The present disclosure relates to a preparation method of a super absorbent polymer containing a novel cross-linking agent compound. The preparation method of a super absorbent polymer of the present disclosure can provide a super absorbent polymer exhibiting excellent absorption properties and an excellent deodorizing effect by including a cross-linking agent with a novel structure. Therefore, according to the present disclosure, since a separate additive for a deodorizing property is not required, processability and economic efficiency of the manufacturing process can be improved.

The invention provides a thermoplastic resin composition, a molded article, and production methods therefor. The thermoplastic resin composition can sufficiently exhibit a cellulose addition effect and impart excellent mechanical strength to the molded article, particularly a foam molded article. More specifically, the invention provides a resin composition and a foam molded article thereof. The resin composition contains: a cellulose fiber (A); an amorphous resin (B) having a glass transition temperature of 160° C. or lower; a crystalline resin (C) having a melting point (melting peak temperature) of 80° C. to 150° C. and a melting start temperature lower than the melting point by 30° C. or more; and a thermoplastic resin (D) having a melting point or a glass transition temperature higher than the melting point of the crystalline resin (C) by 5° C. or more.

A protective window includes a flexible base film and a hard coating layer disposed on the flexible base film. The hard coating layer includes a silicone leveling agent and an inorganic antistatic agent. The coating layer includes an upper area and a lower area disposed between the upper area and the flexible base film, and a density of the inorganic antistatic agent in the lower area is greater than a density of the inorganic antistatic agent in the upper area.

The present disclosure provides methods and processes for the recovery of compounds (e.g., pendant groups) from polymeric materials, as well as methods for recycling and reusing such compounds by synthetically converting a recovered compound to building blocks that can be used in, e.g., curable resins for the fabrication of new devices, such as medical devices (e.g., orthodontic appliances).

The present disclosure describes, in part, an enzyme-mediated radical initiating system and methods of using the system to produce polymers, including polymeric hydrogels, at ambient conditions.

A smart window including a solid polymer film which is opaque at an ambient temperature and transparent at an elevated temperature; a transparent heater to supply uniform heating to at least a part of the solid polymer film; and a power supply connected to the transparent heater.

The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an ionomer resin, comprising the steps of: (i) adding a poor solvent to a crude ionomer resin solution comprising a (meth)acrylic acid unit (A), a neutralized (meth)acrylic acid unit (B) and an ethylene unit (C) to allow a granular resin with a peak top particle size of from 50 to 700 μm to be precipitated; and (ii) washing the precipitated granular resin with a washing solution; wherein the total amount of the unit (A) and the unit (B) is from 6 to 10 mol % based on the entire monomeric units constituting the crude ionomer resin.

A film is described comprises a (meth)acrylic polymer and a polyvinyl acetal (e.g. butyral) resin. In some embodiments, the film has a glass transition temperature (i.e. Tg) ranging from 30° C. to 60° C. In some embodiments, the film has a gel content of at least 20% or greater. In some embodiments, the film has an elongation at break of at least 175%. The film typically comprises photoinitiator as a result of the method by which the film was made. The film may be a monolithic film or a layer of a multilayer film.

The present invention relates to a resin composition including an acrylic polymer (A) and a thermosetting resin (B), wherein a phase separation structure of a first phase containing the acrylic polymer (A) and a second phase containing the thermosetting resin (B) is formed, and an average domain size of the second phase is 20 μm or less.

A process for producing superabsorbents, comprising the steps of i) classifying the superabsorbent particles by means of one or more sieves and ii) removing metallic impurities by means of one or more magnetic separators, wherein classification is accomplished using sieves made of a wire mesh, the wires of the wire mesh consist of a steel composed of at least 70% by weight of iron, at least 10% by weight of chromium and less than 2.5% by weight of nickel, and the throughput of superabsorbent particles in the magnetic separator is in the range from 2.0 to 6.5 g/s per cm.sup.2 of free cross-sectional area.
