  Spread-coating compositions for paper comprising an aqueous dispersion of styrene/butadiene polymer and polyethylene ...
These objects are attained by using in spread-coating compositions based on a styrene/butadiene-latex as a synthetic binder, from about 2% to about 30% by weight of polyethylene oxides having a molecular weight of from about 6,000 to about 50,000, based on the sum of the solids content of the binder plus polyethylene oxide.
In a preferred embodiment, the polyethylene oxides are utilized in amount of from about 5% to about 20% by weight of the polymeric solids total content of the synthetic binder and polyethylene oxide.
Although polyethylene oxides are hydrophilic, a surprising aspect of the synthetic binder-polyethylene oxides combination of this invention is the fact that papers coated therewith have substantially unimpaired water resistance, even when up to 20% of the binder is replaced by polyethylene oxides.

 Polyethylene Oxide (PEO)
Function: Potent retention aid for high-yield pulps and for furnish to which a phenolic cofactor has been added; in theory it can be used as a formation aid for specialty applications where there is an insignificant amount of lignin or cofactor and where the drainage rate is not a concern.
Strategies for Use: Polyethylene oxide has been used as a retention aid since the 1970's in various Canadian newsprint mills and other applications with high-yield pulps.
In most of these cases the retention efficiency is maximized by first adding various proprietary phenolic compounds that appear to interact with the PEO and allow it to bridge between the adjacent solid materials in the furnish.

 Polyethylene Encapsulation of Depleted Uranium
] polyethylene encapsulated DU, because of its workability and high DU loading capability, could readily be fabricated as counterweights/ballast (for use in airplanes, helicopters, ships and missiles), flywheels, armor, and projectiles.
Also, polyethylene encapsulated DU is an effective shielding material for both gamma and neutron radiation, with potential application for shielding high activity waste (e.g., ion exchange resins, glass gems), spent fuel dry storage casks, and high energy experimental facilities (e.g., accelerator targets) to reduce radiation exposures to workers and the public.
Treatment of DU materials by polyethylene encapsulation is a desirable option because of the immediate availability of the technology and proven record to effectively and efficiently process similar powder and granular materials.
