Abstract:
A polyester/glyoxalated polyvinyl alcohol semi-interpenetrating polymer network hot-melt adhesive and preparation method therefore, mainly includes the steps of: 1) transesterification of certain amounts of dimethyl terephthalate and another dibasic ester with 1,4-butanediol and other diols in the presence of an organotin catalyst under a nitrogen atmosphere in a reactor, completed upon the amount of distillation of a monohydric alcohol byproduct reaching greater than 95% of the theoretical amount; 2) after the temperature is maintained for a period of time, adding in a stabilizer and a polycondensation catalyst and incrementally increasing the temperature to trigger a polycondensation reaction under a reduced pressure to produce particles of a copolymer, and freezing and pulverizing the copolymer particles to produce a powder of a copolyester; 3) uniformly blending a polyvinyl alcohol/glyoxal mixture with the powder produced in step 2) at ambient temperature to produce the target product. The product is capable of forming an internal semi-interpenetrating network at application temperatures.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a polyester/polyolefin hot-melt adhesive for use in a solar cell bus bar is disclosed, in which 2,6-naphthalenedicarboxylic acid and ethylene glycol are first sequentially subjected in a predetermined ratio to esterification and polycondensation in the presence of a certain amount of a titanium-based catalyst to result in a polyethylene naphthalate (PNT) with a weight-average molecular weight of 16,000˜20,000. The PNT is then melt-blended with a low-density polyethylene (LDPE) in the presence of a compatibilizer to produce the hot-melt adhesive that can be shaped into films having a high light transmittance, good mechanical properties, high heat and yellowing resistance and thus particularly suitable for use in solar cell bus bars.

The present invention relates to a carriered hybrid vanadium-chromium-based catalyst, characterized in the catalyst is carriered on a porous inorganic carrier and a V active site and an organic Cr active site are present on the porous inorganic carrier at the same time. The present invention further relates to a process for producing a carriered hybrid vanadium-chromium-based catalyst. The catalyst of the present invention can be used for producing ethylene homopolymers and ethylene/α-olefin copolymers. The hybrid vanadium-chromium-based catalyst can have high activity and produce polyethylene polymers having the properties of broad molecular weight distribution (Part of the products are bimodal distribution) and excellent α-olefin copolymerization characteristic.
Abstract:
A method of preparing a composite catalyst for polyester synthesis includes the steps of: 1) sequentially dissolving a titanium compound, a silicon compound and a tin compound in an organic solvent; 2) adding a water solution of an acidic compound or of an alkaline compound in the compound from step 1) to cause hydrolysis thereof and collecting a precipitate, and washing the hydrolysis precipitate with a deionized water to obtain the composite catalyst. The catalyst is not only effective in polyester production polycondensation, but also has significant catalytic activity in esterification. The produced polyester chips all have a desirable hue.
