摘要:
A method of making polyetherimide comprising reacting a first diamine having four bonds between the amine groups, a second diamine having greater than or equal to five bonds between the amine groups, 4-halophthalic anhydride and 3-halophthalic in the presence of a solvent and a polymer additive to produce a mixture comprising 3,3′-bis(halophthalimide)s, 3,4′-bis(halophthalimide)s, 4,4′-bis(halophthalimide)s, solvent and the polymer additive wherein the molar ratio of 3-halophthalic anhydride to 4-halophthalic anhydride is 98:02 to 50:50 and the molar ratio of the first diamine to the second diamine is 98:02 to 02:98; and reacting the mixture with an alkali metal salt of a dihydroxy aromatic compound to produce a polyetherimide having a cyclics content less than or equal to 5 weight percent, based on the total weight of the polyetherimide, wherein the polymer additive dissolves in the solvent at the imidization reaction temperature and pressure.

Processes for increasing the chemical resistance of a surface of a formed article are disclosed. The formed article is produced from a polymeric composition comprising a photoactive additive containing photoactive groups derived from a monofunctional benzophenone. The surface of the formed article is then exposed to ultraviolet light to cause crosslinking of the photoactive additive and produce a crosslinked surface. The crosslinking enhances the chemical resistance of the surface. Various means for controlling the depth of the crosslinking are also discussed.
摘要:
Articles having improved flame retardance and chemical resistance properties can be made from blends containing a cross-linkable polycarbonate resin having repeating units derived from a dihydroxybenzophenone. Predictive equations can be used to relate properties of the blend and the polycarbonate resin to the fmal properties of the article, and permit design of articles with desired combinations of properties.
摘要:
Polymeric blends having improved flame retardance properties and good ductility at low temperatures are disclosed. The blend is formed from (A) a photoactive additive containing a photoactive group derived from a monofunctional benzophenone; and (B) a polymer resin which is different from the photoactive additive. The additive can be a compound, oligomer, or polymer. When exposed to ultraviolet light, crosslinking will occur between the photoactive additive and the polymer resin, enhancing the chemical resistance and flame retardance while maintaining ductility.

Polymeric compositions having improved mechanical properties are disclosed. The compositions comprise a cross-linkable polycarbonate resin having a photoactive group derived from a benzophenone, and a reinforcing filler. The composition contains from about 1 wt % to about 70 wt % of the reinforcing filler, which is most desirably in the form of glass fibers. Articles formed from the compositions have improved flexural modulus, flame resistance, and chemical resistance.

摘要:
Methods and systems for photopatterning a polycarbonate article are described. The article comprises a cross-linkable polycarbonate with a photoactive group derived from a benzophenone. The article is selectively exposed to UV radiation to cause crosslinking at exposed portions of the article. This can be done by using a photomask to shield portions that are not to be cross-linked, or by focusing light on selective portions of the article. Systems for practicing the methods include a polycarbonate article, a UV light source, and a photomask including a plurality of openings for selectively exposing the polycarbonate article to UV light.
