An aerosol coating composition contains at least one film-forming resin, trans-1-chloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene and at least one propellant such as CO.sub.2. The aerosol coating composition is non-flammable and compatible with polyethylene terephthalate. The film-forming resin may be acrylic resins, alkyd resins or mixtures thereof. A glycol ether solvent may be present. The coating composition may have low toxicity, be non-ozone depleting, have low or no VOC, be low in maximum incremental reactivity and/or be low in global warming potential. A method of coating a substrate with the aerosol coating composition comprises providing at least one film-forming resin selected from the group consisting of acrylic resins, alkyd resins, and mixtures thereof and trans-1-chloro-trifluoropropene in a container comprising polyethylene terephthalate, which is charged with a propellant comprising carbon dioxide. The aerosol coating composition is non-flammable. The composition is applied to a substrate and allowed to dry.

Disclosed herein are polysaccharide-elastomer masterbatch compositions and processes for preparing the masterbatch compositions. One method comprises a step of a) mixing i) an aqueous polysaccharide dispersion, or ii) a basic aqueous polysaccharide solution, with a rubber latex solution containing a rubber component to form a mixture. The method further comprises the steps of: b) coagulating the mixture obtained in step a) to produce a coagulated mass; and c) drying the coagulated mass obtained in step b). The masterbatch compositions are useful in preparing rubber-containing articles.

The present invention provides new impact protection materials and the method of making the same. More specifically, the impact protection materials are polymer-based shear-thickening composite comprising a non-shear-thickening polymer matrix material and one or more shear-thickening materials. Preferably, the non-shear-thickening polymer matrix material is in an amount from approximately 5 weight percent to approximately 90 weight percent with the balance being one or more shear-thickening materials. The first type of the one or more shear-thickening materials is sol-gel based shear-thickening material in which small inorganic particles are connected in a gel network; the second type is polymer-based shear-thickening material in which polymer chains form network. Compared to the existing shear-thickening materials, the present shear-thickening materials have different molecular structure and formulation and possess properties of good impact protection and good stability.
