Provided are a resin molding material, a method for producing same, and a method for producing resin member or the like, said resin molding material being a resin molding material which is capable of reducing a loss of ultraviolet absorber, resulting in less contamination in facilities, minimizing the impact of harmful lights by efficiently absorbing harmful lights in the wavelength region of 380 to 400 nm (to 420 nm), and suppressing the absorption of lights having a wavelength of not shorter than 400 nm (420 nm) which is a primary cause of early-stage yellowing to thereby produce a member having a superior appearance since the ultraviolet absorber is less prone to be sublimed during hot-melt compounding (first/second processing) that requires a high-temperature processing, or during other heat processing. The resin molding material is used in heat processing and comprises a resin and a 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivative that contains a thioether-containing group.

The claimed material relates to a fiber and polymer composite having enhanced modulus, viscoelastic and rheological properties.

Provided is an ultraviolet absorber capable of efficiently absorbing harmful lights in a wavelength region of 380 to 400 nm; and suppressing the absorption of lights having a wavelength of not shorter than 400 nm, which constitutes the cause of yellowing at early stages. The ultraviolet absorber can thus be used to produce a member superior in appearance as being less affected by harmful lights, and has an excellent light resistance, heat resistance and durability accordingly. The highly light-resistant ultraviolet absorber of the present invention is comprised of a 2-phenylbenzotriazole derivative that contains a thioaryl ring group or the like and is represented by, for example, the following formula (1):

PhBzT.sup.1a-S—X.sup.1a—(R.sup.1a).sub.l  (1) wherein PhBzT.sup.1a represents a substituted or unsubstituted 2-phenylbenzotriazole skeleton bonded to a thioaryl ring group (—S—X.sup.1a— . . . ), X.sup.1a represents a residue of a phenyl ring or the like, each of l R.sup.1as independently represents, for example, a hydrocarbon group having 1 to 18 carbon atoms, l represents an integer of 0 to 5.

A water dispersible sulfopolymer for use as a material in the layer-wise additive manufacture of a 3D part made of a non water dispersible polymer wherein the water dispersible polymer is a reaction product of a metal sulfo monomer, the water dispersible sulfo-polymer being dispersible in water resulting in separation of the water dispersible polymer from the 3D part made of the non water dispersible polymer.

A method of forming a composite material includes mixing granules of thermoplastic(s) and granules of reinforcing material(s) using a mixer with an interior friction coating. The friction generated by interaction between the granules and friction coating causes granules of at least one of the thermoplastic(s) to be heated to a liquid or semi-liquid state. The liquid/semi-liquid thermoplastic(s) act a binder for the mixed material. A system for forming such a composite material includes such a mixer with an interior friction coating. The system may also include a mould and/or a press for forming material produced by the mixer into a finished shape. The method and system may use post-consumer and post-industrial material as an input allowing such material to be recycled. In some cases, cross-contaminated or mixed post-consumer/post-industrial material may be recycled, potentially reducing environmental impacts.

A core/shell polymer material suitable for three-dimensional printing is provided. The core/shell polymer material may include at least one amorphous polymer as a core particle and at least one semicrystalline polymer as a shell material surrounding the core particle.

This invention relates to the use of HFO-1336mzz-Z blends as blowing agents for thermoplastic polymers (e.g., polystyrene).

One of the problems is to provide a solvent composition which has a little adverse effect on the global environment and has excellent stability when a compound having a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) group is in a solution state. In an embodiment, the problem is solved by providing a solvent composition for dissolving a compound having a perfluoropolyether (PFPE) group includes Z-1,2-dichloro-3,3,3-trifluoropropene (1223xd(Z)) as a main component.
