摘要:
The present invention relates to a dispersion of polymer particles, the particle containing, on average, more than 1 living radicals each, the radicals not being chemically protected. The invention is also directed to a free radical polymerization process resulting in a dispersion containing polymer particles having on average one or more living radicals. The process involves carefully regulating the polymerization conditions to produce small size particles under monomer-starved conditions containing, on average, more than one living radical in every particle. These living polymer radicals can be further reacted to form polymers with a controlled architecture.

Tubular reactor apparatus and processes are provided for improved polymerization including using chain transfer agents and multiple monomer feeds spaced lengthwise along the tubular reactor providing high conversions of monomer into polymer. The invention also relates to polymers made from such a tubular reactor apparatus and processes including those polymers having a low haze value, a density over 0.92 g/cm3 and/or having terminal carbonyl groups. The apparatus and methods uncouple or reduce the dependency between the monomer concentration and transfer agent concentration. The uncoupling in other embodiments may also be varied leading to multiple desirable effects.

摘要:
Controlled stable free radical emulsion polymerization processes employ nitroxide control agents having an alpha carbon atom bearing a destabilizing substituent such as hydrogen. The emulsion polymerizations have living characteristics, including the re-initiation of polymer chains, and provide a high degree of control over molecular weight, particle size, polydispersity and polymer composition and architecture. The processes are useful for the preparation of polymer emulsions, including block copolymers, star and graft copolymers, telechelics and macromonomers from a wide range of monomers.

This invention relates to an anhydrous, liquid phase process for entrapping droplets of a silicon compound in an organic polymer which involves precharging a reactor at between about 50.degree. and about 80.degree. C. with a polymerization initiator and a non-polar solvent in which the silicon compound is soluble; adding to the precharged reactor, silicon compound under vigorous agitation and gradually introducing from about 50 to about 99 wt. %, based on silicon compound, of a polymerizably precipitatable, aliphatically unsaturated monomer at a controlled rate; continuously polymerizing the monomer component, under vigorous agitation with the silicon compound, at between about 50.degree. and about 165.degree. C. while maintaining a desired monomer level of not more than 10% in the reactor and recovering a solid particulate product of silicon droplets entrapped in said polymerized monomer.
摘要:
A process for the continuous preparation of finely divided homopolymers and copolymers of ethene by catalytic polymerization in a circular tube reactor using a liquid alkane as reaction medium in which the ethene or ethene/comonomer mixture to be polymerized is present in dissolved form and the polymer formed is present in suspended form and running the reaction mixture as a cycle stream to which the feed materials are added by bleeding in and from which the polymer formed is withdrawn by bleeding out reaction mixture, comprising (a) maintaining the mean concentration C.sub.m of polymer in the cycle stream at a value within a certain range and (b) effecting the bleeding out of reaction mixture at a point of the cycle stream at which the concentration of polymer has a value which is lower than the mean concentration C.sub.m by a distinct and definite amount.
摘要:
Polymodal MWD ethylene copolymer comprising at least two modes of differing molecular weights. Each mode has at least one of M.sub.w /M.sub.n of less than 2.0, and a M.sub.z /M.sub.w of less than 1.8. The polymodal character of the copolymer is achieved by either (1) withdrawing polymer modes from the reactor from at least one takeoff port, and blending such modes with the reactor effluent, or (2) utilizing at least two catalyst species in the reaction to produce modes of differing molecular weights.

Water-in-oil emulsions of water-soluble ethylenically unsaturated amide monomers, alone or in the presence of acrylic acid or alkyl-substituted acrylic acid are continuously catalytically polymerized, or co-polymerized, in thin films or layers and in the absence of oxygen at temperatures maintained within plus or minus 3*C. of predetermined optimum polymerization or co-polymerization temperatures.

Continuous process for the manufacture of copolymers of styrene and Alpha -methylstyrene having a substantially statistical distribution of the monomers by anionic polymerization at low temperatures with thorough mixing of the reactants. The process is characterized in that at least part of the heat of reaction is removed by evaporative cooling and that the monomers are fed to the polymerization zone at different points.
