Abstract:
A method of stabilization of a melt viscosity of aliphatic- and/or aromatic homo- and/or co-polyesters containing catalysts and/or initiators, involves adding a masking agent which is tropon, .alpha.-tropolon, thujaplicin, pupurogallin or mixtures thereof to a melt resulting during synthesis of polyesters or during regeneration of polyesters.
Abstract:
Branched low-pressure polyethylenes are prepared by oligomerization of ethylene on a nickel-containing catalyst and polymerization of the oligomers obtained, if appropriate in the presence of ethylene, on a chromium-containing catalyst.
Abstract:
Improved fiber reinforcement of polyarylene sulphides is achieved by preparing the polyarylene sulphides in the presence of reinforcing fibers pretreated with arylsulphonic acid chlorides at elevated temperatures.
Abstract:
The present invention concerns a process for producing dispersions of watsoluble vinyl polymers and a stabilizer for carrying out this process. Such water-soluble, particularly cationic vinyl polymers, are employed on a large scale as process expediters for carrying out, for instance, separating processes in water treatment or waste-water purification, respectively, in the paper, coal and ore industries, in oil production or also in the food stuff industry, among others, for floculation, coagulation, retention or dewatering. According to the present invention, water-soluble vinyl polymers are homo- or copolymerized in the presence of a dispersion stabilizer of the invention. The stabilizer consists of a graft copolymer whose backbone is formed by polyethylene oxide and its grafted branches of cationic vinyl monomers. Among others, cationic, hydrophobically modified vinyl monomers can be advantageously employed. Copolymerizations can be carried out between cationic or non-ionic hydrophobically modified vinyl polymers and cationic or non-ionic, non-hydrophobically modified vinyl polymers.
Abstract:
Continuous process for producing unidirectionally reinforced composite materials by impregnating a continuous reinforcing fiber strand with a thermoplastic matrix in an impregnating bath containing a dispersion of a thermoplastic powder by measuring the width of the strand leaving the impregnating bath and using this measured value for regulating the polymer concentration in the impregnating bath.
Abstract:
A poly(meth) acrylic acid dispersion with an organic solvent as outer phase, the dispersed phase particles having a low polydispersity is obtained by the free radical polymerization of (meth) acrylic acid and optionally co-monomers, which bring about a cross-linking of the poly(meth) acrylic acid, in a nonpolar, organic solvent in the presence of stabilizers, costabilizers, and initiators. The stabilizer is a block copolymer.
Abstract:
Pulverulent polyvinyl chloride molding compositions capable of being sintered are produced by polymerizing vinyl chloride in suspension using suspension stabilizers and non ionic wetting agents and as emulsifier alkylaryl- and/or alkyl sulfonic acids. The molding compositions are especially suitable for making separating plates for electric cells.

Abstract:
The production of thermoplastics by polymerization of olefins in the presence of light metal non-ferrous metal or alloys thereof by means of a heterogenous Ziegler-Natta catalyst is taught. Preferably, the polyolefin is crosslinked in regions thereof adjacent the metal particles. The product resins can be employed either alone or as a component of a polyblend with other polymers for the purpose of achieving heat removal with simultaneous electrical insulation in electronic and electrical engineering applications.
