Provided are two-component curable compositions and methods thereof. The composition includes a base component comprised of a curable resin and a first compressible filler dispersed therein. The composition further includes a curative component comprised of a curing agent and a second compressible filler dispersed therein. The base and curative components react with each other upon mixing to provide a crosslinked network. When used with automated metering pumps, the compressibility of the base and curing agent components can be matched, allowing for a constant mix ratio despite variability in applied pressure.

The invention provides an olefin-olefinic alcohol copolymer and a preparation method thereof, said copolymer comprising a spherical and/or spherical-like polymer. The copolymer provided by the invention exhibits a good morphology and has good prospects in industrial use.

Perfume microcapsule-containing films, related solutions, and containers including the films (e.g. detergent packets) are disclosed, together with their methods of preparation and use.

Described herein are opaque water-based inks that include water and an opacity-providing polymer component. In one aspect, the opacity providing polymer component is a hollow sphere polymer material. The opacity-providing polymer material may replace all or part of white opacifying pigment material, such as titanium dioxide. Also described herein is a method of opacifying a printing ink by adding hollow sphere resin particles and a colorant to a printing ink that comprises water as a volatile component.

Hollow resin particles, a production process for producing the same and application thereof. The hollow resin particles include a thermoplastic resin shell and a hollow part surrounded by the shell. The thermoplastic resin is a polymer produced from a polymerizable component containing 0.6 to 3.0 wt % of a crosslinkable monomer having at least two polymerizable carbon-carbon double bonds per molecule and 97 to 99.4 wt % of an uncrosslinkable monomer having one polymerizable carbon-carbon double bond per molecule. A blowing agent is encapsulated in the hollow resin particles. The blowing agent contains 50 to 100 wt % of an organic compound having a vapor pressure higher than 100 kPa at 25 C. Further, the encapsulation ratio of the blowing agent ranges from 3 to 13 wt % of the hollow resin particles.

A microcapsule includes a core/shell structure, in which the shell includes a water-soluble polymer and the core includes an organic peroxide. The water-soluble polymer is preferably at least one water-soluble polymer selected from the group consisting of polyvinyl alcohol, gelatin, poly(meth)acrylic acid derivatives, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, and polyethylene oxide. The polyvinyl alcohol is preferably partially saponified polyvinyl alcohol having a degree of saponification of 80% by mole or more and 99.5% by mole or less and an average degree of polymerization of 1,500 or more and 3,500 or less.

Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) strips, configured or adapted for the residue-free and non-destructive removal by which by substantially expanding it in the plane of adhesion, are provided. The PSA strips comprise at least one adhesive compound layer consisting of a PSA compound, constituted by vinyl aromatic block copolymers and one or more adhesive resins, at least 75 wt.-% (relative to the total amount of resin) of a resin being selected that has a DACP (diacetone alcohol cloud point) of greater than 20 C., and a softening point (ring & ball) of greater than or equal to 70 C., and the PSA compound has being foamed.
