Compositions for scavenging oxygen are disclosed. These compositions comprise condensation copolymers comprising predominantly polyester segments and an oxygen scavenging amount of polyolefin oligomer segments. The polyester segments comprise segments derived from typical bottling and packaging polyesters such as PET and PEN. The copolymers are preferably formed by transesterification during reactive extrusion and typically comprise about 0.5 to about 12 wt % of polyolefin oligomer segments. The copolycondensates are capable of absorbing at least 0.4 cc of oxygen per gram of copolymer in the solid state at ambient temperatures and are typically used as layers in films, liners, cups, wraps, bottles, etc. Use of these oxygen scavenging compositions in bottles provides a clear and rigid bottle similar in appearance to unmodified polyester bottles. In a series of preferred embodiments, bottles fabricated with the oxygen scavenging copolycondensates of this invention are over 99.4 wt % polyester and suitable for recycle with other polyester bottles.

The invention discloses a preparation method and application of resin having double curing groups. The resin having double curing groups comprises epoxy monoacrylate and polyurethane acrylate chain segments and has the following structure. The molecule of the resin having double curing groups has an acrylate double bond (a curing free radical) and an epoxy group (a curing or thermally curing anion), so the brittleness of a cured film is reduced and the flexibility of the cured film is improved and the resin can be used in ultraviolet curing paint, adhesive and ink. The resin can improve large shrinkage factor of a single acrylate free radical curing system and large brittleness and poor flexibility of the UV curing film and the like and can also solve the problem that a several-resin mixed compounding system has unstable performance, uneven local curing, poor compatibility among resin and the like.
