Abstract:
A process for preparing oxazolidones is provided by reacting an epoxide with an isocyanate in the presence of a catalytic amount of a magnesium halide/phosphine oxide complex. The reaction products thus produced can be used in a variety of applications. The polyoxazolidones obtained from polyepoxides and polyisocyanates can be used as liquid rubber materials, high temperature resistant resinous materials and the like.
Abstract:
The cure rate of polyurethaneurea reaction mixtures is accelerated by the use of alkyl and/or alkoxyl substituted benzoic acids. Improvement in demolding time is achieved without reducing pot-life.
Abstract:
Multi-component alternating copolymers having a ratio of the total moles of donor monomer units of conjugated dienes, arylsubstituted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons or ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons to the total moles of acceptor monomer units of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile or esters of Alpha , Beta -unsaturated carboxylic acids being substantially 1 : 1, said donor monomer units and said acceptor monomer units being bonded alternately are produced by copolymerizing a monomer (a) of conjugated dienes having 4 to 10 carbon atoms, a conjugated polar ethylenically unsaturated monomer (b) of acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile or esters of Alpha , Beta -unsaturated carboxylic acids and at least one monomer (c) of acrylonitile, methacrylonitrile, esters of Alpha , Beta -unsaturated carboxylic acids, conjugated dienes arylsubstituted ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons or ethylenically unsaturated hydrocarbons, said monomer (c) being different from the monomers (a) and (b), at a temperature of 100*C to 100*C in liquid state, in the presence of a catalyst prepared from a component (A): at least one transition metal compound selected from compounds of transition metals of the Groups IV and V in the Periodic Table and a component (B): an aluminum-containing component selected from the group consisting of aluminum compounds having the general formulae
Abstract:
An alternating copolymer of butadiene and acrylonitrile is effectively manufactured without using expensive catalysts which are often dangerous and difficult to be completely removed so as to deteriorate the resulting copolymers by photopolymerization in the presence of a particular sensitizer system which is selected from a group consisting of some benzenic aromatic hydrocarbons and halides thereof, some polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons and halides thereof, some heterocyclic compounds, and aromatic- or aliphatic-azoic and aminic hydrocarbon compounds, and some ketonic, glyoxalic and aldehydic compounds, in the amount of 1/1010 to 1/4 mole per 1 mole of the total monomers as charged, with radiating light of the wave length ranging from 2,000 to 6,000 Angstrom.
