The major application of organophosphorus polymers has so far been in flameproofing and fire retardancy, but they have also found an important role in the modification of the properties of established non-phosphorus polymeric materials. In addition, growing applications lie in the areas of ion exchange materials, snrface adhesives, catalysts and tooth preservation agents. 

As is well known, applications of adsorption in major industrial areas (adhesives, catalysts, colloids, etc.) require a detailed understanding of the phenomena from a molecular or microscopic point of view, which, in a great number of cases, can only be derived from computer simulations [14]. For example, computer simulations permit one to resolve uncertainties associated with surface impurities, heterogeneity, or the presence of micropores. 

Sorbitol is manufactured by the reduction of glucose in aqueous solution using hydrogen with a nickel catalyst. It is used in the manufacture of ascorbic acid (vitamin C), various surface active agents, foodstuffs, pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, dentifrices, adhesives, polyurethane foams, etc. 

Tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is used in elastomer production. As a solvent for the polymerization initiator, it finds appHcation in the manufacture of chlorohydrin mbber. Additionally, tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol is used as a catalyst solvent-activator and reactive diluent in epoxy formulations for a variety of apphcations. Where exceptional moisture resistance is needed, as for outdoor appHcations, furfuryl alcohol is used jointly with tetrahydrofurfuryl alcohol in epoxy adhesive formulations. 

The primary adhesive used ia hardwood plywood is urea—formaldehyde (UF) mixed with wheat flour as an extender to improve spreadabiUty, reduce penetration, and provide dry-out resistance. A catalyst may also be added to UF resias to speed the cure or to cause the UF to cure. Scavengers also may be added to reduce formaldehyde emissions from finished panels. If more water-resistance is requited using a UF bond, small amounts of melamine maybe added, producing a melamine—urea—formaldehyde (MUF) adhesive. 

Esters. Most acryhc acid is used in the form of its methyl, ethyl, and butyl esters. Specialty monomeric esters with a hydroxyl, amino, or other functional group are used to provide adhesion, latent cross-linking capabihty, or different solubihty characteristics. The principal routes to esters are direct esterification with alcohols in the presence of a strong acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid, a soluble sulfonic acid, or sulfonic acid resins addition to alkylene oxides to give hydroxyalkyl acryhc esters and addition to the double bond of olefins in the presence of strong acid catalyst (19,20) to give ethyl or secondary alkyl acrylates. 

Phenolic Resins. Phenohc resins (qv) are formed by the reaction of phenol [108-95-2] C H O, and formaldehyde [50-00-0] CH2O. If basic conditions and an excess of formaldehyde are used, the result is a resole phenohc resin, which will cure by itself Hberating water. If an acid catalyst and an excess of phenol are used, the result is a novolac phenohc resin, which is not self-curing. Novolac phenohc resins are typically formulated to contain a curing agent which is most often a material known as hexamethylenetetraamine [100-97-0] C H22N4. Phenohc resin adhesives are found in film or solution... 

The physical properties of polyurethane adhesives result from a special form of phase separation which occurs in the cross-linked polyurethane stmcture. The urethane portions of polyurethanes tend to separate from the polyol portion of the resin, providing good shear strength, good low temperature flexibiUty, and high peel strength. Catalysts such as dibutyltin dilaurate [77-58-7], stannous octoate [1912-83-0], l,4-diazabicyclo[2.2.2]octane... 

Other Plastics Uses. The plasticizer range alcohols have a number of other uses in plastics hexanol and 2-ethylhexanol are used as part of the catalyst system in the polymerization of acrylates, ethylene, and propylene (55) the peroxydicarbonate of 2-ethylhexanol is utilized as a polymerization initiator for vinyl chloride various trialkyl phosphites find usage as heat and light stabHizers for plastics organotin derivatives are used as heat stabHizers for PVC octanol improves the compatibHity of calcium carbonate filler in various plastics 2-ethylhexanol is used to make expanded polystyrene beads (56) and acrylate esters serve as pressure sensitive adhesives. 

Hydrocarbon resins based on CPD are used heavily in the adhesive and road marking industries derivatives of these resins are used in the production of printing inks. These resins may be produced catalyticaHy using typical carbocationic polymerization techniques, but the large majority of these resins are synthesized under thermal polymerization conditions. The rate constants for the Diels-Alder based dimerization of CPD to DCPD are weU known (49). The abiHty to polymerize without Lewis acid catalysis reduces the amount of aluminous water or other catalyst effluents/emissions that must be addressed from an environmental standpoint. Both thermal and catalyticaHy polymerized DCPD/CPD-based resins contain a high degree of unsaturation. Therefore, many of these resins are hydrogenated for certain appHcations. 

Catalysis. Ion implantation and sputtering in general are useful methods for preparing catalysts on metal and insulator substrates. This has been demonstrated for reactions at gas—soHd and Hquid—soHd interfaces. Ion implantation should be considered in cases where good adhesion of the active metal to the substrate is needed or production of novel materials with catalytic properties different from either the substrate or the pure active metal is wanted (129—131). Ion beam mixing of deposited films also promises interesting prospects for the preparation of catalysts (132). 

In the other market areas, lead naphthenates are used on a limited basis in extreme pressure additives for lubricating oils and greases. Sodium and potassium naphthenates are used in emulsiftable oils, where they have the advantage over fatty acid soaps of having improved disinfectant properties. Catalyst uses include cobalt naphthenate as a cross-linking catalyst in adhesives (52) and manganese naphthenate as an oxidation catalyst (35). Metal naphthenates are also being used in the hydroconversion of heavy petroleum fractions (53,54) and bitumens (55). 

Catalysts. The alkanolamines continue to find use as blocked catalysts for textile resins, coatings resins, adhesives, etc. Of particular utifity in curing durable-press textiles is AMP-HCl. Other salts, such as those of the benzoin tosylate or A-toluenesulfonic acid, find utifity in melamine- or urea-based coatings (18) (see Amino resins and plastics). 

Titanium alkoxides are used for the hardening and cross-linking of epoxy, siUcon, urea, melamine, and terephthalate resins in the manufacture of noncorrodable, high temperature lacquers in the sol-gel process as water repellents and adhesive agents (especially with foils) to improve glass surfaces as catalyst in olefin polymeri2ation, and for condensation and esterification.
