Organic materials are made flame retardant by addition of a polyhalogenated polyphenylene sulfide such as decabromodiphenyl sulfide or 1,4-thiobis(2,4,6-tribromophenyl)-2,3,5,6-tetrabromobenzene alone or in combination with a Group VA metal oxide, e.g. Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3. A process for making the compounds is also disclosed.

The acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene composition of the present invention contains a flame retardant amount of a halophenoxyalkylsilane. The preferred halophenoxyalkylsilane is bis-(2,4,6-tribromophenoxy)dimethylsilane. Antimony oxide may optionally be present.

Apparatus and methods for estimating the remaining life of a battery in an implantable medical device (“IMD”) are disclosed herein. The terminal voltage of the battery is measured and the measurements create a baseline curve of the battery voltage depletion. The points along the baseline curve can be linearly extrapolated to calculate the voltage depletion rate, which can estimate the remaining life of the battery.
摘要:
A method for estimating capacity of a battery in an implantable medical device includes obtaining a characteristic curve of voltage versus resistance for the battery, periodically determining voltage and resistance of the battery, and comparing the resistance with a third derivative function of the characteristic curve, the third derivative function having roots representing near depletion of the battery and end of service of the battery, respectively. Remaining time of service of the battery can also be determined by comparing the resistance value with a curve of battery capacity versus resistance for the battery.
摘要:
High assay, reaction-derived decabromodiphenylethane product is prepared by feeding (i) diphenylethane or (ii) partially brominated diphenylethane having an average bromine number less than about two, or (iii) both of (i) and (ii), into the liquid confines of a reaction mixture. Such reaction mixture is (a) formed from components comprised of excess liquid bromine and aluminum-based Lewis acid bromination catalyst, and (b) maintained at one or more elevated reaction temperatures of from about 45°-90° C., and at least when elevated pressure is needed to keep a liquid state in the reaction mixture at the temperature(s) used, the reaction mixture is at such an elevated pressure, whereby ar-bromination occurs. The feeding is conducted at a rate slow enough to form high assay reaction-derived decabromodiphenylethane product, which is an effective flame retardant.

Styrenic polymer foams, especially expanded and/or extruded styrenic polymer foams, are flame retarded by use of one or more flame retardant additives. These additives are i) a diether of tetrabromobisphenol-S, which ether groups do not contain bromine and wherein at least one of the ether groups is an allyl group; ii) a diether of tetrabromobisphenol-S, wherein at least one of the ether groups contains bromine; iii) a substituted benzene having a total of 6 substituents on the ring and wherein at least 3 of the substituents are bromine atoms and at least two of the substituents are C1-4 alkyl groups; iv) tribromoneopentyl alcohol; v) a tris(dibromoalkyl) benzenetricarboxylate in which each dibromoalkyl group contains, independently, 3 to 8 carbon atoms; vi) a brominated polybutadiene which is partially hydrogenated and/or aryl-terminated; vii) at least one brominated allyl ether of a novolac; viii) a brominated poly(1,3-cycloalkadiene); ix) a brominated poly(4-vinylphenol allyl ether); x) a brominated N,TSP-phenylenebismaleimide; xi) a brominated N,N′-(4,4′-methylenediphenyl)bismaleimide; xii) a brominated N,N′-ethylenebis-maleimide; xiii) ethylenebis(dibromonorbornane-dicarboxrmide); xiv) tetrabromobisphenol-A; or xv) a combination of any two or more of i) through xiv).
摘要:
This invention provides a process of preparing reaction-derived decabromodiphenyl oxide product of high purity. The process comprises feeding a solution comprising a solvent and diphenyl oxide and/or partially brominated diphenyl oxide into a reaction zone containing a refluxing reaction mixture comprising an excess of bromine and a catalytic amount of Lewis acid bromination catalyst. Substantially concurrently with the feeding, a sufficient amount of hydrogen bromide coproduct is removed from the reaction zone so as to form a reaction-derived decabromodiphenyl oxide product of high purity.
摘要:
An additive mixture useful as a flame retardant is described. The mixture is comprised of (i) a poly(bromophenyl)alkane having in the molecule in the range of 13 to 60 carbon atoms and in the range of two to four aryl groups and (ii) a poly(bromophenyl)bromoalkane having in the molecule in the range of 13 to 60 carbon atoms and in the range of two to four aryl groups, said poly(bromophenyl)bromoalkane being in an amount which is greater than 25 wt %, based on the total weight of the additive mixture. A facile process for making the poly(bromophenyl)bromoalkane is also described.
