A biodegradable plastic composition is used to manufacture a biodegradable plastic. The biodegradable plastic composition includes a biodegradable polyester, a polysaccharide, and a modifier. The modifier is used to compound the polysaccharide and the biodegradable polyester to obtain a biodegradable plastic. The biodegradable plastic has a tensile strength greater than 3 MPa and an elongation greater than 81%.

The present invention provides a polypropylene-polyphenylene ether-polystyrene ternary alloy, including the following components in parts by weight: 100 parts of a polypropylene and a polyphenylene ether and a polystyrene, wherein the polypropylene accounts for 10% to 60%, the polyphenylene ether accounts for 10% to 60%, and the polystyrene accounts for 5% to 30%; 5 parts to 25 parts of a compatibilizer; and 10 parts to 60 parts of a polyphosphate compound. The polypropylene-polyphenylene ether-polystyrene ternary alloy of the present invention has an advantage of a less smoke release amount during melt.

A plant fiber-containing composite resin molded article contains a base resin, plant fibers, and, a dispersant, in which each of the plant fibers contains an aroma component, the base resin is a crystalline resin, and in a case where a total content of the base resin, the plant fibers, and the dispersant is 100% by mass, a content of the plant fibers is more than or equal to 50% by mass and less than or equal to 90% by mass.

The present disclosure describes a composite material and a method for making the composite material. The method includes mixing a copolymer binder with a thermoplastic biopolyester polymer (TBP) at a mixing temperature of 80-280° C. to create a polymer mixture; and mixing pyrolysized organic matter and an organic filler material with the polymer mixture to create the composite material. In an embodiment, the source of the pyrolysized organic matter is post-consumer food waste, and the mixing is performed by a shear mixer that is operated at 40-100 revolutions per minute (RPM). The composite material may comprise by weight at least 35% of a combination of the pyrolysized organic matter and the organic filler material.

This invention relates to an elastomer composition comprising: about 10-85 wt % of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, optionally based on ethylene produced from a bio-based carbon source; about 15-90 wt % of thermoplastic polyurethane; and about 0-10 wt % of a compatibilizer. This invention also relates to a molding product formed from the elastomer composition.

A composite and method for producing the composite by incorporating wood or wood pulp fibres with a suitable thermoplastic polymer and coupling agent are described. Homogeneous, void-free transparent/translucent thermoplastic materials in the form of pellets, films or three-dimensional moldable products are produced. The wood pulp fibres can be discrete natural fibres, and flexible assemblies of nano to micro elements, e.g., assemblies of aggregated carbon nanotubes. It is also possible to use our vacuum-assisted co-extrusion process to produce hybrid composites comprising the wood pulp fibre and a further rigid fibre, like glass or carbon fibres, and a flexible fibre or fibrillar network, like cellulose fibres or cellulose filaments. The thermoplastic resin can be, but not limited to, polyolefins, like polypropylene or polyethylene, or polyesters, like polylactic acid, or co-polymers, like acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene terpolymer.

The present disclosure provides an ultralow-glossiness, ultralow-temperature resistant ASA resin composition and preparation method thereof. The composition includes the following components in parts by weight: 20˜60 parts of an acrylonitrile-styrene-acrylate graft copolymer, 40˜80 parts of an acrylonitrile-styrene copolymer, 1˜20 parts of an ultralow-glossiness, low temperature resistant modifier, and 0.1˜5 parts of a processing aid. The ultralow-glossiness, low temperature resistant modifier includes a carrier copolymer, a fluorinated copolymer, a low-temperature flexibilizer, a coupling agent, fumed silica and an assistant. The ASA resin composition prepared by the present disclosure has an ultralow-glossiness, can be used to replace mold processing technology such leather marking and texturing, which greatly saves mold cost and processing production cost; and meanwhile it also has excellent low temperature resistance and can be applied in cases having requirements on low temperature resistance and low glossiness such as automobile parts, outdoor profiles, building materials and electrical appliances.

This invention relates to an elastomer composition comprising: about 10-85 wt % of ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, optionally based on ethylene produced from a bio-based carbon source; about 15-90 wt % of thermoplastic polyurethane; and about 0-10 wt % of a compatibilizer. This invention also relates to a molding product formed from the elastomer composition.

A flexible conduit used for transportation of hydrocarbon fluids for off-shore and on-shore oil and gas applications includes an inner pressure sheath, at least one reinforcing layer at least partially disposed around the pressure sheath, an outer protective sheath at least partially disposed around the at least one reinforcing layer, and optionally a thermally insulating layer disposed between the at least one reinforcing layer and the outer protective sheath. At least one of the inner pressure sheath, outer protective sheath, and the thermally insulating layer is manufactured using a thermoplastic blend (TPB) composition. The TPB compositions disclosed herein are useful for the formation of at least one polymer layer of the thermoplastic umbilical hoses used for transportation of hydrocarbon fluids.

The present invention relates to a polymer composition comprising (A) a polyolefin; (B) one or more impact modifier(s); (C) one or more fluoropolymer(s); (D) one or more clarifying agent(s); and (E) one or more dispersing agent(s) in an amount of equal to or more than 100 ppm, based on the total weight amount of the polymer composition, an article comprising said polymer composition and the use of said polymer composition for reducing haze and improving gloss of an extrusion blow molded (EBM) bottle.
