摘要:
In a first embodiment of the present invention, poisoning or deactivation of conventional homogeneous catalysts to be used in hydrogenation of the backbone unsaturation in liquid monofunctional and difunctional-terminated conjugated diene polymers, is prevented by reacting a blocking agent compound with the functional end groups present in these polymers. More specifically, subsequent to formation of a selected starting material monofunctional or difunctional-terminated conjugated diene polymer, a suitable blocking agent is reacted with the functional end groups of the polymer enabling relatively inexpensive titanium, iron, cobalt, or nickel-based homogeneous catalysts to be used in hydrogenating the backbone unsaturation of the polymer to a high degree. Subsequent to hydrogenation, the polymer is subjected to conventional hydrolysis using a mineral acid or base to remove the blocking groups and return the hydrogenated conjugated diene polymer to its original functionality. In a second embodiment, conventional homogeneous catalysts based on cobalt, nickel, titanium, or iron are utilized to hydrogenate low molecular weight liquid copolymers and homopolymers to a high degree. More particularly, butadiene-alkenylpyridine and butadiene-acrylate liquid copolymers and butadiene homopolymers are formed in a conventional manner are hydrogenated using such catalysts.

摘要:
Thermooxidatively and hydrolytically stable perfluoroalkylene ether bibenzoxazole polymers containing hydrocarbon cure sites are synthesized by the polycondensation of a fluorocarbon bis(o-aminophenol) containing a hydrocarbon moiety and a perfluoroalkylene ether diimidate or dithioimidate ester. The polymers are readily curable to elastomers that are resistant to hydrolysis over a wide use-temperature range. Thus, the polymers are especially suitable for use in aerospace applications where extreme environments are encountered. In particular, the polymers are useful as seals, sealants, and the like.

Methods for making a crosslinked elastomeric composition and articles made of the same are provided. In at least one specific embodiment, an elastomeric composition comprising at least one propylene-based polymer is blended with at least one component selected from the group consisting of multifunctional acrylates, multifunctional methacrylates, functionalized polybutadiene resins, functionalized cyanurate, and allyl isocyanurate; and blended with at least one component selected from the group consisting of hindered phenols, phosphites, and hindered amines. The propylene-based polymer can include propylene derived units and one or more dienes, and have a triad tacticity of from 50% to 99% and a heat of fusion of less than 80 J/g. The blended composition can then be extruded and crosslinked. The extruded polymer can be crosslinked using electron beam radiation having an e-beam dose of about 100 KGy or less. The crosslinked polymers are particularly useful for making fibers and films.

In one or more embodiments of this invention, TPE compositions having between 55 and 85 Shore A hardness and having good adhesion to metal substrates, are produced by blending an amount of unsaturated carboxylic acid functionalized thermoplastic resin with a very soft TPV, namely, a TPV base having a hardness of 45 Shore A or less.

Thermoplastic vulcanizate compositions having good adhesion to unheated polar substrates include an amount of functionalized polyolefin that comprises greater than 80% of the total polyolefin of the TPV. The functional group may be an anhydride. Exemplary TPVs may further include polyamide, and an elastomer, which may include one or more of conjugated diene rubber, unsaturated styrenic triblock copolymer rubber, hydrogenated styrenic triblock copolymer rubber, ethylene/alpha-olefin rubber, and ethylene/alpha-olefin/non-conjugated diene rubber. The TPVs may have hardness values of less than 85 Shore A and peel forces with respect to unheated polar substrates of greater than 15 pli. Articles comprising polar substrates and TPVs are also taught.

The compression set [(70° C., 22 hr), (100° C., 22 hr)] of TPVs can be improved by substituting, within their respective constituent plastic phase, all or portions of polyolefins having a high melting point, with polyolefins having lower melting point (Tm from between 115° C. to 140° C.). Exemplary polyolefins having melting points in this range include homopolyethylene, syndiotactic polypropylene, and isotactic poly(1-butene). Composition and methods of formulating thermoplastic vulcanizates to achieve an improved high temperature (between 70° C. 100° C.) compression set by selecting between suitable polyolefins on the basis of melting point temperature and substituting from 30% to 100% of high melting point polyolefins with low melting point polyolefins in the plastic phase are taught.
摘要:
High-temperature oil-resistant elastomers are prepared from butadiene alkenylpyridine copolymers, butadiene-acrylate copolymers, and copolymers of butadiene with 1,3-dienes containing fluorine. The unsaturated olefinic backbone and pendant unsaturation derived from the hydrocarbon diene of each of the copolymers is hydrogenated to a high degree by a catalyst which improves the heat resistance of the copolymer without hydrogenation of the polar groups thereof which would lower the oil-resistance of the copolymer. A complexing agent for the hydrogenation catalyst prevents poisoning of the catalyst by the polar groups of the copolymers thereby enabling the catalyst to complex with unsaturated sites along the olefinic copolymer backbone to achieve high levels of hydrogenation thereof.
