摘要:
A process for forming a copolymer of butadiene and other monomers such as styrene is disclosed wherein the final product is characterized by a low residual butadiene content. The process comprises: (a) charging a reaction vessel with butadiene and styrene; (b) initiating said copolymerization reaction; (c) after the exotherm phase of said reaction, purging said reaction vessel with an inert gas while heating said reaction vessel to a final polymerization temperature.
摘要:
A process which comprises reacting a polyester resin endcapped with hydroxyl moieties or groups with an organic acid anhydride at a temperature of from about 125.degree. C. to about 200.degree. C., thereby resulting in a polyester resin endcapped with acidic moieties or acid groups.
摘要:
A suspension polymerization process for the preparation of a polymeric material formed from at least two monomers, a non-gaseous monomer and a gaseous monomer. The composition of the beads or particles of the polymeric material is controlled by adding gaseous monomer to the vapor phase after polymerization of about 5% to about 90% by weight of the non-gaseous monomer or by removing a portion or substantially all of the gaseous monomer in the vapor phase before polymerization of about 70% by weight of the gaseous monomer in the aqueous suspension, or a combination thereof.
摘要:
A process for the preparation of toner comprising:(i) preparing a pigment dispersion in water, which dispersion is comprised of pigment, an ionic surfactant, and an optional charge control agent;(ii) shearing the pigment dispersion with a polymeric latex comprised of resin, a counterionic surfactant with a charge polarity of opposite sign to that of said ionic surfactant, and which latex contains a nonionic surfactant thereby forming a homogeneous or a uniform blend;(iii) heating the above sheared homogeneous blend below about the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin to form electrostatically bound toner size aggregates;(iv) reshearing the above electrostatically bound toner aggregates (iii) to fragment or break down said toner aggregates of (iii) into smaller average diameter particle size;(v) heating the resulting formed sheared homogeneous blend (iv) comprised of resin, pigment particles, and the ionic, counterionic and nonionic surfactants in water below about the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resin while continuously stirring at about 450 to about 800 revolutions per minute to form electrostatically bound toner size aggregates with a narrow particle size distribution;(vi) adding further ionic or nonionic surfactant in an amount of from about 0.1 to about 10 percent by weight of water to minimize further growth or enlargement of the particles in the coalescence step (vii); and(vii) heating the formed statically bound aggregated particles of (vi) about above the Tg of the resin to provide coalesced particles of toner(viii) separating said toner; and(ix) drying said toner.
摘要:
A free radical suspension polymerization process for obtaining crosslinked styrene butadiene ternary copolymers which comprises the polymerization of styrene monomers, butadiene monomers, and crosslinking components in the presence of a surfactant, a stabilizer, and a first and second initiator; and wherein the aforementioned components are present in an aqueous phase; heating the resulting aqueous mixture at a temperature of from about 50.degree. C. to about 110.degree. C.; thereafter heating the mixture at a temperature of from about 110.degree. C. to about 150.degree. C.; followed by cooling and isolating the desired product.
