Addition polymers formation

Smith, D. A. (Ed.), Addition Polymers Formation and Characterization, Plenum Press, New York, 1968. [Pg.422]

In non-supported catalysts, most active centers (>95%) become encased within the growing polymer particle and thereby become unavailable for additional polymer formation. This results in low catalyst activity. A major improvement occurred in the early 1970s when supported Ziegler-Natta catalysts began to emerge. Leading polyethylene producers of the time (Shell, Solvay Cie, Hoechst, Mitsui and Montecatini Edison) developed many of these catalysts (8). Of course, most have morphed into present-day companies, such as LyondellBasell and INEOS. [Pg.39]

The addition polymerization of a vinyl monomer CH2=CHX involves three distinctly different steps. First, the reactive center must be initiated by a suitable reaction to produce a free radical or an anion or cation reaction site. Next, this reactive entity adds consecutive monomer units to propagate the polymer chain. Finally, the active site is capped off, terminating the polymer formation. If one assumes that the polymer produced is truly a high molecular weight substance, the lack of uniformity at the two ends of the chain—arising in one case from the initiation, and in the other from the termination-can be neglected. Accordingly, the overall reaction can be written... [Pg.14]

In addition to graft copolymer attached to the mbber particle surface, the formation of styrene—acrylonitrile copolymer occluded within the mbber particle may occur. The mechanism and extent of occluded polymer formation depends on the manufacturing process. The factors affecting occlusion formation in bulk (77) and emulsion processes (78) have been described. The use of block copolymers of styrene and butadiene in bulk systems can control particle size and give rise to unusual particle morphologies (eg, coil, rod, capsule, cellular) (77). [Pg.204]

In general, polymers are formed by two types of reactions condensation and addition. The formation of a polyester by polycondensation may be illustrated as follows. [Pg.429]

Polyurethane Formation. The key to the manufacture of polyurethanes is the unique reactivity of the heterocumulene groups in diisocyanates toward nucleophilic additions. The polarization of the isocyanate group enhances the addition across the carbon—nitrogen double bond, which allows rapid formation of addition polymers from diisocyanates and macroglycols. [Pg.342]

Because PEA is such an important fragrance material this simple, essentially one-step process has been exhaustively studied to optimize reaction conditions and purification procedures. Because of the high reactivity of the iatermediates and the tendency toward polymer formation, critical factors such as throughput, temperature, molar ratios of reactants, addition rates, reactor materials and design, and agitation rate must be carefully balanced to provide an economical product with acceptable odor properties. [Pg.62]

Fire and uncontroUed polymerization are a concern in the handling of chloroprene monomer. The refined monomer is ordinarily stored refrigerated under nitrogen and inhibited. This is supported by routine monitoring for polymer formation and vessel temperature. Tanks and polymerization vessels are equipped for emergency inhibitor addition. Formalized process hazard studies, which look beyond the plant fence to potential for community involvement, are routine for most chemical processes. [Pg.549]

Polymer formation during the Kharasch reaction or ATRA can occur if trapping of the radical (123), by halocarbon or metal complex respectively, is sufficiently slow such that multiple monomer additions can occur. Efficient polymer synthesis additionally requires that the trapping reaction is reversible and that both the activation and deactivation steps are facile. [Pg.486]

In 1929 Carothers proposed a generally useful differentiation between two broad classes of polymers condensation polymers in which the molecular formula of the structural unit (or units) lacks certain atoms present in the monomer from which it is formed, or to which it may be degraded by chemical means, and addition polymers, in which the molecular formula of the structural unit (or units) is identical with that of the monomer from which the polymer is derived. Condensation polymers may be formed from monomers bearing two or more reactive groups of such a character that they may condense intermolecu-larly with the elimination of a by-product, often water. The polyamides and polyesters referred to above afford prime examples of condensation polymers. The formation of a polyester from a suitable hydroxy acid takes place as follows ... [Pg.37]

As previously indicated, both condensation and addition polymers may be prepared from monomers of functionality exceeding two, with resulting formation of nonlinear polymers. Hence the distinction between linear and nonlinear polymers subdivides both the condensation and the addition polymers, and four types of polymers are at once differentiable linear condensation, nonlinear condensation, linear addition, and nonlinear addition. The distinction between linear and nonlinear polymers is clearly warranted not only by the marked differences in their structural patterns but also by the sharp divergence of their properties. [Pg.40]

Temperature control at -15° to -25°C was also required for maximum yield. The best results were obtained by maintaining a temperature of -20 to -25°C during the addition of citral anil to the acid and at -15°C for the duration of the reaction. At this temperature range, the formation of a-cyclocitral (III) is favored. Higher temperatures caused excessive polymer formation and favored formation of e-cyclocitral whereas lower temperatures caused a reduction 1n the yield of the citral mixture. At least part of the problem with the lower temperature reaction was the fact that the sulfuric acid tended to freeze around the inside of the reaction vessel causing the effective molar ratio of acid to anil to be reduced. These lower temperature reaction mixtures were also lighter in color which indicated less polymer formation but this was accompanied by a lower yield of cyclocitrals. [Pg.419]

Comparing Equations 14 and 19 the rates of polymer formation and inifer addition are equal under stationary conditions ... [Pg.129]
