An acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive composition is provided. The acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive composition, due to pH-dependent properties, exhibits stable adhesion when attached to an adherend, but when it needs to be removed, it can be easily removed without residue using an alkaline solution. Thus, if the acrylic emulsion pressure sensitive adhesive composition is used as a pressure sensitive adhesive for a label of a plastic packaging article, the label can be easily removed during a recycling process, thus improving recycling efficiency.

Provided herein are polyesters that comprise (i) monomer units derived from sugar-based bicyclic diol; (ii) monomer units derived from an unsaturated aliphatic diacid; and (iii) monomer units derived from a saturated aliphatic diacid. The monomer units derived from the ethylenically unsaturated aliphatic diacid can be present in an amount of from greater than 0 mole % to 40 mole % of the polyester. These polyesters can be formed into articles using additive manufacturing methods. The resulting articles can be biocompatible, resorbable over a span of from 3 months to 12 months following implantation in the human body, and can exhibit desirable mechanical properties for applications, including porosity and elasticity.

The present invention relates to curable compositions comprising at least one compound of the formula (1): ##STR00001## wherein R is C1-C10 alkyl, and R.sup.1-R.sup.10 each are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen and C1-C10 alkyl, with the proviso that at least one of R.sup.1-R.sup.10 is alkyl, and wherein the substitution patterns formed by the residues R.sup.1-R.sup.5 and R.sup.6-R.sup.10 on each of the aromatic rings are different from each other, cured compositions obtained from such curable compositions, mixtures of compounds of the formula (I), the use of such compounds and mixtures of such compounds as a UV stabilizer in curable compositions, and a process for the manufacture of curable compositions comprising a UV stabilizer of the formula (1).

The present invention describes an oligomer for use as a UV stabiliser. In particular, the oligomer is suitable for use as a UV stabiliser in a polymer matrix. The present invention also describes a method of forming said oligomer. The method of forming said oligomer comprises a polymerising step, wherein the polymerising step comprises forming a C—C bond on the hydroxyphenyl ring of a monomer. In preferred embodiments, the oligomer is formed from polymerizing bio-derived monomer such as curcumin, its hydrogenated analogue, and an aldol condensation product of cyclic ketone and vanillin.
