A binder composition for a non-aqueous secondary battery contains water-soluble macromolecules, water, and a particulate polymer formed of a polymer that includes a block region formed of an aromatic vinyl monomer unit. Surface acid content A of the particulate polymer is 0.05 mmol/g or more, acid content B in an aqueous phase of the binder composition per 1 g of the particulate polymer is not less than 0.03 mmol/g and not more than 0.80 mmol/g, and a ratio (A/B) of the surface acid content A of the particulate polymer and the acid content B in the aqueous phase of the binder composition is not less than 0.5 and not more than 5.0.

An additive manufacturing composition useful as a support material for common build materials (e.g., polyamide or polyester) is comprised of a blend of an elastomer toughened styrenic polymer having discreet domains of polymerized conjugate diene dispersed within a styrenic matrix and a vinyl aromatic-maleic anhydride copolymer. The composition may be used as a support material in additive manufacturing methods such as extrusion methods (e.g., fused filament fabrication). The compositions may be tuned to realize the desired adherence to facilitate the desired support while also allowing for the mechanical removal without breakage of the underlying part or residual adhered support material.

[Problem] Provided is a resin composition capable of producing a film having an excellent gas-barrier property and a small variation in thickness.

[Solution] The resin composition comprises (A) an EVOH-based resin in an amount of at least 40% by weight but 99% by weight or less, (B) a PVA-based resin (B), and (C) an acid-modified polyolefin. The resin composition contains at most 1% of volatile content. The component (B) is preferably a PVA-based resin having a primary hydroxyl group in the side chain.

The present invention provides a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive being highly environmentally-friendly, as well having sufficient adhesion, thermal stability and coating performance, and also having an excellent hand-peeling property and alkali-peeling property. The present invention relates to a hot melt pressure-sensitive adhesive for labeling comprising: (A) a polar functional group-modified conjugated diene-based polymer, (B) an aliphatic polyester-based resin, and (C) a tackifier resin.

A transparent, heat-sealable coating for transparent PET packaging foils can be provided by using a heat-sealable lacquer based on styrene-containing copolymers, on poly(meth)acrylates, on at least one polyester and optionally on a tackifier, and also the process for the sealing of a foil coated with this lacquer. It is surprising here that, despite the use of a rubber based on styrene-containing polymers that is not optically compatible with polyesters and polymethacrylate, the transparency of the heat-sealable coatings is still very high.

The present invention relates to a thermoplastic composition, a thermoplastic composite, and a method for producing the thermoplastic composite. In the method for producing the thermoplastic composite, a polymer, an acid-modified lignin with a specific element content and a compatibilizer with a specific melt flow index and a specific maleic anhydride content are used to produce the thermoplastic composite. Hydroxy groups of the acid-modified lignin react with maleic anhydride groups of the compatibilizer to generate ester bonds via an in-situ reaction catalyzed by acidic groups of the acid-modified lignin to enhance compatibility between the polymer and the lignin, thereby increasing a mechanical strength of the resulted thermoplastic composite.
