    摘要: Disclosed in embodiments herein are ionomers and methods of making the same. The ionomers comprise a neutralized blend of olefin-carboxylic acid copolymers and Group II, Group IIIA, and transition metal salts. The method includes mixing an acid copolymer formed from an α-olefin monomer and an α,β-ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid having at least one carboxylic acid group with an amine-containing aqueous solution to form an aqueous dispersion containing an amine salt of the acid copolymer. The method further includes mixing a solution of a Group IIA , Group IIIA, or transition metal salt with the aqueous dispersion containing the amine salt of the acid copolymer to exchange at least a portion of the amine salt for the Group IIA , Group IIIA, or transition metal salt, thereby forming the ionic copolymer.

    摘要: This disclosure relates to a process for making flame retardant fibers comprising the steps of combining a flame retardant masterbatch with a polymer to form a polymer composition and forming the flame retardant fibers from the polymer composition. The masterbatch comprises greater than 10 wt % of a nitrogen compound having a melting point less than 400° C.; and a masterbatch polymer, with the weight percentages based on the total weight of the masterbatch. The flame retardant fibers pass the flame retardancy standards of ASTM D6413 (current year).

    摘要: A method for tailoring mechanical properties of a photopolymer includes providing an active monomer feedstock, adding a sulfur-free chain transfer agent (CTA) to the active monomer feedstock to form a mixture, and curing the mixture under predetermined conditions. The sulfur-free CTA includes a Cobalt(II) complex or a Cobalt(III) complex, the mechanical properties include glass transition temperature, crosslinking density, and/or conversion rate, and a concentration of the sulfur-free CTA is less than 30% of the mixture. The predetermined conditions include intensity, wavelength, and application time of energy from a light source, a cure temperature, and/or the concentration of the sulfur-free CTA in the mixture. The method may further include adding a diluent to the mixture to modify a viscosity of the active monomer feedstock. The diluent may include one of a reactive diluent and a non-reactive diluent, such as methyl methacrylate (MMA) and methacrylate (MA).

    摘要: Disclosed herein are methods for synthesis of ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE), with improved disentanglement, for solid-state processing into a product, such as tapes, films, and ropes, etc., with superior mechanical properties. The method includes using a catalyst support which includes MgCl2 pre-reacted with different alcohols. The MgCl2/alcohol adducts are reacted with different aluminum alkyls to form nanoparticles support, preferably in-situ, under inert environment in the presence of the monomer used to synthesize the UHMWPE. The resulting heterogeneous catalytic system and polymer synthesis method results in improved UHMWPE with high average molecular weight (Mw)>1 million g/mol, with lower levels of entanglement (while avoiding fouling seen with homogenous catalytic systems), allowing for processing into products such as tapes with superior mechanical properties.
