摘要:
The invention relates to a new improved catalyst to produce random copolymers of one or more iso-olefin monomers and one or more para-alkylstyrene monomers. The invention also relates to an improved continuous slurry polymerization process to produce random copolymers using the improved catalyst system. The process is carried out in an anhydrous polymerization system containing a mixture of the monomers in a polar solvent along with a Lewis acid and a stabilizing initiator.

The invention relates to impact modifiers for polyamide compositions which improve the impact strength of the polyamides without adversely affecting the flexural modulus of the composition. The impact modifiers comprise blends of halogenated copolymers of a C.sub.4 to C.sub.7 isomonoolefin and an alkyl/styrene with a polyolefin.

摘要:
A process for preparing a homogeneous random polymer of two or more cationically polymerizable monomers having the general formula: ##EQU1## wherein R.sub.1 is alkyl, alkenyl, phenyl, aralkyl or alkaryl, R.sub.2 is H, alkenyl or alkyl and where R.sub.2 is H, R.sub.1 must be phenyl or alkylaryl, which comprises continuously reacting said monomers in a mixed solvent system comprising a polar organic solvent and a nonpolar, nonaromatic hydrocarbon solvent, said polymerization being carried out in a well-stirred reactor in the presence of a Friedel-Crafts catalyst. The preferred polymer is a homogeneous random styrene-isobutylene copolymer which is prepared by continuously reacting in solution about 10 to about 90 parts by weight of styrene with about 90 to about 10 parts by weight of isobutylene in a mixed solvent system comprising a polar organic solvent and a nonpolar nonaromatic hydrocarbon solvent.
摘要:
Polymerization reactions may be carried out in a solvent at a temperature which is above its lower critical solution temperature thereby resulting in a two-phase system comprising a solvent phase containing dissolved therein monomers and low molecular weight fractions of polymer and dispersed fluid phase comprising a solution of solvent in the higher molecular weight fraction of polymer being formed.This process technique is particularly advantageous in the preparation of low molecular weight isoolefin conjugated diolefin copolymers. In particular, propane has been found to be an ideal solvent for the isoolefin conjugated diolefin polymerization processes.The use of this type of polymerization process results in a low viscosity system having excellent heat transfer and low fouling characteristics.

摘要:
A non-vulcanized thermoplastic composition comprising a polyamide and an elastomeric halogen-containing copolymer of a C.sub.4 to C.sub.7 isomonoolefin and a para-alkylstyrene is prepared by blending the polyamide and elastomeric copolymer in the presence of specified metal compounds in an amount insufficient for vulcanizing the composition. Optionally, the resulting composition may be subjected to vulcanization.
