The invention relates to the film products and methods of their preparation that demonstrate a non-self-aggregating uniform heterogeneity. Desirably, the films disintegrate in water and may be formed by a controlled drying process, or other process that maintains the required uniformity of the film. The films contain a polymer component, which includes polyethylene oxide optionally blended with hydrophilic cellulosic polymers. Desirably, the films also contain a pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic active agent with no more than a 10% variance of the active agent pharmaceutical and/or cosmetic active agent per unit area of the film.

An article comprises a laminate with a layer comprising a first latex composition containing a cross-linker component selected from sulfur, organic peroxide, vulcanizing activators, and vulcanizing accelerator; and a second layer comprising a second latex composition free of the cross-linker component. The laminate is formed by dipping a mold into the first latex composition then into the second latex composition forming a laminated film, then curing the laminated film by heating to a temperature between 90° C. to 140° C. Lastly, the laminated film is removed from the mold via inversion such that the second layer is inwards and the first layer is outwards.

An organic peroxide composition is provided which is liquid or near liquid at 25° C. or a low melting solid and which includes at least one ethylenically unsaturated organic peroxide (i.e., an organic peroxide containing at least one carbon-carbon double bond) and at least one saturated organic peroxide. The organic peroxide composition may further include at least one mono- and/or poly-unsaturated compound and at least one free-radical trap. The organic peroxide can be blended into a polymer such as a powdered or granular polyethylene resin. This peroxide-containing polymer can be used in rotational molding, wherein the polymer is added to a mold which is heated in an oven with rotation, thereby melting the polymer and coating the inside of the mold.

A latex of a styrene-based block copolymer includes a styrene-based block copolymer and water. The styrene-based block copolymer includes a toluene insoluble content of 30 to 95 wt %. The latex of the styrene-based block copolymer is superior in the processability and can provide a molded film such as a dip-molded product having the high tear strength, the high stress retention and the soft texture.

A latex composition for dip molding includes a carboxylic acid-modified nitrile-based copolymer latex and a cholate-based emulsifier, wherein the cholate-based emulsifier is included in an amount of 0.02 to 3 parts by weight based on a solid content with respect to a solid content of 100 parts by weight of the carboxylic acid-modified nitrile-based copolymer latex. A method of preparing the latex composition for dip molding and a molded article produced using the same are also provided.

Compositions may include a polymer melt blend composition prepared from two polyethylene copolymers having different densities, wherein the polymer melt blend composition possesses improved flowability and impact resistance for low thickness rotomolding applications. Low thickness articles may include a polymer melt blend composition prepared from two polyethylene copolymers having different densities, wherein the articles possess improved finishing properties. Rotomolding processes may include melt blending from two polyethylene copolymers having different densities, pulverizing the melt blend, and rotational molding the composition thereof.

A method for producing a polymer latex includes: a preparation step of reducing the weight average molecular weight of a conjugated diene polymer (A) by 20 to 70 mass %, thereby obtaining an organic solvent solution containing a conjugated diene polymer (B) having a weight average molecular weight lower than that of the conjugated diene polymer (A); and an emulsification step of emulsifying the organic solvent solution in water in the presence of a surfactant, thereby obtaining a polymer latex.

The present invention provides a composite film and a preparation method thereof. The composite film includes polyimide and a dense silica layer formed on a surface of the polyimide.

Disclosed is a latex composition for dip molding including a carboxylic acid-modified nitrile-based copolymer latex satisfying General Formula 1, wherein the carboxylic acid-modified nitrile-based copolymer includes: 15 wt % to 30 wt % of the ethylenic unsaturated nitrile-based monomer-derived unit and 2.5 wt % to 4.5 wt % of the ethylenic unsaturated acid monomer-derived unit, and a molded article:

1.0 mm.sup.2/s≤CV.sub.0≤3.0 mm.sup.2/s.  General Formula 1

A method of forming a microneedle array can include forming a microneedle array having one or more chemotherapeutic agents. The microneedle array can include a base portion and plurality of microneedles extending from the base portion, and the one or more chemotherapeutic agents can be present in a higher concentration in the plurality of microneedles than in the base portion.
