The present invention relates to a material suitable for use in packages comprising nano-sized cellulose and an ethylene scavenging or ethylene absorbing agent. The invention also relates to methods for manufacturing such material, which may be paper, label, paperboard, plastic or film products.

Provided is a gas barrier material having superior gas barrier properties. This gas barrier material 1 comprises a matrix resin 2, and a carbon material 3 disposed in the matrix resin 2, wherein the carbon material 3 contains a partially exfoliated graphite having a structure in which graphite is partially exfoliated.

This invention relates to the preparation of a dynamically vulcanized alloy comprising at least one elastomer, at least one thermoplastic resin, a nanofiller, and an ethylene copolymer resin.

There is provided a method of forming a metallized polymeric film comprising (1) coating a polymer film with an aqueous primer solution comprising a solution of at least one polyanion and at least one polyethyleneimine, wherein the polyanion is a polymer comprising at least partially neutralized acid groups having a weight average molecular weight of preferably at least 5000 g/mol prior to neutralization; and wherein said polyethyleneimine has a weight average molecular weight of preferably at least 25000 g/mol; and (2) depositing a metal or a metal oxide on the at least one coated side of the polymer film.

A bioreactor utilizing a multilayer disposable bag that may include at least one ultrasonic transducer that can acoustically generate a multi-dimensional standing wave. The standing wave can be used to retain cells in the bioreactor, and can also be utilized to dewater or further harvest product from the waste materials produced in a bioreactor.

Disclosed herein are polyesters and articles made therefrom. The article comprising a substrate comprising a first surface and a second surface, the second surface in contact with an outside environment, wherein the substrate comprises a polymer comprising poly(trimethylene furandicarboxylate) (PTF), and wherein the polymer provides an improvement in gas barrier properties of the substrate as compared to a substrate comprising nascent poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET).

Curable compositions are prepared using polyisocyanates, hydrophobic hydroxyl-terminated polymers (such as hydroxyl-terminated polyfarnesenes and hydroxyl-terminated polydienes) and organically-modified nanoclays, optionally in combination with chain extenders and/or urethane catalysts. When cured, the compositions yield polyurethane-based sealants useful in insulating glass units which have improved (lowered) moisture vapor transmission rate values as a consequence of the inclusion of the organically-modified nanoclays.
