摘要:
Partially unsaturated polymers are dissolved in a two component solvent comprising a first component having a reactivity toward ozone less than carbon-carbon double bonds but more reactive than carbon-carbon single bonds and a second component being inert toward ozone. Introduction of ozone into the solution produces ozonides which are readily cleft into difunctional aliphatic species that can be converted to e.g. carboxy-terminated or multifunctional carboxy substituted aliphatic compounds. These may be used as monomeric species in various polymerization schemes as such, in preparation of polyamides, for example, or may be reduced to aldehydes or alcohols to be used in the preparation of such polymers as polyesters, polyurethanes, poly (Schiff bases), etc. The carboxylated products may also be employed as ionomers, which are useful as surfactants. Monocarboxyl terminated polyethylene having a number average molecular weight of from about 4,000 to 100,000 are provided. Poly(carboxymethyl) substituted polyethylenes, wherein from about 0.05 to 1.3 percent of the hydrogen atom or polyethylene are substituted with carboxymethyl groups, are obtained.

Novel cycloaliphatic diamines have been prepared which are consisting of two unequivalent amine groups. The diamines are prepared by reduction of aromatic dinitro compounds. The polyamides made from these diamines are useful in forming fibers and films having excellent high temperature properties.
摘要:
Process of detecting the presence of certain gases, including certain pollutants, in small concentrations; or to cause partial polymerization of certain polyacetylene compositions for use in time/temperature history indicators or radiation dosage indicators. The process involves contacting a reactive gas, such as a nitrogen oxide, a halide or ozone, with a crystalline substituted acetylenic monomer containing at least two conjugated triple bonds and substituents having at least one atom of oxygen or nitrogen. In particular the acetylenic compound is 2,4-hexadiyne-1,6-bis(phenylurethane) crystallized from tetrahydrofuran or acetone.
摘要:
Improved novel single film bipolar membranes having an ion selectivity above 80% in an electrolyte medium of about one mole, are prepared containing a relatively high amount, i.e. at least 15% of an insoluble cross-linked aromatic polymer. Before the styrenated sheet is chemically functionalized, the film surface is specifically treated, i.e. cleaned to make it more receptive to functional groups, so that the cationic-exchange groups and anion-exchange groups can be introduced homogeneously from each side of the surface-cleaned film, and a single-film bipolar membrane of superior durability, stability, and quality control results.
摘要:
A membrane solvent extraction system is utilized to separate two substantially immiscible liquids and extract a solute through a solvent swollen membrane from one solvent liquid phase to the extracting solvent liquid without direct contact between the liquid phases. The membrane extraction method has advantages over conventional solvent extraction and may be applied as the mechanism in separation, purification, pollutant removal and recovery processes.
摘要:
Stable single film bipolar membranes of prolonged life and improved performance particularly for use in electrodialysis water splitting process, are prepared by introducing a more stable interface in the membrane structure. After the cationic exchange groups are preformed on an insoluble cross-linked aromatic polymeric matrix, the dissociable anionic exchange groups may be introduced more intimately chemically bonded in position by using multi-functional compounds containing mixed tertiary, secondary and primary amine groups, so that the resulting interface is comparatively more stable, and is less likely to be neutralized, therefore, attaining longer life-time and a higher level of performance.
摘要:
Stable bipolar membranes of high permselectivity and low potential drop are prepared using either an anion or cation preformed first layer upon which a second layer or coating of an ion exchange resin of the opposite charge carried in a matrix polymer is applied. The second layer may be suitably applied such as by casting as a slurry of the ion exchange resin in a solution or by laminating a layer comprising a dispersion of the resin in a solid or fused polymer. Optionally, the surface of the first layer may be treated to increase the resin concentration and/or bonding at the interface, such as by sanding, etching, etc.
摘要:
Novel cross-linked interpolymer membranes of substantially improved efficiency and durability are prepared from a co-mixture of a hydrophilic polymer of [1, .omega.-alkylene(2,6-diketopiperazine)-1,4-dicarboxamide] and a hydrophobic polymer such as polyvinylidene fluoride, by dissolving these polymers in a suitable solvent, forming films of suitable thickness from the solution and thereafter preferably crosslinking the dissolved mixture.
摘要:
Superior bipolar membranes are prepared having high performances. The improvement is achieved by (1) using high performance component ion exchange membranes, and (2) controlling the method of joining two component membranes into a bipolar membrane. The method of preparation of high performance component ion exchange membranes is also disclosed.
摘要:
Novel polyelectrolyte membranes of substantially improved efficiency and durability are prepared from a preswollen film containing a relatively high amount of an insoluble cross-linked aromatic polymer. By preswelling the insoluble matrix under controlled conditions preferably to an equilibrium stage, the dissociable ion-exchange groups may be introduced more uniformly onto the aromatic nuclei of the matrix to a desired depth of the film. Controlled penetration of functional groups is important in preparing high performance cationic, anionic membranes as well as bipolar membranes. The membranes so prepared have low electrical resistance, improved current efficiency, undergo negligible degradation and with excellent durability.
