In a process for producing an oxymethylene homopolymer or copolymer having improved stability which comprises polymerizing trioxane or a mixture of trioxane and a cyclic ether and/or a cyclic acetal in bulk in the presence of a catalyst which is at least one compound selected from the group consisting of boron trifluoride, boron trifluoride hydrate and coordination compounds of boron trifluoride with organic compounds containing an oxygen or sulfur atom, the improvement which comprises performing the bulk polymerization without destroying the bulk polymerization system, or which comprises adding a tertiary phosphine compound to the polymerization system to deactivate the catalyst, before the polymerization system formed by the bulk polymerization is destroyed.
摘要:
In a method for mixing a trioxane, a polymerization catalyst and a comonomer for producing of oxymethylene copolymers by continuously copolymerizing trioxane with a cyclic ether or a cyclic acetal as a comonomer, the improved method comprises following steps:spouting a comonomer and a polymerization catalyst from nozzle openings which are set adjacent to each other,while washing both openings at the tip end of the nozzles with a flow of trioxane,whereby mixing said comonomer, said polymerization catalyst and said trioxane,and then feeding the mixture to a polymerization reactor to effect copolymerization.The raw materials are mixed together before they are fed to the polymerization reactor, and no clogging trouble at the tip end of the nozzle for feeding a polymerization catalyst occurs. Further the resulting copolymer has a much superior heat stability. In addition, since each of the reaction raw materials is quantititively fed, the molecular weight and conversion of the copolymer extended from the polymerization reactor is so constant that a stabilized operation of the polymerization reactor can be secured.

In the production of polyphenylene ethers by oxidative polycondensation of phenols in the presence of a complex catalyst, an aminocarboxylic acid derivative and a reducing agent are simultaneously added to the reaction mixture when the resulting polyphenylene ether has attained the desired degree of polymerization, thereby to terminate the polymerization and simultaneously purify the reaction mixture. Hence, a stable purified polymer can be obtained.
