摘要:
The present invention is directed to copolymers that include a plurality of constitutional units that correspond to cationically polymerizable monomer species and a second polymer block that comprises a plurality of constitutional units that correspond to an anionically polymerizable vinylpyridine, e.g., 2-vmylpyridine, and methods for making the same. Such copolymers can also include a linking moiety, e.g., a Formula (I) group, a Formula (II) group, or any combinations thereof.
摘要:
One group of polymers comprise repeat units of Structural Formula (I) and/or (II) where: R is -H or a substituted or unsubstituted alkyl, acyl or aryl group; Rings A and B are substituted with at least one tert-butyl group, 1-ethenyl-2-carboxylic acid group or ester thereof, substituted or unsubstituted alkylenedioxy group, or substituted or unsubstituted n-alkoxycarbonyl group and optionally additional functional groups; Ring B is additionally substituted with at least one -H; n is equal to or greater than 2; and p is equal to or greater than 0. The polymer typically includes at least two substituted benzene repeat units that are directly connected by C-C or C-O-C bonds between benzene rings. Alternatively, each repeat unit of the polymer is an antioxidant. The invention also includes methods of making and using these and related polymers, particularly as antioxidants.
摘要:
An elastomeric polymer, comprising (I) a hard segment in the amount of IO% to 60% by weight of the elastomeric polymer, wherein the hard segment includes a urethane, urea or urethaneurea; and (2) a soft segment in the amount of 40% to 90% by weight of the elastomeric polymer. The soft segment comprises (a) at least 2% by weight of the soft segment of at least one polyether macrodiol, and/or at least one polycarbonate macrodiol; and (b) at least 2% by weight of the soft segment of at least one polyisobutylene macrodiol and/or diamine.

摘要:
An epoxy resin is provided that includes a diglycidyl ether of a substituted cycloaliphatic diol or bis-thiol, and a thermoset epoxy polymer is provided employing the same. The epoxy resin is bisphenol A free, and capable of forming thermoset epoxy polymers with fewer associated health and environmental concerns than conventional epoxies based on phenolic compounds.
摘要:
A method of preparing an antioxidant polymer includes forming or obtaining a first polymer having reactive pendant groups, where the first polymer does not include cyclic anhydride repeat units, and derivatizing the first polymer with an antioxidant. Another method of preparing an antioxidant polymer includes forming or obtaining a first polymer having reactive pendant groups and derivatizing the first polymer with an antioxidant, where the antioxidant is attached to the first polymer by an acetal, amide, amine, carbamate, carbonate, ester, ether or thioether linkage or by a carbon-carbon bond. The invention is also directed to polymers that are generally prepared by these methods, compositions that include such polymers and methods of using such polymers.
摘要:
Immunization formulations comprising an antigen and an emulsan or emulsan analog are formed and can be administered to a host. The emulsan or emulsan analog is an adjuvant in the immunization formulation. The emulsan or emulsan analog is secreted from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus. In particular, the emulsan or emulsan analog is secreted from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1. The emulsan analog is produced and secreted from Acinetobacter calcoaceticus cultured in the presence of varying fatty acid sources. The emulsan analog is also produced and secreted from mutants of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus, such as transposon mutants of Acinetobacter calcoaceticus RAG-1.
