Abstract:
Preparation of high-reactivity isobutene homo- or copolymers with a content of terminal vinylidene double bonds per polyisobutene chain end of at least 50 mol % and a polydispersity of preferably 1.05 to less than 3.5, by polymerizing isobutene or an isobutene-comprising monomer mixture in the presence of an aluminum trihalide-donor complex effective as a polymerization catalyst or of an alkylaluminum halide-donor complex, especially of an aluminum trichloride-donor complex, said complex comprising, as the donor, an organic compound with at least one ether function or a carboxylic ester function.
Abstract:
A process for preparing isobutene homo- or copolymer derivatives by (i) polymerizing isobutene or an isobutene-comprising monomer mixture in the presence of an iron halide-donor complex, an aluminum trihalide-donor complex, or an alkylaluminum halide-donor complex, (ii) reacting a resulting high-reactivity isobutene polymer with a compound which introduces a low molecular weight polar group or a substructure thereof, and (iii) in the case of reaction with a substructure, further reacting to complete the formation of the low molecular weight polar group. The homo- or copolymer derivatives include a radical of a hydrophobic polyisobutene polymer having a number-average molecular weight of 110 to 250 000 and low molecular weight polar groups including amino functions, nitro groups, hydroxyl groups, mercaptan groups, carboxylic acid or carboxylic acid derivative functions, sulfonic acid or sulfonic acid derivative functions, aldehyde functions and/or silyl groups.
Abstract:
A process for producing an isobutene copolymer derivative by: (I) free-radically copolymerizing (a) 10-90 mol % of a monoethylenically unsaturated C4- to C12-dicarboxylic acid, anhydride, or ester, (b) 10-90 mol % of a high-reactivity isobutene polymer having Mn=110-250000 and obtained by polymerizing isobutene in the presence of an iron-halide-, aluminum trihalide-, or alkylaluminum halide-donor complex, each donor being an ether or carboxylic ester function, or in the presence of a Lewis acid complex containing an organic sulfonic acid, and (c) 0-50 mol % of a monoethylenically unsaturated compound copolymerizable with (a) and (b), to obtain an intermediate isobutene copolymer; and (II) reacting the carboxylic acid functions in the intermediate with at least one of ammonia, an amine, and an alcohol, to form a moiety containing at least one of a hydroxyl, carboxylic ester, amino, quaternized amino, amido, and imido group.
Abstract:
Quaternized terpolymer formed from (A) ethylene, (B) C2-C14-alkenyl esters of one or more aliphatic C1-C20-monocarboxylic acids or C1-C24-alkyl esters of acrylic acid or of methacrylic acid and (Cq) ethylenically unsaturated monomers which comprise at least one tertiary nitrogen atom which is partly or fully in quaternized form. The quaternized terpolymer is suitable as a fuel additive for reducing or preventing deposits, for reducing fuel consumption and for minimizing power loss in direct-injection diesel engines, especially in diesel engines with common-rail injection systems.
Abstract:
The invention provides a weatherable low gloss styrene copolymer composition which requires the addition of from 0.1 to 20% by weight of the total composition, of a partially crystalline polymer such as a polyalkylterephthalate, especially polybutyleneterephthalate or polyethyleneterephthalate, or polyethylenenaphthalate to a styrene copolymer (A). The low gloss styrene copolymer composition of the invention has a graft copolymer resin which results from polymerizing one or more monomers (A1) selected from the group consisting of (i) aromatic vinyl compounds, (ii) ethylenically unsaturated compounds, and (iii) mixtures thereof, in the presence of an elastomeric rubber (A2) in particulate form. The elastomeric rubber (A2) in particulate form results from polymerizing one or more monomers selected from the group consisting of (i) alkyl acrylates having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms, (ii) butadiene, (iii) olefin compounds, (iv) ethylenically unsaturated compounds, (v) aromatic vinyl compounds, (vi) polyfunctional monomers having a crosslinking effect, and (vii) mixtures thereof. The invention further provides a method of reducing the surface gloss of a styrene copolymer resin by adding to a styrene copolymer resin (A), from 0.1 to 20% by weight of a partially crystalline polymer such as a polyalkylterephthalate (B), based on the total weight of the composition. The invention also provides a composite suitable for use as exterior siding for a structure, the composite comprising at least one interior layer (I) comprising a thermoplastic resin, and at least one exterior layer (II) having a low gloss styrene copolymer comprising the low gloss styrene copolymer composition of the invention, wherein exterior layer (II) is continuos and coextensive with interior layer (I).
