An anti-glare film is disclosed. The anti-glare film comprises a transparent substrate and an anti-glare layer comprising an acrylic binder resin, a polyether-modified siloxane and a plurality of silica nanoparticles, wherein the silica nanoparticles are flocculated into a micro-floccule with an average secondary particle diameter of 1,500 nm to 3,100 nm. The present anti-glare film can provide a reliable anti-glare property with low haze and fine surface.

The present disclosure discloses Stenotrophomonas pavanii capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate, belonging to the technical field of microorganisms. The present disclosure provides a S. pavanii strain JWG-G1 capable of degrading polyethylene terephthalate (PET). After a seed solution of the S. pavanii is inoculated into an inorganic salt liquid medium containing 2 g/L polyethylene terephthalate at an inoculum size of 10% (v/v) and cultured for 5 d, polyethylene terephthalate (PET) particles can be partially degraded into monohydroxyethyl terephthalate and terephthalic acid that can be directly recycled. In addition, ester bond functional groups on the surface of the polyethylene terephthalate plastic particles can be reduced, and a weight loss rate of the polyethylene terephthalate plastic particles can reach 9.4%. Therefore, the S. pavanii JWG-G1 of the present disclosure has very high application prospects in the degradation of polyethylene terephthalate.

Packaging film with a coefficient of static friction >5 comprising: (i) a biodegradable polyester with a melt strength of 0.7-4 g and comprising units of at least one dicarboxylic acid and at least one diol, and (ii) an anti-fogging agent selected from the esters of a polyfunctional alcohol, provided that the ester is not a stearate.

A method for manufacturing a polyester film for embossing that is made from a recycled polyester material. A part of the recycled polyester material is physically reproduced to obtain physically regenerated polyester chips. The physically regenerated polyester chips include physically regenerated regular polyester chips. Another part of the recycled polyester material is chemically reproduced to obtain chemically regenerated polyester chips. The chemically regenerated polyester chips include chemically regenerated regular polyester chips and chemically regenerated electrostatic pinning polyester chips. The physically regenerated polyester chips and the chemically regenerated polyester chips are mixed to form a base material. The base material is used to form a base layer that having a main component of regenerated polyethylene terephthalate. A surface coating layer is formed onto the base layer. A material of the surface coating layer includes a main resin, fillers, and melamine.

Processes and facilities for using one or more PET-containing materials as a feedstock to a chemical recycling facility, and in particular a solvolysis facility, are provided herein. The PET-containing materials used as feedstock may comprise a quantity of PET-containing dry fines. The PET-containing dry fines may be derived from various processes and facilities, including PET reclaimer facilities and/or manufacturers of PET articles. For example, the dry fines may be collected from solid-liquid separators and/or dust collectors from processes that include conveying, drying, densification, centrifugation processes, and/or grinding PET-containing plastic material. Such dry fines are generally undesirable or unusable to mechanical PET recycling facilities, and typically are sent to landfills and/or incinerators. However, the processes and facilities described herein make use of the PET and other plastics present in these otherwise undesirable or unusable dry fines.

The present invention relates to an antireflection film. The antireflection film includes a low refractive index layer having excellent alkali resistance and exhibiting remarkably improved mechanical properties such as scratch resistance and impact resistance as well as reduction of a glare phenomenon, and a base film exhibiting excellent mechanical strength and water resistance in spite of a thin thickness and having no fear of interference fringes occurring. Therefore, such antireflection film can be used as a protective film of a polarizing plate or used as any other component so as to provide a thin display device, and furthermore, can effectively prevent the glare phenomenon of the display device, and can more improve the durability and lifespan thereof.

Provided herein are antimicrobial coating compositions and food packaging materials coated therewith. The coating compositions include at least one antimicrobial active agent and a hydrophilic polymer, such that the active agent is immobilized within the composition.

The embodiments relate to a polyester film, which comprises a copolymerized polyester resin comprising a diol component and a dicarboxylic acid component and has a heat shrinkage rate of 30% or more in the main shrinkage direction upon thermal treatment at a temperature of 80° C. for 10 seconds and a melting point of 170° C. or higher as measured by differential scanning calorimetry, which not only solve the environmental problems by improving the recyclability of the polyester container, but also are capable of enhancing the yield and productivity, and a process for regenerating a polyester container using the same.

In the polyester film according to an embodiment, the strain with respect to tensile load and the crystallinity are adjusted to specific ranges, whereby it is possible to achieve the flexibility that does not cause deformation even when a certain load is sustained for a long period of time and the resistant characteristics to the impact of external pressing. Accordingly, the polyester film can be applied to a cover of a flexible display device, in particular, a foldable display device to exhibit excellent characteristics.

The present invention relates to novel esterases, more particularly to esterase variants having improved activity and/or improved thermostability compared to the esterase of SEQ ID NO: 1 and the uses thereof for degrading polyester containing material, such as plastic products. The esterases of the invention are particularly suited to degrade polyethylene terephthalate, and material containing polyethylene terephthalate.
