Abstract:
A photoperoxidation process including irradiating a donor molecule with light from a light source to form an activated donor molecule, contacting the activated donor molecule with an acceptor molecule to form an activated acceptor molecule, and contacting the activated acceptor molecule with a diene elastomer in a vessel to form a singlet oxygen functionalized elastomer molecule. The singlet oxygen functionalized elastomer can be mixed with a styrenic monomer and subjected to a polymerization reaction to obtain a high impact polystyrene composition
Abstract:
A method of producing a polymer and layered compound composition having a high degree of exfoliation of the layered compound is disclosed. The layered compound is treated with chemicals having an affinity with the polymer or the monomer of the polymer. The monomer and the layered compound can be combined prior to polymerization. The polymer and layered compound can be combined by solution mixing in a solvent. The layered compound can also be incorporated into the mixture by compounding a polymer product with the layered compound.
Abstract:
A method of improving the color of a high impact polystyrene comprising preparing a reaction mixture comprising styrene, elastomer and at least one antioxidant, and introducing to the reaction mixture a color improving additive prior to the addition of any oxidizing agents to the reaction mixture. A high impact polystyrene comprising a color improving additive, an elastomer and at least one antioxidant wherein the color improving additive is present in the reaction process for production of the high impact polystyrene prior to the introduction of an oxidizing agent and wherein the high impact polystyrene has a 50% to 200% reduction in the Yellowness index as determined in accordance with ASTM E 313 when compared to an otherwise identical polystyrene lacking a color improving additive.
