More Information
Summary:The invention pertains to low profile additives ("LPA") comprising branched polymers having a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of at least about 20,000 grams/mole and a number average molecular weight (Mn) of at least about 3,000 grams/mole and methods for making the LPAs. The invention further concerns compositions comprising LPAs synthesized from one or more difunctional monomers and one or more branching agents. Also, disclosed are thermosettable resinous compositions and molded articles comprising the LPAs.
