The present invention provides a stable organic solvent solution-type adhesive composition that is in a solution state even at low temperatures and that has excellent adhesion to polyolefin base materials, in particular polyethylene substrates (both LDPE and HDPE). The invention provides an adhesive resin composition comprising a modified polyethylene copolymer (component A) having a melting point of less than 80 C., a terpene-based tackifier (component B), and an organic solvent (component C), wherein component B is contained in an amount of 30 to 100 parts by weight, per 100 parts by weight of component A.

A tire sealant composition is provided for sealing punctures in pneumatic tires, particularly in the extreme outer shoulder edge and sidewall, comprising a liquid carrier comprising one or more components selected from water, a glycol and glycerine; latex in an amount between about 0.5 to about 6.0% by weight of the composition; a polysaccharide suspending agent and a particulate material with a particle size of less than 300 m; wherein the viscosity of the sealant composition is less than 1000 cP. The composition allows for passage through the tire valve without the need for removal of the valve core.

The present invention relates to compositions obtained by mixing specific electroactive fluoro-terpolymers and specific electroactive fluorinated copolymers. The invention also concerns liquid formulations (inks) that can be used through conventional processing technologies for printed electronics and microelectronics in a safe environment, based on these compositions. Another aspect of this invention are the films manufactured using these formulations, and the devices comprising at least one layer of these films.

A well treatment composition for use in a hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, optionally as a kill pill, and comprising a reversible aminal gel composition. The reversible aminal gel composition includes a liquid precursor composition. The liquid precursor composition is operable to remain in a liquid state at about room temperature. The liquid precursor composition comprises an organic amine composition; an aldehyde composition; a polar aprotic organic solvent; and a metal salt composition. The liquid precursor composition transitions from the liquid state to a gel state responsive to an increase in temperature in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir. The gel state is stable in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir at a temperature similar to a temperature of the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir, and the gel state is operable to return to the liquid state responsive to a change in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir selected from the group consisting of: a decrease in pH in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir and an addition of excess metal salt composition in the hydrocarbon-bearing reservoir.

A heat energy storage system may have a shape-stabilized composite prepared using an easy impregnation method involving a porous Ca.sup.2+-doped MgCO.sub.3 matrix and PEG as the functional phase. The heat storage capability, microstructures, and interactions with the PEG/CaMgCO.sub.3 composite can be characterized by DSC, SEM imaging, FT-IR spectroscopy, and TGA. Likely because of the synergistic phase change effect of CaMgCO.sub.3 and PEG, the PEG/CaMgCO.sub.3 composites can have high thermal enthalpies, and their enthalpy efficiencies are substantially higher than those of traditional shape stabilized PCMs. The functional material PEG can permeate porous CaMgCO.sub.3 matrices under capillary action. Liquid PEG can be stabilized within the porous matrix, and/or the CaMgCO.sub.3 matrix can improve the thermal stability of the PEG. The high heat energy storage properties and good thermal stability of such organic-inorganic composites offers utility in a range of applications, including thermal energy storage.
