摘要:
Integrated processes of preparing industrial chemicals starting from seed oil feedstock compositions containing one or more unsaturated fatty acids or unsaturated fatty acid esters, which are essentially free of metathesis catalyst poisons, particularly hydroperoxides; metathesis of the feedstock composition with a lower olefin, such as ethylene, to form a reduced chain olefin, preferably, a reduced chain α-olefin, and a reduced chain unsaturated acid or ester, preferably, a reduced chain α,ω-unsaturated acid or ester. The reduced chain unsaturated acid or ester may be (trans)esterified to form a polyester polyolefin, which may be epoxidized to form a polyester polyepoxide. The reduced chain unsaturated acid or ester may be hydroformylated with reduction to produce an α,ω-hydroxy acid or α,ω-hydroxy ester, which may be (trans)esterified with a polyol to form an α,ω-polyester polyol. Alternatively, the reduced chain unsaturated acid or ester may be hydroformylated with reductive amination to produce an α,ω-amino acid or α,ω-amino ester, which may be (trans)esterified to form an α,ω-polyester polyamine.
摘要:
Monovinylidene aromatic polymers, e.g., general purpose polystyrene or high impact polystyrene, are plasticized with a nonfunctionalized, nonmineral oil, e.g., a vegetable oil such as canola oil, cottonseed oil or the like. The mixture of monovinylidene aromatic polymer and oil is typically and preferably free of any significant amount of functionalized nonmineral oil, and it typically contains at least 0.1 weight percent of the nonfunctionalized, nonmineral oil, alone or in combination with a mineral oil, based on the weight of the polymer. The nonmineral oil has an iodine value of less than 120, and a hydroxyl number of less than 20.

A process is disclosed for producing resilient polyurethane foams by foaming an organic polyisocyanate, an iso-cyanate-reactive compound and a fusible polymer. The improvement in the hardness of the foams is achieved without adversely affecting the other properties of the foams, such as tensile strength and elongation.

摘要:
Flexible polyurethane foams are prepared by reacting a polyisocyanate with a high equivalent weight polyol. At least a portion of the high equivalent weight polyol is a polyester containing hydroxymethyl groups. The high equivalent weight polyol further includes species containing tertiary amine groups. The presence of tertiary amine-containing polyols in the formulation leads to improvements in resiliency, tensile and/or tear strength.
摘要:
Polyurethane elastomers are formed by curing a reaction mixture containing at least one polyisocyanate at least one polyol, an aliphatic diol chain extender and a small amount of a secondary amino compound that may have none or one or more hydroxyl groups. The reaction is catalyzed with a metal catalyst. In certain embodiments, the catalyst is an organozirconium, organotitanium or tertiary amine-based catalyst. The presence of the secondary amine compound in those cases provides for a good surface appearance and good physical properties.
摘要:
Dispersions of hybrid polyurethane particles are made using miniemulsion techniques. An isocyanate-terminated prepolymer and a monomer are mixed and dispersed in an aqueous phase to form a dispersion of droplets. All droplets are polymerized and chain-extended in one step to form hybrid particles containing a polyurethane and a polymer of the monomer. This process provides a simple method of making hybrid particles, in which particle size and the number of particles is controlled in the mixing step. The hybrid particles often have a core-shell morphology, with the polyurethane being concentrated in the shell and the polymer being concentrated in the center of the particle.

The present invention is polyurethane dispersion composition that can be mechanically frothed to yield a foam that has good resiliency. Frothed foams of the present invention can be useful in cushioned flooring applications such as attached cushion broadloom, carpet tiles, carpet underlay, or vinyl flooring. Frothed foams of the present invention can also be useful as coatings for various textiles and for diapers.
摘要:
In an improved process condensation polymers having terminal arylcyclobutene moieties are prepared. Such polymers are prepared by adding to a condensation polymerization process one or more arylcyclobutene chain terminating compounds along with the multi-hydric compounds and condensation polymer precursors that are typically employed in such a process. Desirably the condensation polymers have an average degree of polymerization of at least about 2, preferably at least about 3 based on multi-hydric compound. This process can be used to prepare a range of condensation polymers including polycarbonates, polyesters and polyester-carbonates. The resulting products can be easily processed and shaped into various forms and structures according to the known techniques. During or subsequent to the processing, the polymers can be crosslinked, by exposure to heat or radiation, for example, to provide crosslinked polymer compositions. These compositions have a good combination of properties, including for example, processability into shaped articles having unexpectedly good combinations of toughness, solvent resistance, ignition resistance, modulus and resistance to thermal linear expansion.

A biscyclobutarene monomer is prepared having two cyclobutarene moieties bridged by a divalent radical having at least one azo linkage. The monomers can be polymerized to form polymers exhibiting outstanding thermooxidative stability at high temperatures for prolonged time periods.
