A process for preparing a polymeric membrane for materials used in crop production comprising: a) providing an aqueous dispersion of a polyurethane or polyurethane-urea elastomer comprising segments formed from the copolymer segment of Formula I
A.sup.1-[Y.sup.1].sub.n-L-[Y.sup.2].sub.q-A.sup.2  Formula I
wherein A.sup.1 is an end capping group; A.sup.2 is hydrogen or an end capping group; each [Y.sup.1].sub.n and [Y.sup.2].sub.q is independently selected from a polyether macrodiol, polycarbonate macrodiol, polyester macrodiol, and wherein at least one of [Y.sup.1].sub.n and [Y.sup.2].sub.q is a polyester macrodiol; L is a divalent linking compound independently selected from urethane, urea, carbonate, ester, and phosphonate; n is an integer of 2 to 50; q is an integer of 2 to 50; and b) spraying the aqueous dispersion onto materials to be used in crop production to form a polymeric membrane on the materials.

Polymers are disclosed that incorporate portions of secondary or tertiary polyamide segments connected with polyisocyanates. These polymers have enhanced matting properties. The enhanced matting properties are from creating an inherently matt surface from the polymer without the use of any separate fine particle size matting additives. Conventional matting agents such as fine particle size silica usually results in loss of physical properties such as haze development and porosity in the coating from the matting agent. Composites and hybrids of these polymers and other polyamides, polyurethane with vinyl polymers (acrylates) are also disclosed and claimed.

The present disclosure provides: an adhesive composition capable of realizing good adhesion even when neither resorcin nor formalin is included therein; and a rubber-organic fiber cord composite and a tire, which are excellent in adhesion between rubber and organic fiber cords and make a low impact on the environment. Specifically, the present invention provides an adhesive composition for an organic fiber cord, comprising therein: an epoxy compound (A); a compound (B) having an amide group and an amino group per molecule; and rubber latex (C). Further, the present disclosure provides a rubber-organic fiber cord composite, comprising a rubber member and an organic fiber cord, wherein at least a portion of the organic fiber cord is coated with the adhesive composition described above.

An improved process for forming polyamide dispersions in water utilizing carbon dioxide to facilitate dispersion of the polyamide is disclosed. The polyamides are generally below 30,000 or 40,000 g/mole molecular weight when dispersed, but can be chain extended with polyfunctional species such as polyisocyanates after dispersion. The dispersions are useful in coatings, adhesives, and inks. Composites and hybrids of these other polyamides with vinyl polymers are also disclosed and claimed.

The invention relates to a hyperbranched polymer comprising:

a) a hyperbranched polycondensate with hydroxyl end groups, amino end groups, or a combination thereof condensed to
b) one or more linking groups connected to
c1) one or more polyethylene glycol monomethyl ethers and
c2) one or more poly(C.sub.2-C.sub.3)alkylene glycol mono-(C.sub.8-C.sub.22)-alkyl ethers,
wherein the weight ratio of components c1):c2) is from 9:1 to 1:9. It further relates to a process for producing the polymer, to a composition comprising the polymer and an active ingredient, and to a method for controlling phytopathogenic fungi or undesired vegetation or insect or acarid infestations or for regulating the growth of plants.

Described herein is a new process for the preparation of polysuccinimide derivatives-based core-shell microcapsules. Also described are microcapsules, as well as perfuming compositions and consumer products including these microcapsules, in particular perfumed consumer products in the form of home care or personal care products.

The invention relates to a polymer or oligomer comprising a) An oligomeric or polymeric core comprising carbon atoms and at least one of oxygen atoms and nitrogen atoms, and b) at least three hydrocarbyl terminal and/or pending groups having 12 to 100 carbon atoms, wherein the hydrocarbyl groups are linked to the core via c) a linking moiety comprising i) a urethane group and ii) a group selected from urethane group, urea group, and biuret group.

The invention relates to urea- and/or urethane-substituted amides of the general formula (I) ##STR00001##
The radicals R1, Z1, R2, and Z2 comprise a building block containing urea groups and/or containing urethane groups; the radicals R4, Z4, R5, and Z5 comprise a building block containing amide groups, and E is a carboxylic acid group or salt thereof.
