A composition for an enteric hard capsule by taking advantage of conventionally unknown thermal gelation characteristics of a neutralized aqueous solution of an enteric polymer, so as to obtain an enteric capsule having sufficient water and acid resistances. More specifically, the composition has hypromellose acetate succinate having a molar substitution with an acetyl group per anhydroglucose unit of 0.6 to 0.8 and a ratio of the molar substitution with an acetyl group to a molar substitution with a succinyl group per anhydroglucose unit of 2.0 to 4.0, a neutralizer, and water method produces an enteric hard capsule having the steps of: immersing a core pin heated at 50 to 80 C. in the composition, taking the immersed core pin out of the composition, and drying a gel layer of the hypromellose acetate succinate formed on the taken-out core pin.

A method comprising providing an article having a non-zero radius of curvature and a thermoplastic film, moving relatively to each other said thermoplastic film and said article to bring them into contact, applying heat to the thermoplastic film so that the heated thermoplastic film shrinks and takes the shape and curvature of the article, resulting in a thermoformed thermoplastic film, and optionally laminating said thermoformed thermoplastic film on a surface of an optical article by means of a layer of adhesive, said layer of adhesive being positioned between the optical article and the thermoplastic film.

Glasses frame including at least one portion of an electronic device encapsulated inside at least one element of the glasses frame, wherein at least one element of the glasses frame includes a plasticized cellulose acetate mixture, wherein the composition of the mixture provides that at least one portion of the at least one element inside which at least one portion of the electronic device is encapsulated, having at least a negligible mass percentage of at least one solvent.

A polymeric capsule shell of high quality is prepared from an aqueous composition which comprises (A) at least one esterified cellulose ether comprising aliphatic monovalent acyl groups and groups of the formula C(O)RCOOH, R being a divalent aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon group, wherein at least a part of the groups C(O)RCOOH are neutralized with an ammonium salt of carbonic acid, formic acid or acetic acid, and (B) from 0 to 7 weight percent of a non-polymeric plasticizer, based on the weight of the esterified cellulose ether, wherein the weight of said at least one esterified cellulose ether is at least 80 percent of the total polymer weight in the aqueous composition.

The present invention relates to new acid resistant hard pharmaceutical capsules, a process for their manufacture and use of such capsules particularly but not exclusively for oral administration of pharmaceuticals, veterinary products, food and dietary supplements to humans or animals. The capsules of the invention are obtained by aqueous compositions comprising a water soluble film forming polymer and gellan gum in a mutual weight ratio of 4 to 15 weight parts of gellan gum for 100 weight parts of film forming polymer.

A wire grating polarizing film (20) and a manufacturing method therefor, and a display apparatus, wherein the manufacturing method of the wire grating polarizing film (20) comprises: coating a mixture (100) of a polymer monomer (101) and metal particles (102) on the surface of an underlayer substrate (01); curing the mixture (100) at a pre-set position; and forming a wire grating pattern comprising bulges (110) arranged at intervals at the surface of the underlayer substrate (01). The manufacturing method can solve the problems of complex process, large difficulty and high cost in the manufacturing process of the wire grating polarizing film (20).
