摘要:
The invention is a practical process for anionically synthesizing commercially significant quantities of macrocyclic polymers from polar and/or non-polar monomers by using Group IIA and IIB metal cyclic organometallic initiators. Activation of the ring metal atom results in anionic polymerization of the monomers by addition into the initiator ring at the bonds between the atom and its two adjacent carbon atoms, the metal atom acting as a bridge between the two living ends of the propagating chain. Coupling of the cyclic polymer living ends by coupling agents produces macrocyclic polymers that are stable in air and moisture and that exhibit desirable properties, such as low viscosities at high molecular weights. Such macrocyclic polymers provide enhanced polymer processability during molding, extruding and the forming of films. Macrocyclic polymers terminated with coupling agents that also provide functional groups may be compounded to produce vulcanizable elastomeric compounds and articles that exhibit reduced hysteresis properties.

A process is provided for the preparation of tapered copolymers by the nonaqueous dispersion polymerization of a mixture of 30 to 70% by weight of a conjugated diolefin monomer, preferably butadiene, and 30 to 70% by weight of a vinyl substituted aromatic monomer, preferably styrene, in a liquid hydrocarbon dispersion medium with an anionic initiator catalyst system in the presence of a block copolymeric dispersing agent. At least one block of the dispersing agent is prepared prior to the dispersion polymerization reaction and at least one block of the dispersing agent is prepared in situ during the dispersion copolymerization. The block of the dispersing agent that is prepared in situ has the polymer structure of the tapered copolymer.

The method comprises administering to to the subject an effective Pneumocystis carinii-combating amount of a bis-benzimidazole compound such as bis[5-(2-imidazolyl)-2-benzimidazolyl]methane, 1,4-bis[5-2-imidazolyl)-2-benzimidazolyl]butane, or a pharmaceutically acceptable salt thereof. Pharmaceutical formulations for carrying out the method and novel compounds are also disclosed, along with methods of combating Giardia lamblia.
摘要:
An anionic initiator system formed by the reaction product of: (1) an organolithium compound with (2) the reaction product of (a) a secondary amine and (b) diisopropenyl benzene, initiates polymerization to produce a polymer containing tertiary amine functional sites incorporated at the head of the polymer chain. A subclass of these polymers can be compounded to exhibit reduced hysteresis over conventionally prepared polymers.
摘要:
An anionic polymerization initiator includes the C-lithio reaction product of an organolithium compound and a tertiary-amino allyllithium or a tertiary-amino xylyllithium. When used in an anionic polymerization, a functional group from the initiator is incorporated onto the head of the growing polymer and a lithium atom is incorporated at the "living" end of the polymer chain prior to quenching. The initiator may be used to polymerize a monomer(s) including diolefin monomers, monovinyl aromatic monomers and trienes, and the living ends of the polymers are effectively maintained even at temperatures of up to 300.degree. F. and higher. Such polymers exhibit an increased efficiency in coupling termination reactions, and products prepared from such polymers exhibit improved hysteresis characteristics. Products such as tires and the like can be prepared from such polymers and from vulcanizable elastomer compositions employing the polymers.

Diene polymers having a high content of cis-1,4 addition are prepared by polymerizing a 1,3-diene monomer in a hydrocarbon solvent in the presence of a catalyst composition comprising (a) a carboxylated metal oxy borate compound in which the metal is nickel or cobalt, (b) an organometallic compound of a metal of Groups I, II, and III of the Periodic System, and (c) one or more fluorine containing compounds selected from the group consisting of boron trifluoride complexes with ethers, alcohols or mixtures thereof; hydrogen fluoride; hydrogen fluoride complexes with ethers, alcohols, or mixtures thereof and mixtures of said compounds.The resultant polymers exhibit good green strength and tack and are particularly suitable for use as tire rubbers.
摘要:
A process and catalyst system is disclosed herein for the preparation of (co)polymers having a 1,2-microstructure of between 20 and 95 percent. These (co)polymers are prepared in a hydrocarbon or other non-polar solvent from a monomer system which contains at least one 1,3-diene monomer. The catalyst system which is employed in the production of the (co)polymers of the present invention is a combination of (1) an anionic initiator based on lithium; (2) an alkyl magnesium compound or an alkyl aluminum compound or a mixture thereof; and (3) a modifier compound selected from the group consisting of linear and cyclic oligomeric oxolanyl alkanes.
摘要:
The process described herein involves the preparation of block copolymers of the S-B-S type wherein S represents a block of polystyrene and B represents a block of polybutadiene. In order to have the initial polystyrene block soluble in the polymerization medium, cyclohexane and aromatic hydrocarbons have been used as the diluent or solvent in these polymerizations. The present process permits the use of hexane as diluent by first preparing a "foot" or small block of homopolydiene to which the initial polystyrene block is thereafter attached. This small block of homopolydiene represents no more than 12 parts, preferably no more than 10 parts by weight of homopolydiene per 100 parts by weight of the block of polystyrene to which it is attached. Generally therefore this block has a molecular weight of 200-5000 depending on the size of the attached polystyrene block and is not large enough to alter the properties of the resultant S-B-S block copolymer except to give the initial polystyrene block greater dispersibility in hexane, heptane, etc.
