The invention is directed towards a metal complex having the formula LMX.sub.1 X.sub.2. L is a bidentate nitrogen-containing ligand with more than two nitrogen atoms. M is copper, silver, or gold. X.sub.1 and X.sub.2 are independently selected from the group consisting of halogens, C.sub.1 through C.sub.12 straight chain, branched, or cycloalkyl or aryl, C.sub.1 through C.sub.12 straight chain, branched, or cycloalkoxy, hydride, triflate, trifluoroacetate, trisperfluorotetraphenylborate, and tetrafluoroborate. Such metal complexes have a tetrahedral or pseudo-tetrahedral structure. The invention relates to a catalyst composition of the reaction product of the metal complex and an activating cocatalyst.

A process and catalyst system is disclosed herein for the preparation of (co)polymers having a 1,2-microstructure of between about 20 and about 65 percent. These (co)polymers are prepared in a hydrocarbon or non-polar solvent from a monomer system which contains at least one 1,3-diene monomer. The catalyst system which is employed in the production of the (co)polymer is a combination of an anionic initiator based on lithium and a phosphine oxide modifier which is substituted with three saturated heterocyclic rings, each hetero ring containing one nitrogen atom and either four, five or six carbon atoms.

The invention disclosed herein provides a novel thermally reversible copolymer having up to about 11 percent by weight of an N-(alkoxymethyl)acrylamide, a diene-containing synthetic rubber and a metal. The thermally reversible copolymer can be blended with conventional styrene-butadiene rubbers to improve the green strength thereof. Also disclosed herein is a process for improving the green strength of styrene-butadiene rubber which includes the steps of charging a reaction vessel with water, an emulsifier, an initiator, an N-(alkoxymethyl)acrylamide monomer and a vinyl monomer where one is desired, purging the vessel with an inert gas, charging a diene monomer and an activator to the reaction vessel, polymerizing the monomers to form a colymer latex, coagulating the latex with an aqueous metal salt to form a thermally reversible polymer and compounding the thermally reversible polymer with styrene-butadiene rubber.

The graft copolymer is the reaction of a backbone polymer having allylic chloride groups therein and monomers forming a pendant graft polymer in the presence of a coinitiator. The monomers have the formula ##STR1## wherein R is an alkyl group having from 1 to 15 carbon atoms, a cycloalkyl group having from 4 to 15 carbon atoms, an aryl group having from 6 to 15 carbon atoms, combinations thereof, or hydrogen. The amount of the pendant graft polymer portion by weight ranges from about 0.5 percent to about 90 percent based upon the total weight of the total graft copolymer with the pendant graft polymer being substituted on the polymer backbone in lieu of the chlorine atom of the allylic chloride group. The backbone polymer is selected from the class consisting of poly(vinyl chloride), polychloroprene, and unsaturated elastomers, the unsaturated elastomers being selected from the class consisting of chlorinated polydienes having repeating units containing from 4 to 12 carbon atoms, polychloroprene, chlorinated butyl rubber, chlorinated EPDM, chlorinated natural rubber, chlorinated styrene-butadiene rubber, and blends thereof.
摘要:
When polyphosphazenes are exposed to elevated temperatures, their physical properties often deteriorate. The addition of a stabilizing compound represented by the structure: ##STR1## wherein W is --CRR'-CRR'-- or ##STR2## AND WHEREIN R and R' are selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl, acyl or a mixture thereof, and M is zinc or magnesium; to polyphosphazene rubbers result in improved retention of the physical properties of such polyphosphazenes. Further, the use of additives of this type does not adversely affect the ability of peroxy compounds to cure the polyphosphazenes to form vulcanizates.Especially useful compounds represented by the above structural formula are zinc or magnesium 1,2-bis(2-oxybenzylideneamino)ethylene.
