摘要:
A method of separating a polymer-solvent mixture is described wherein a polymer-solvent mixture is heated prior to its introduction into an extruder comprising an upstream vent and/or a side feeder vent to allow flash evaporation of the solvent, and downstream vents for removal of remaining solvent. The one-step method is highly efficient having very high throughput rates while at the same time providing a polymer product containing low levels of residual solvent.

Poly(arylene ether) resins having intrinsic viscosities greater than about 0.8 dL/g are produced in the reaction of a phenol with oxygen in the presence of an organic solvent and a metal complex catalyst, the phenol concentration being about 5 to about 15 weight percent of the sum of phenol and solvent, and the molar ratio of metal in the metal complex catalyst to the phenol being about 1:100 to about 1:200.
摘要:
A process for producing a poly(arylene ether) resins includes oxidatively coupling a monohydric phenol in the presence of a solvent and a catalyst to form a soluble poly(arylene ether) and an insoluble poly(arylene ether), separating the soluble poly(arylene ether) and the insoluble poly(arylene ether), and recycling the soluble poly(arylene ether). The process is particularly useful for synthesizing poly(arylene ether) copolymers in which the monomer compositions of soluble and insoluble copolymers may vary.
摘要:
A phenol is oxidatively polymerized in an aromatic compound solvent in the presence of a copper compound and an amine to produce a polyphenylene ether resin, during which the aromatic compound solvent, the amine forming an azeotropic mixture together with water, and the methanol used for precipitating polyphenylene ether particles and for washing the particles are efficiently separated and recovered.

A method of synthesizing a CO2-philic analog of a CO2-phobic compound, includes the step of: reacting the CO2-phobic compound with a CO2-philic compound selected from the group of a polyether substituted with at least one side group including preferably a Lewis base, a polycarbonate, a polycarbonate substituted with at least one side group including preferably a Lewis base, a vinyl polymer substituted with at least one side group including preferably a Lewis base a poly(ether-ester) or a poly(ether-ester) substituted with at least one side group including preferably a Lewis base, to create the CO2-philic analog. A method of synthesizing a CO2-phile includes the step of copolymerizing at least two monomers, wherein a polymer formed from homopolymerization of one of the monomers has a Tg of less than approximately 250 K and a steric factor less than approximately 1.8, at least one of the monomers contains a group that results in a pendant group from the CO2-phile backbone that contains a Lewis base group, and the resultant CO2-phile does not contain both hydrogen bond donors and acceptors.

A process for producing a polyphenylene ether, which comprises: contacting, with an aqueous solution of a chelating agent, a polyphenylene ether solution obtained by polymerization in a non-water-soluble polymerization solvent for a polyphenylene ether in the presence of a catalyst, to terminate the polymerization and deactivating the catalyst; and adding a water-soluble poor solvent for the polyphenylene ether to precipitate the polyphenylene ether; and recovering the thus precipitated polyphenylene ether, wherein (a) the contact with the chelating agent aqueous solution is carried out by holding the polyphenylene ether solution and the chelating agent aqueous solution at a temperature of from 50 to 120°C for 10 to 180 minutes, wherein (b) a mixture remaining after the recovery of the polyphenylene ether, which contains the non-water-soluble polymerization solvent and water-soluble poor solvent, is brought into contact with water to extract the water-soluble poor solvent, and a water phase containing the thus extracted water-soluble poor solvent is recovered by separation, and wherein (c) the water-soluble poor solvent is separated and removed from the water phase by distillation, and the whole or a part of the remaining water phase is recycled as water to be brought into contact with the mixture, the remaining water phase having a content of a high-boiling-point organic substance of 1 wt.% or less.
