Aqueous polymer dispersions are produced by radically initiated emulsion polymerization of ethylenically unsaturated monomers in the presence of protective colloids and/or emulsifiers in a continuously operated tubular reactor, characterized in that the direction of flow of the reactor contents is reversed along the longitudinal axis of the reactor over the course of polymerization.

Suggested are new adhesion promoters, which are particular suitable for use in displays. Its inclusion in the polymerisable LC mixture results in an excellent adhesion on substrate without colouration over time i.e. compared to amino siloxanes. The new additives have no effect on alignment of LC on the substrate while improving the adhesion.

A method for the production of functionalized partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate comprising vinyl alcohol, vinylacetate and functionalized vinyl alcohol units by reacting in a melt a partially hydrolyzed polyvinyl acetate as component A with a reactive compound carrying at least one ethylenically unsaturated group and at least one reactive group reactive with hydroxyl or acetate groups as component B, in the presence of at least one stabilizer as component C and in the presence of at least one catalyst selected from the group consisting of tertiary amines and nitrogen-containing heterocycles as component D, the method comprising the steps: feeding the components into a mixing device capable of heating, melting and mixing components A, B, C and D, heating, melting and mixing components A, B, C and D in the device to give a melt and reacting components A and B in the melt.

A husk plastic composite comprises a composition including: PVC 10˜20 wt %; vinyl chloride/vinyl acetate (VC/VAC) copolymer 10˜30 wt %; styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (SAN) 1˜5 wt %; chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) 1˜5 wt %; rice husk powder 10˜40 wt %; inorganic filler 10˜40 wt %; internal lubricant 0.1˜1 wt %; external lubricant 0.1˜1 wt %, and heat stabilizer 1˜5 wt %. The VC/VAC copolymer in the husk plastic composition provided by the present invention can allow the composition to be processed by relatively lower processing temperature to save energy consumption. It will also prevent the husk powder from being burnt or decomposed due to high temperature during the heating process to allow this natural material being added in a large amount in the composition. The present invention can reduce the amount of PVC through a large amount of filling additives but still maintain in good product mechanical properties. The particle size of the husk is preferably in the range of 0.10˜0.60 mm for better hardness, stiffness and wood-like texture in the final product.

The present invention relates to a method for preparing ethylene vinylacetate copolymer that can improve the mechanical strength of copolymer by controlling the polymerization conditions using an autoclave reactor.

Provided are a binder for a secondary battery, a negative electrode including the same, and a secondary battery including the same. More particularly, the binder for a secondary battery prepared by reacting a copolymer including specific repeating units and a crosslinking agent including two or more aldehyde groups has excellent mechanical properties and effectively improves a binding force. The negative electrode and the secondary battery including the binder for a secondary battery effectively suppress expansion of a negative electrode to manufacture a secondary battery having excellent charge/discharge cycle characteristics and battery performance.
