The present invention relates to a halogenated polymer composite composition that encapsulates a mineral filler. In particular the present invention relates to a polymer composite composition comprising at least one halogen containing polymer and at least one mineral filler, characterized that the halogen containing polymer and the mineral filler are both in form of a dispersion in aqueous phase during the mixing of the halogen containing polymer and the mineral filler. More particularly the present invention relates to a manufacturing method for a polymer composite composition comprising the steps of mixing of at least one halogen containing polymer with at least one mineral filler and drying the mixture of previous step wherein the halogen containing polymer and the mineral filler in step are in form of a dispersion in aqueous phase.

Systems and methods are provided for reducing or minimizing the chloride content of products generated during co-processing of a plastic feedstock (such as plastic waste) in a refinery process. The reduction in chloride is achieved by mixing the plastic feedstock with one or more additional feedstocks for co-processing in a mixing and/or holding vessel that is maintained at a dechlorination temperature that allows for decomposition of chlorine from the plastic feedstock to form HCl, while reducing or minimizing other conversion of the plastic feedstock and/or the additional feedstock. A purge gas can be passed through the mixing/holding vessel to remove the evolved HCl from the vessel. Because the dechlorination temperature is selected to reduce or minimize conversion of the feedstocks in the mixture, the amount of carbon-containing products that are removed with the purge gas can be reduced or minimized. The dechlorinated mixture of plastic feedstock and additional feedstock(s) can then be processed in a convenient refinery process, such as a thermal cracking process (e.g., coking, visbreaking, other types of pyrolysis) or a catalytic conversion process (e.g., fluid catalytic cracking).

Microporous material having a spherulitic matrix made from ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer has a plurality of pores having an average pore size greater than about 0.01 micrometer. The material is made by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) process that includes melt mixing ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer, diluent and nucleating agent to provide a melt mixed composition; shaping the melt mixed composition; cooling the shaped melt mixed composition to induce phase separation of the ethylene chlorotrifluoroethylene copolymer to provide a phase separated material; and stretching the phase separated material to provide the microporous material. The microporous material may be incorporated into articles and the articles may include one, two or more layers of microporous material.

A film for packaging a pharmaceutical active agent-containing product includes a product-contacting sealing layer that does not scalp the pharmaceutical active product. The product contacting layer includes at least 90 wt. % of a CTFE-VDF copolymer. The pharmaceutical active agent can be nicotine. The product can be a transdermal patch.

Methods of preparing reinforced anion exchange membranes are provided, as well as produced membranes and corresponding devices utilizing the membranes. Methods comprise compounding a halide-functionalized polymer (selected to react with amines to yield anion-conducting quaternary amine groups) with thermoplastic polymer(s) (selected to support and/or reinforce the membrane), and with copolymer(s) (selected to enhance the compounding of the polymers)by heating, mixing and coolingto form blend pellets, extruding the blend pellets to form a blend film, cross-linking polymer(s), and functionalizing the blend film to prepare the anion exchange membrane. Functionalization comprises a quaternization step comprising reacting halogen groups of the first polymer with tertiary amines to produce the quaternary amine groups with ion-exchange functionality. Reinforced anion exchange membranes are provided, which are produced by the disclosed methods, functionalized to yield a membrane for fuel cell(s), electrolyzer(s), reversible electrochemical device(s), desalination unit(s), etc.
