Abstract:

A method for the preparation of gel-free poly 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate substantially in the absence of a chain transfer agent, comprising introducing monomeric 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate containing ethylene glycol dimethacrylate impurities in the range of about 0. 05 to 0. 1% by weight into alcohol, polymerizing the 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate to form a polymerization mixture, and removing the alcohol. Hydrophilic pressure sensitive adhesives are provided by adding polyethylene glycol to the polymerization mixture prior to removing the alcohol. A method for the preparation of an acrylic emulsion ink jet receptive clear coating, comprising forming a alkyl acrylate monomer-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture, introducing an activator into the alkyl acrylate monomer-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture, reacting a water soluble monomer feed in the alkyl acrylate monomer-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture, the water soluble monomer feed comprising 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate and a cationic monomer to form a clear polymer in the reaction mixture. In another embodiment, the clear polymer in the butyl acrylate-containing pre-emulsion feed mixture is subsequently reacted with a water insoluble monomer feed mixture comprising 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate, n-vinyl pyrrolidone, butyl acrylate, and methacrylic acid to form a second clear polymer in addition to the clear polymer in the alkyl acrylate monomer containing pre-emulsion feed mixture.

Abstract:

A photo album is provided having an ink-receptive coating on a surface of the photo album. A user may write text or draw pictures on the surface with an ink pen, such as with a gel-based ink pen. The ink-receptive coating protects the ink from smudging or smearing after the ink has dried. Consequently, the text and/or picture is durable. The writable or drawable surface may be the front or back exterior surface, and/or an interior surface.

Abstract:

The present invention provides gum bases and chewing gums, as well as methods of manufacturing the gum bases. More specifically, the gum bases provided herein contain microparticles comprising a crosslinked polymer. The microparticles render a gum cud comprising the gum base more easily removable from surfaces onto which it may become adhered than gum cuds comprising conventional gum bases.
