摘要:
A process for fabricating a plastic, which plastic is either a thermoplastic ionomer or a multiphase graft or block copolymer of the ABA, ##EQU1## or (AB).sub.n wherein n is greater than 1 and wherein the polymer blocks (A and B) are thermoplastic, incompatible with one another, and have different softening points, both softening points being substantially above room temperature when using the latter class of polymers. The material is first heated to a temperature above both softening points and formed into any desired shape, then cooled and re-formed into a new desired shape at a temperature between that of the softening points of the two blocks and finally cooled to a temperature below both softening points thereby retaining the shape last achieved. When using thermoplastic ionomers the process is similar. The material is heated above the softening point of the thermoplastic backbone and plasticisers are employed to disrupt the ionic domains. The process may be readily employed to prepare containers, bottles, or rigid foams and the like which may be shipped as compact materials and re-formed for actual use by simply reheating, etc.

This invention relates to improved elastomeric compositions of metal and ammonium neutralized sulfonated EPDM terpolymers which are preferentially plasticized with an aliphatic organic amide at a minimum critical concentration level of at least 8 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the metal neutralized EPDM terpolymer, wherein the composition has a balance of improved physical and rheological properties. These compositions can be readily processed due to their superior rheological properties on conventional plastic fabrication equipment.

This invention relates to hot melt adhesive compositions which include an amine terminated polyalkylene oxide neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer wherein the neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer has about 5 to about 250 meq. of neutralized sulfonate groups per 100 grams of the neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic polymer, and about 25 to about 200 parts by weight of a hydrocarbon resin of a petroleum or coal tar distillate, having about 5 to 6 carbon atoms, the hydrocarbon resin being composed of aliphatic dienes and monoolefins per 100 parts by weight of the neutralized sulfonated thermoplastic resin.

This invention relates to blend compositions of thermoplastic resins and a neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer and a hydroxyalkyl carboxylate ester wherein the resultant composition has both improved physical and rheological properties such as compression set for blends exhibiting elastomeric characteristics and impact strength for blends exhibiting thermoplastic characteristics.
摘要:
This invention relates to an improved process for the manufacture of a blend composition of a neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer which includes the steps of sulfonating an elastomeric polymer dissolved in a solvent to form an acid form of the sulfonated elastomeric polymer. The solution of the acid form of the sulfonated elastomeric polymer is quenched with an oxirane to form a polymeric hydroxyalkyl sulfonate. A non-polar backbone process oil is added thereby plasticizing the polymeric backbone of the hydroxyalkyl sulfonate. The hydroxyalkyl sulfonate is reacted with a metal carboxylate to form equal molar portions of a solid gel-free neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer and a hydroxyalkyl carboxylate ester.
摘要:
Polymers having one or more sulfonic acid groups covalently bonded to one or more carbon atoms including the polymer are stabilized against thermal and hydrolytic degradation by reaction with an oxirane. The solid, gel-free hydroxyalkyl sulfonates thus formed are readily converted to thermoplastic ionomers by reaction with a metallic base or salt of a weak acid. The polymeric hydroxy alkylsulfonates possess a low melt viscosity and thus are readily mixed with neutralizing agents, plasticizers or other polymers and thereafter converted to ionomers by reaction with the neutralizing agent which is a metallic base or salt of a weak acid. The formulated solid gel-free ionomers are thermoelastic in nature and can be extruded, injected molded, and compression molded to useful products.
