    Abstract: A method for manufacturing a poly(imide) prepolymer powder includes combining a bisanhydride powder or organic diamine and a solvent comprising an alcohol, a water-soluble ketone or water to form a mixture, adding an organic diamine or bisanhydride powder to the mixture to form a poly(imide) prepolymer, and removing the solvent to provide the poly(imide) prepolymer powder. A method for manufacturing a poly(imide) prepolymer varnish includes combining a bisanhydride powder or organic diamine and a solvent comprising an alcohol, a water-soluble ketone or water to form a mixture, and adding an organic diamine or bisanhydride powder to the mixture to form a poly(imide) prepolymer. The method of manufacturing the varnish further includes at least one of adding an effective amount of a secondary or tertiary amine to solubilize the poly(imide) prepolymer powder, heating the mixture to a temperature effective to provide the varnish, or agitating the mixture to provide the varnish. The poly(imide) prepolymer powder and varnish can have a residual organic diamine content of less than or equal to 1000 ppm. A poly(imide) polymer prepared from the prepolymer powder or varnish is also disclosed.

    Abstract: A method of preparing polymer particles includes combining a polyetherimide and a solvent at a first temperature to provide a slurry, wherein the polyetherimide is not soluble in the solvent at the first temperature; heating the slurry to a second temperature and at a pressure effective to dissolve the polyetherimide in the solvent to provide a homogenous solution; cooling the homogenous solution to a third temperature to provide a dispersion including a plurality of polymer particles; and isolating the polymer particles. The polymer particles have a Dv90 particle size of less than or equal to 250 micrometers. Polymers powders prepared according to the method are also described herein, wherein the powder includes a plurality of semi-crystalline polymer particles having a Dv90 of less than or equal to 250 micrometers.

    Abstract: A process for the manufacture of thermoplastic polymer particles, including combining a first solution including a thermoplastic polymer and an organic solvent with a second solution including an aqueous solvent and a surfactant to provide an emulsion. The emulsion is transferred into a receiving water to remove the organic solvent and form an aqueous dispersion including a plurality of thermoplastic polymer particles dispersed in the aqueous solvent. The thermoplastic polymer particles having a D50 of 20 to 100 μm are recovered in a yield of greater than 85%. Thermoplastic polymer particles prepared according to the method are also disclosed.
