Alpha-Methylene Lactone Homopolymer And Copolymer Compositions, Sheets And Articles Made Therefrom And The Process For Their Manufacture

View page
US Patent:
20030130414, Jul 10, 2003
Filed:
Dec 28, 2001
Appl. No.:
10/032978
Inventors:
Charles Brandenburg - Wilmington DE, US
Elizabeth Butler - Wilmington DE, US
Carl Erkenbrecher - Elkton MD, US
Randy King - Kennett Square PA, US
Clyde Hutchins - Boston NY, US
Rutger Puts - Wilmington DE, US
International Classification:
C08L001/00
US Classification:
524/592000
Abstract:
Compositions comprising homopolymers or copolymers containing repeat units derived from -methylenelact(ones)(ams) such as -methylenebutyrolactones and an inorganic filler such as alumina trihydrate are described. The decorative sheets and articles made from these compositions may have one or more of higher thermal resistance, higher hardness, higher scratch and mar resistance, faster polymerization rates, antimicrobial properties, lower coefficient of thermal expansion and, owing to a higher refractive index, a higher transparency.
