摘要:
The thermal and chemical stability of etherified acetal homopolymers is improved by heat-treating the latter in the molten state at a temperature of at least 180.degree. C., in the presence of a halide of an alkali or alkaline earth metal, until substantially complete degradation of the unstable polyoxymethylene chains.
摘要:
An etherified acetal homopolymer is stabilized by heat-treating said homopolymer suspended in a liquid diluent chosen from water or mixtures thereof with polar organic compounds, preferably in the presence of a basic compound, at a temperature of 100.degree.-160.degree. C and below the melting point of the homopolymer, thereby to substantially degrade the unstable fraction of said homopolymer.
摘要:
The terminal hydroxyl groups of an acetal polymer are esterified or etherified by reaction with an end-capping agent chosen from anhydrides of carboxylic acids, orthoesters and orthocarbonates, by forming an intimate mixture of polymer in powder form and liquid end-capping agent, the amount of said agent in the mixture being less than that which results in loss of the free-flowing characteristics of the powder, and reacting said mixture under stirring at 50.degree.-170.degree. C.

摘要:
Polyoxymethylene is prepared by feeding anhydrous formaldehyde into a reaction medium containing a liquid organic diluent non-solvent for the polyoxymethylene and non-reactive towards the other constituents of the reaction medium, and containing in a dispersed form a polymer A carrying a terminal ionic couple on its macromolecular chain, said polymer A being a polylactamic block of recurring units ##STR1## wherein PM is a linear polymethylene chain having from 3 to 13 carbon atoms, and being present in a proportion of from 0.001 to 0.1% by weight with respect to the polyoxymethylene.
摘要:
Polyoxymethylene is obtained in a stabilized form by polymerizing formaldehyde in a liquid organic diluent containing in a dispersed form a catalyst-stabilizer consisting of a polylactamic polymer carrying a terminal ionic couple on its macromolecular chain, said catalyst-stabilizer being present in an amount of from 0.1 to 5 parts by weight for each 100 parts of polyoxymethylene.
