Abstract:
A process for producing particles of a thermoplastic polymer in spherical form involves providing at least one thermoplastic polymer in a molten state and providing an aqueous solution of at least one surface-active substance. The aqueous solution is in a temperature range from 100 to 300° C. The process also involves dispersing the thermoplastic polymer in the aqueous solution to obtain an aqueous solution containing dispersed thermoplastic polymer, which is cooled down to a temperature below the solidification point of the thermoplastic polymer to obtain a suspension containing an aqueous solution and particles of the thermoplastic polymer suspended in a solid state and in spherical form. The particles can be separated from the suspension and, optionally, dried. The particles obtained from the process have a particle size distribution having a d[4,3] value of more than 10 μm and a d90.3 value of more than 20 μm.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for continuously producing a polyamide powder (PP) comprising at least one semicrystalline polyamide (P). The present invention further relates to the polyamide powder (PP) thus obtainable and to the use of the polyamide powder (PP) as sinter powder (SP), and also to a process for producing a shaped body by exposing a layer of a polyamide powder (PP).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of an aliphatic or partially aromatic polyamide, in which an aqueous composition of the monomers is subjected to an oligomerization at elevated temperature and increased pressure, the reaction mixture is optionally subjected to a first decompression to reduce the water content, the (optionally decompressed) reaction mixture is heated within a short time to a temperature above the melting temperature of the polyamides and the heated reaction mixture is subjected to a (further) decompression to reduce the water content and to an after-polymerization.
Abstract:
A method for desalinating a salt-containing polymer (SP) comprising a polyaryl ether having a softening temperature TS and a salt (S), comprising the steps of a) providing the salt-containing polymer (SP) at a first temperature T1 above the softening temperature TS of the polyaryl ether, b) contacting the salt-containing polymer (SP) provided in step a) with an extractant (E) to obtain a desalinated polymer (DP) comprising the polyaryl ether, and a salt-containing extractant (SE) comprising the extractant (E) and the salt (S).
Abstract:
The process for producing aromatic polyether sulfones via reaction of a dichlorodiphenyl sulfone component with a bisphenol component as monomers in the presence of alkali metal carbonate in the melt in the absence of solvents and diluents comprises carrying out the reaction in a mixing kneader which is operated with a shear rate in the range from 5 to 500 s−1.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for purifying polyamide particles wherein these are contacted with a lactam-containing treatment medium with or without a gaseous treatment medium.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for preparing polyamides, comprising a hydrolytic polymerization and at least two extraction steps which are not in immediate succession.
Abstract:
In a process for producing polyamides by polycondensation of polycondensable polyamide-forming monomers and/or oligomers in reaction mixtures comprising same, which may be water-containing but are free from organic solvents, the polycondensation is effected in an agitated reactor under agitation in a first step in the liquid phase and after a phase change taking place during the process in the same reactor is effected in a subsequent second step in the solid state, wherein the temperature in the reactor is below the melting point of the polyamide in the second step at least.
