摘要:
In a process for the preparation of a low density porous crosslinked polymeric material by polymerizing a water-in-oil high internal phase emulsion, curing time of the monomers in the emulsion can be reduced without adversely affecting polymer properties by first advancing one or more of the monomers. All or a portion of the monomers are advanced in the presence of an advancement initiator or a free-radical-producing radiation source for about 5% to about 95% of the time effective to form a solid. Then, a water-in-oil high internal phase emulsion is formed with the advanced monomers and optionally additional monomers or the advanced monomers are added to a water-in-oil high internal phase emulsion containing other monomers. The emulsions containing the advanced monomers are cured. The process provides an improved method to incorporate volatile monomers in the porous polymeric material. The curing time is further reduced by carrying out the polymerization and crosslinking in the presence of a alkylperoxycarbonate or a alkylperoxycarboxylate polymerization initiator that is branched at the 1-position and/or the .alpha.-position.

This is an improvement upon a process which comprises anionically polymerizing monomers with an anionic polymerization initiator in a suitable solvent thereby creating a living polymer. The improvement comprises terminating the polymerization by the addition of a terminating agent selected from the group consisting of hydrocarbons containing a C-H group where the carbon is connected directly to a triply-bound carbon, hydrocarbons containing a C-H group where the carbon is connected directly to two doubly-bound carbons and hydrocarbons containing a C-H group where the carbon is connected directly to at least 2 aromatic rings, whereing none of said hydrocarbons contain additional aliphatic unsaturation.

Solid copolymers of butene-1 and 4-vinylcyclohexene prepared by copolymerizing the monomers in the presence of a titanium halide coordination catalyst have an unobvious balance of properties including a broader molecular weight distribution, shorter crystallization half-time, greater isotacticity and greater crystallinity than butene-1 homopolymers prepared with identical catalysts.

An improved process for making linear polyethers having a relatively narrow molecular weight distribution comprises contacting a monoepoxide with a salt selected from the group consisting of fluoborate, fluophosphate, fluoantimonate and fluoarsenate salts of a metal selected from the group consisting of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals, lead, nickel, aluminum, cadmium, cobalt, tin, zinc and copper in the presence of a hydroxyl-containing compound at a controlled temperature of about -78.degree. C. to less than +20.degree. C. and in the absence of any additional acid.
摘要:
The invention described herein provides a process for recycling a mixed polymer recycle stream containing polyester polymers, particularly polyethylene terephthalate (PET) typically in the form of carbonated soft drink or other containers. This novel process includes the steps of: (1) contacting the mixed polymer recycle stream with a solvent which selectively dissolves the PET. (2) separating the selective solvent containing PET from the residual mixed polymer, (3) cooling the selective solvent to precipitate the PET, and (4) removing the selective solvent from the precipitated PET. It is preferable that the mixed polymer recycle stream be prepared for recycling by conventional steps, such as water washing. In a preferred embodiment, the mixed polymer recycle stream is chemically washed subsequent to water washing and prior to contact with the selective solvent. The PET recovered is preferably combined with "virgin" PET and further processed to increase its molecular weight.
摘要:
A polymer reinforcing material, consisting of a particulate or filamentary mineral component having a thin polymer-interactive layer, averaging about 5-500 Angstrom in thickness, of silicon-free and heavy metal-free organic molecules chemically bonded to its surface by covalent bonding, when used in relatively small amounts in the range from 1 to 20 phr is capable of providing superior retention or increase of desirable polymer properties especially impact resistance, compared to the use of conventional reinforcement in the same polymer, while providing increased stiffness and retention of strength at elevated temperatures. The reinforcing material is prepared by contacting a particulate or filamentary mineral component which has reactive sites at its surface with certain organic compounds at reaction conditions at which a covalent chemical bond is established between the mineral surface and the organic compound by reaction of a reactive surface site of the mineral with a site-reactive atom or group of the organic compound.
