherein the composition comprises or is a composite of the polymer and the ceramic having improved printability and/or having an improved elastic modulus and/or improved stress at failure (e.g., as compared to a blend of the polymer and the ceramic).

The present application provides an anti-reflectance film and a display device. The display device includes a display panel and the anti-reflectance film located on a light-emitting side of the display panel. The anti-reflectance film includes a substrate, a transition layer, and an anti-reflectance layer. The transition layer is located on a side of the substrate. The anti-reflectance layer is located on a side of the transition layer away from the substrate. A refractive index of the transition layer is greater than a refractive index of the substrate.

A composite material is provided. In some aspects, the composite material may include a combination of a thermoplastic resin mixed with a polypropylene-graft-maleic anhydride (PPgMA). Carbon particles may be mixed in the combination. In this way, the composite material may include between 80 wt. % and 90 wt. % of the thermoplastic resin, between 0.5 wt. % and 15 wt. % of PPgMA, and between 0.1 wt. % to 7 wt. % of carbon particles. Carbon particles may have exposed carbon surfaces with carbon atoms bonded to molecular sites on adjacent PPgMA molecules. At least some carbon atoms may be oxidized with one or more of oxygen-containing groups. Oxidation of carbon atoms may be associated with an increase in at least some PPgMA molecules chemically bonding with adjacent carbon atoms per unit volume. In this way, interaction between carbon atoms and PPgMA molecules may maintain composite material density within +/?3% of thermoplastic resin density.

Minimum Federal Safety Standards for corrosion control on buried oil and natural gas pipelines stipulate that metallic pipes should be properly coated and have impressed-current cathodic protection (ICCP) systems in place to control the electrical potential field around susceptible pipes. In certain examples described herein, electrically-conductive nanocomposites can be used and provide intrinsically-safe foam materials without the dielectric shielding issues of existing materials used to physically protect and stabilize buried pipelines. As cured or formed by customary spray applications, the nanocomposite foams described herein are directly compatible with ICCP functionality wherever foam contacts the metallic pipe. Various foam compositions and their use with underground pipelines are described.
