摘要:
Copolysiloxanecarbonate compositions are prepared by the reaction of a carbonate precursor such as phosgene with a mixture of bisphenols including a spirobiindane bisphenol, at least one of said bisphenols containing polydiorganosiloxane moieties. The reaction may take place in one step or sequentially. The products are characterized by low processing temperature, low orientational birefringence and high ductility.
摘要:
Pigmented polycarbonate compositions which are substantially stable with respect to molecular weight and melt viscosity are prepared by blending a redistributed polycarbonate with titanium dioxide free from polysiloxane coatings (i.e., "unpacified" titanium dioxide).
摘要:
A process for the redistribution of an organic polycarbonate composition. The process involves melt equilibrating a starting polycarbonate composition (which may be a single polycarbonate or a mixture of polycarbonates, and may be or include recycled polycarbonate) having an initial weight average molecular weight in the presence of a carbonate redistribution catalyst and in the absence of branching agents, under conditions such that a redistributed polycarbonate composition is formed having a weight average molecular weight different from, and typically lower than, the initial weight.
摘要:
Spirobiindanol polydiorganosiloxane compounds are prepared by the reaction of an .alpha., .omega.-dichloropolydiorganosiloxane with a spirobiindane bisphenol in the presence of an acid acceptor. They are useful as intermediates in the preparation of copolysiloxanecarbonates.
摘要:
Macrocyclic oligomers, including polycarbonates, polyesters, polyamides, polyimides, polyetherketones and polyethersulfones, are conveniently prepared from various spiro(bis)indane compounds, especially the 6,6'-difunctional 3,3',3'-tetramethylspiro(bis)indanes. The macrocyclic oligomers may be conveniently converted to linear polymers.
摘要:
Product losses and color formation are sometimes encountered in the synthesis of bisphenol A from phenol and acetone in the presence of a cation exchange resin, particularly in the crude product stream from which bisphenol A has been separated via its phenol adduct. Such losses are suppressed and the crude product stream stabilized and decolorized by contact with an anion exchange resin.
摘要:
Macrocyclic oligoesters and compositions comprising macrocyclic oligoesters are prepared from intermediate molecular weight polyesters. In one embodiment, a diol is contacted with a dicarboxylic acid or a dicarboxylate in the presence of a catalyst to produce a composition comprising a hydroxyalkyl-tenninated polyester oligomer. The hydroxyalkyl-terminated polyester oligomer is heated to produce a composition comprising an intermediate molecular weight polyester which preferably has a molecular weight between about 20,000 Daltons and about 70,000 Daltons. The intermediate molecular weight polyester is heated and a solvent is added prior to or during the heating process to produce a composition comprising a macrocyclic oligoester. An optional step is to separate the macrocyclic oligoester from the composition comprising the macrocyclic oligoester.
摘要:
A method for making diphenyl carbonate free of color bodies is provided by reacting an organic hydroxy compound, such as phenol with carbon monoxide and oxygen in the presence of an effective amount of a palladium catalyst, in the form of a palladium material which is used in combination with a quaternary ammonium salt, an inorganic cocatalyst, such as cobalt diacetate and an organic cocatalyst such as benzophenone or 1,10-phenanthroline. Recycling of catalyst values is also provided.
摘要:
Spirobiindane bisphenols of high purity, suitable for conversion to high molecular weight polycarbonates, are prepared by reacting a bisphenol or 4-isopropenylphenol with a metal halide Lewis acid or an alkanesulfonic acid, followed by removing impurities including phenols, 1-(4-hydroxyphenyl)indanols and the like. A step of purification by precipitation with water from a methanol-methylene chloride solution is included.
摘要:
A sulfonated organic polymer, such as a sulfonated polystyrene ion-exchange resin is provided having organic mercaptan groups attached to backbone sulfone radicals by covalent nitrogen-sulfur linkages. A method for making such sulfonated organic polymer is also provided. The ion-exchange resin can be used to effect phenol-ketone condensation in the synthesis of bisphenols.
