The present invention relates to a molded article with a sufficiently metallic appearance and a sufficient degree of brightness.

An encapsulant film is made from a composition comprising (A) a non-polar ethylene-based polymer; (B) an organic peroxide; (C) a silane coupling agent; and (D) a co-agent comprising a compound of Structure I wherein R.sub.1-R.sub.6 each is independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, a C.sub.1-C.sub.8 hydrocarbyl group, a C.sub.1-C.sub.36 substituted hydrocarbyl group, and combinations thereof. ##STR00001##

A laminate, containing two or more polyolefin resin layers, wherein at least one polyolefin resin layer (A) contains a cellulose fiber including a cellulose fiber having a fiber length of 0.3 mm or more dispersed in the layer; a content of the cellulose fiber in the polyolefin resin layer (A) is 1% by mass or more and less than 60% by mass; and wherein a polyolefin resin layer (B) different from the polyolefin resin layer (A) is laminated in contact with the polyolefin resin layer (A).

Methods may include modifying the crystallization properties of a polymer composition including a polyolefin and a nucleating agent with the structure:

##STR00001## wherein R1 and R2 are independently hydrogen, alkyl, alkenyl, or aryl with the proviso that at least one of R1 or R2 is a carbon chain having 1 to 12 carbons with at least one of the carbons in the carbon chain covalently bound to the polyolefin, and wherein the alkyl, alkenyl, or aryl may be substituted with one or more carboxylate groups; and M is a metal selected from Group I of the Periodic Table.

The present invention concerns a non-dust blend comprising tris(2-t-butylphenyl) phosphite.

Multi-layered articles or products comprising layers of filled polymer compositions, methods of making and applications or uses thereof.

A polyethylene-based composition may include an ethylene-based copolymer produced from ethylene and one or more C3-C10 alpha olefin comonomers, wherein the ethylene-based copolymer has: a density ranging from 945 kg/m.sup.3 to 961 kg/m.sup.3 according to ASTM D792, a melt flow rate (MFR.sub.2) ranging from 0.5 g/10 min to 3.0 g/10 min according to ASTM D1238 at 190° C./2.16 kg, a molecular weight distribution (Mw/Mn) ranging from 3 to 25, and a stress exponent (SEx) ranging from 1.0 to 1.8.

A polymeric composition includes (a) 1 wt % to 45 wt % of an ethylene-based polymer; (b) 50 wt % to 90 wt % of a polybutylene terephthalate having a melt flow index from 21 g/10 min. to 35 g/10 min at 250 C and 2.16 Kg; and (c) 3.5 wt % to 10 wt % of a compatibilizer comprising a maleated ethylene-based polymer and ethylene n-butylacrylate glycidyl methacrylate.

Asphalt emulsions and methods of forming an asphalt emulsion are provided. In one example, the asphalt emulsion includes a base asphalt component present in an amount of from about 40 to about 60 wt. % of the asphalt emulsion. Water is present in an amount of from about 40 to about 60 wt. % of the asphalt emulsion. An oxidized high-density polyethylene wax is present in an amount of from about 0.5 to about 5.0 wt. % of the asphalt emulsion. A slow-setting cationic emulsifier is present in an amount of from about 1.0 to about 2.0 wt. % of the asphalt emulsion.

Disclosed is a covering for an information handling system. The covering contains a first layer and a second layer. The first layer comprises a liquid crystal polymer (LCP) and the second layer comprises an ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). The use of these low-loss materials in the information handling system cover allows for a low loss tangent covering that provides highly efficient wireless transmission.
