The present invention involves a 100% solids, radiation curable adhesive formulation for adhesion to EVA. This formulation may have varying compositions, as discussed in detail herein. However primarily the composition may comprise at least a monomer, and a chlorinated additive. Photo initiators may be used to allow for low temperature UV or other radiation curing. Other additives may be used to enhance functional features in various ways. In use, the present invention may be coated on a surface of EVA and then cured, and may be adhered to a substrate using only a layer of adhesive on the substrate, in contrast to the structures of the prior art, which require at least two sided adhesive application, among other complexities.

A wax-polymer compound includes (a) a polymer component that is a polymerized unsaturated monomer, optionally copolymerized with a vinyl-aromatic monomer, and (b) a halogenated hydrocarbon wax component. The polymer component is grafted to the halogenated hydrocarbon wax component, and the wax-polymer compound has a number average molecular weight of about 1,000 to about 100,000. A method of making the wax-polymer compound and a coated silica particle are also disclosed.

The invention provides an aqueous resin dispersion which can form a coating film excellent in adhesion to a polypropylene base material, and water resistance, and has excellent particle stability. Specifically, it provides an aqueous resin dispersion in which an olefin polymer (A), and a polymer (C) containing a constituent unit derived from a radically polymerizable monomer (B) represented by the following general formula (1) are dispersed in an aqueous medium. (In the general formula (1), R is a hydrogen atom or a methyl group, and X is a straight chain or branched alkylene group having 3 to 5 carbon atoms; and n is an integer of 1 to 20.)

The disclosure relates to the functionalization of a carbon-carbon backbone (CCB) polymer using a (cyclic) grafting agent, an initiator, and optionally a reversible radical trapping agent. The grafting agent and/or initiator can be particularly selected in terms of their surface energy and/or half-life, respectively, to limit or control undesirable effects associated with reactive melt-processing, such as excessive crosslinking, chain scission, or grafting agent homopolymerization, as well as to improve or control desirable effects associated with reactive melt-processing, such as improved relative graft uniformity or homogeneity on the CCB polymer. In some cases, the grafting agent can further include a functional group to impart some additional or new chemical or physical property to the CCB polymer. In some cases, the reactively melt-processed mixture includes two or more different polymers that are compatibilized via the grafting agent.

A polyolefin additive comprising chlorinated polyolefin grafted with an alkyl (meth)acrylate, wherein the alkyl has greater than 10 carbon atoms is provided. Further provided are a method for improving the sag resistance of polyolefins and sag resistant polyolefins.

A method of producing a silane cross-linked polyethylene is disclosed which includes maleating a polyethylene polymer to form a maleated polyethylene and reacting the maleated polyethylene with a primary or secondary amino silane to form a silane-grafted polyethylene. The method further includes treating the silane-grafted polyethylene in a moisture curing process to form the silane cross-linked polyethylene.
