This invention relates to a process for the continuous production of polyether polyols, polyether polyols produced by the inventive continuous process and their use in polyurethane applications.

This invention relates to a polyol component P), to a process for preparing rigid polyurethane foams by using said polyol component P) and also to the rigid polyurethane foams themselves.

A coated food or beverage contact article that has been or will be formed into a food or beverage container or container component, a method for making such containers or container components, coating compositions and polymers for use in such article or method. The coating composition comprises a polymer derived from or derivable from a polyphenol having two or more phenylene rings linked to or through an aliphatic or cycloaliphatic group or groups, wherein the polyphenol is a reaction product of a monophenol with a polyolefinic terpene. The polyphenol may be a diphenol and a reaction product of a monophenol with a diolefinic terpene. The terpene may be a cyclic terpene.

An object of the present disclosure is to provide a polyphenylene ether with excellent solubility in general-purpose aromatic solvents and general-purpose ketone-based solvents and a production method of the same. A polyphenylene ether containing a repeating unit derived from the phenol of the formula (1), a method for producing the same, a thermosetting composition, a prepreg, and a laminate are provided.

This invention relates to a polyol component P), to a process for preparing rigid polyurethane foams by using said polyol component P) and also to the rigid polyurethane foams themselves.

A process for polymerizing an epoxide monomer, preferably ethylene oxide, comprising carrying out the process in the presence of a catalytically active amount of a catalyst obtainable by a preparation process comprising admixing at least one alkaline earth metal, liquid ammonia, an alkylene oxide, which is optionally substituted by aromatic radicals, and an organic nitrile having at least one acidic hydrogen atom to prepare a slurry of modified alkaline earth hexammine in liquid ammonia; continuously transferring the slurry of modified alkaline earth hexammine in liquid ammonia into a stripper vessel and continuously evaporating ammonia, thereby accumulating the modified catalyst in the stripper vessel; and upon complete transfer of the slurry of modified alkaline earth hexammine into the stripper vessel, aging the modified catalyst to obtain the final polymerization catalyst; and a polymer obtainable by this process.

The present invention relates to a shape-memory polymer having a 6-arm structure and use thereof. The shape-memory polymer according to the present invention exhibits shape-memory properties by cross-linking, can control temperature for shape restoration through monomer control and has biocompatibility. As a material, it can be developed into a medical material such as a support for the outer wall of blood vessels.
