摘要:
A method for preparing hydrogenated polymers containing acidic functionality in a portion thereof initially containing ethylenic unsaturation from a polymer containing ethylenic unsaturation or both aromatic and ethylenic unsaturation comprising the steps of first incorporating an acidic functional group precursor radical into the polymer, hydrogenating at least a portion of the ethylenic unsaturation contained in the polymer containing the acidic functional group precursor radicals and then converting at least a portion of the acidic functional group precursor radicals to the corresponding acidic functional group. In general, any acidic functional group precursor radical which will have less of an impact upon the hydrogenation reaction than the corresponding acidic functional group may be used. Best results are, however, achieved when acidic functional group precursors are used which are relatively neutral and which do not react or complex with the metal compounds used to prepare the catalyst or resulting from the combination of such metal compounds. The catalyst used to effect the hydrogenation will be prepared by combining a compound, preferably an alkoxide or carboxylate, of an iron group metal with an alkyl or a hydride containing a Group I-A, II-A or III-B metal. Preparation of the catalyst is preferably accomplished in the presence of water. Best results are achieved when the acidic functional group precursor is a metal salt and the metal salt and the reducing component used to prepare the catalyst contain the same metal. Depending upon the particular catalyst employed and the acidic functional group precursor radical used, up to about 90-95% of the ethylenic unsaturation initially contained in the polymer can be converted or hydrogenated.

The present invention relates to a lubricant composition containing a minor amount of a thermally stable moldified selectively hydrogenated alkenyl arene/conjugated diene copolymer wherein an amide functional group is grafted to the block copolymer primarily in the alkenyl arene blocks thereof.
摘要:
A thermoplastic polymer having good tensile strength at elevated temperatures is obtained by modifying a block copolymer composed of a conjugated diene compound and an alkenyl arene compound. The block copolymer is first selectively hydrogenated and thereafter modified by grafting silicon or boron containing functional groups primarily in the alkenyl arene block via metalation. Each silicon containing functional group preferably contains at least two functional groups which allow crosslinking by condensation reactions.
摘要:
Block copolymers are prepared by using two successive and different catalytic processes, a Ziegler-Natta type polymerization followed by a conventional anionic polymerization.

Acetone cyanohydrin is converted to alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid by contacting the cyanohydrin with alpha-hydroxymethanesulfonic acid and water at a temperature of about 70.degree.-125.degree. C. The alpha-hydroxymethanesulfonic acid is an equilibrium product of the reaction of water, sulfur dioxide and formaldehyde.
摘要:
A process for laminating a polar substrate with a film cast from a sulfonated block copolymer having at least one end block A and at least one interior block B wherein each A block contains essentially no sulfonic acid or sulfonate ester functional groups and each B block is a polymer block containing from about 10 to about 100 mol percent sulfonic acid or sulfonate ester functional groups based on the number of monomer units. The film is exposed to water and dried onto a polar or active metal substrate. The laminates do not delaminate in the presence of water and may be used for a variety of applications including energy exchange applications.

The present invention provides a block copolymer composition and method of making the same having the structures (A2-B)n—X-(A1) or (A2-B2)n—X—(B1A1), where A1 and A2 are each a polymer block of a monoalkenyl arene and B, B1, and B2 are each a polymer block of one or more conjugated dienes or a hydrogenated diene polymer, n is an integer from 2 to 30 and X is the residue of a coupling agent.

The present invention relates to selectively hydrogenated block copolymers where one of the blocks is a random copolymer of a mono-alkenyl arene monomer, such as styrene, and a 1,3-cyclodiene monomer, such as 1,3-cyclohexadiene, and one of the other blocks is a hydrogenated polymer or copolymer of an acyclic conjugated diene, such as 1,3-butadiene or isoprene.

The anionic polymerization of unsaturated monomers with functionalized initiators having the structure R.sup.1 R.sup.2 R.sup.3 Si--O--A'--Li is improved by selecting A' from the structures --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,3-propyl), --CH.sub.2 --CH(CH.sub.3)--CH.sub.2 --(2-methyl-1,3-propyl), --CH.sub.2 --C(CH.sub.3).sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propyl), or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,8-octyl). This narrow class of polymerization initiators operate at surprisingly higher polymerization temperatures with surprisingly lower amounts of dead initiator than similar initiators wherein A' is --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,4-butyl), --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --(1,5-pentyl), or --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 --CH.sub.2 13 CH.sub.2 --(1,6-hexyl).
摘要:
Novel metallated polyolefins are produced by contacting a polyolefin having a vinylidene group in the terminal portion with organoalkali metal compound in the presence of alkali metal t-alkoxide or tertiary amine. The metallated polyolefin is used to initiate the polymerization of polymerizable monomers to produce block copolymers of at least two blocks, at least one of which is saturated polyolefin.
