Random copolymer catalyst

Versus the Nafion catalyst (random copolymer) higher specific catalytic activity and surface area, relative simplicity of the synthetic method. [Pg.98]

Jeon et al. have recently reported on ring-opening metathesis copolymerizations of cyclooctene and the PGSS-norbornylene monomer performed with Grubbs s catalyst. Random copolymers were then formed and fully charac-... [Pg.253]

Hexafluoiopiopylene and tetiafluoioethylene aie copolymerized, with trichloiacetyl peroxide as the catalyst, at low temperature (43). Newer catalytic methods, including irradiation, achieve copolymerization at different temperatures (44,45). Aqueous and nonaqueous dispersion polymerizations appear to be the most convenient routes to commercial production (1,46—50). The polymerization conditions are similar to those of TFE homopolymer dispersion polymerization. The copolymer of HFP—TFE is a random copolymer that is, HFP units add to the growing chains at random intervals. The optimal composition of the copolymer requires that the mechanical properties are retained in the usable range and that the melt viscosity is low enough for easy melt processing. [Pg.359]

Third-generation high yield supported catalysts are also used in processes in which Hquid monomer is polymerized in continuous stirred tank reactors. The Hypol process (Mitsui Petrochemical), utilizes the same supported catalyst technology as the Spheripol process (133). Rexene has converted the hquid monomer process to the newer high yield catalysts. Shell uses its high yield (SHAC) catalysts to produce homopolymers and random copolymers in the Lippshac process (130). [Pg.416]

Metallocene catalysts produce random copolymers [29-31] with different property profiles (Table 14). These data show that random copolymers have higher stiffness and higher transparency at certain melting point levels. A very low content of extractables in low-melting... [Pg.162]

Currently, more SBR is produced by copolymerizing the two monomers with anionic or coordination catalysts. The formed copolymer has better mechanical properties and a narrower molecular weight distribution. A random copolymer with ordered sequence can also be made in solution using butyllithium, provided that the two monomers are charged slowly. Block copolymers of butadiene and styrene may be produced in solution using coordination or anionic catalysts. Butadiene polymerizes first until it is consumed, then styrene starts to polymerize. SBR produced by coordinaton catalysts has better tensile strength than that produced by free radical initiators. [Pg.353]

The copolymerization occurs in an aqueous emulsion. When free radicals are used, a random copolymer is obtained. Alternating copolymers are produced when a Zieglar-Natta catalyst is employed. Molecular weight can be controlled by adding modifiers and inhibitors. When the polymerization reaches approximately 65%, the reaction mixture is vacuum distilled in presence of steam to recover the monomer. [Pg.353]

Dall Asta and Motroni (44, 57) provided direct experimental evidence for the transalkylidenation mechanism in the case of cycloalkenes. With a catalyst system consisting of WOCI4, C2H6A1C12, and benzoyl peroxide they prepared a random copolymer of cyclooctene and cyclopentene, the cyclo-pentene double bond being labeled with 14C. The distribution of the radioactivity in the copolymer formed will depend on the site of ring opening. [Pg.143]

The effect of a catalyst is important in cationic copolymerizations. Epoxides and /3-lactones form random copolymers only with trialkyl aluminum catalysts. Unusual sequence distributions were observed in the cationic copolymerization of epoxides or lactones using Lewis acids175-177) have been attributed to the di-... [Pg.16]

Thus, this polymerization catalyst yields more random copolymers with styrene, while still maintaining a low vinyl content and high trans-1,4 content. [Pg.79]

For example, a PE-fe-poly(ethylene-co-propylene) diblock composed of crystalline PE and amorphous ethylene/propylene copolymer segments was synthesized from ethylene and ethylene/propylene. The addition of MAO and Ti-FI catalyst 40 (Fig. 25) to an ethylene-saturated toluene at 25 °C resulted in the rapid formation of a living PE (Mn 115,000, MJMn 1.10). The addition of ethylene/propylene (1 3 volume ratio) to this living PE formed a PE-/>poly(ethylcnc-co-propylcnc) block copolymer (Mn 211,000, MJMn 1.16, propylene content 6.4 mol%) [30], As expected, the polymer exhibits a high Tm of 123 °C, indicating that this block copolymer shows good elastic properties at much higher temperatures than the conventional random copolymers of similar densities. [Pg.39]

These catalysts represent the current state-of-the-art in ethylene copolymerization with polar olefinic monomers, being able to copolymerize a wide variety of polar monomers containing both O and N heteroatoms to generate completely linear, high molecular weight, random copolymers. There are leads to enhance the modest activity of these catalysts, and it will be interesting to watch further developments over the next few years. [Pg.174]

After five decades of catalyst research there is slowly emerging a family of discrete late transition metal catalysts that are capable of generating high molecular weight, linear, random copolymers of ethylene and polar comonomers such as acrylates. Further advances in the efficiency of these catalysts will likely give rise to new families of commercial polyolefins with a wealth of new performance properties imparted by the polar groups attached to the polymer backbone. [Pg.176]

Specific catalytic activity of the composites obtained was at least several times higher than the same value for the random copolymer Nafion (even in an esterification reaction considered to be a diffusion-uncontrolled reaction). For the oligomerization reaction of decene-1 with strong diffusion control, the specific catalytic activity of the composites was 35 times higher than that for the random copolymer. Esterification of acrylic acid and alkylation of mesitilene by a substituted phenol were also performed using the composite catalyst. [Pg.98]

Similarly, good results were obtained with poly-(i)-alanine, poly-(L)-leucine and poly-(i)-isoleucine, whereas with poly-(i)-vahne or random copolymers reduced chemical yields as weU as asymmetric induction were obtained. Chemical and optical yields are closely related in all cases. The enantiomeric excesses obtained increased as the average chain length of the catalyst increased varying from 10 to 30 amino acids (ee values between 50 to 99%). For high ee values it seems to be essential that the polymer chain is at least 10 units. The degree of asymmetric induction decreases as the temperature is raised. The amount of catalyst only influences the chemical yield, not the optical yield of... [Pg.373]

This deficiency in the Ziegler catalyst to produce block copolymers and the abilities of anionic initiators to produce it kept the interest in anionic initiators active in many industrial laboratories. This interest in anionic research in these laboratories paid off handsomely in the areas of block and random copolymers. In this review major emphasis will be focused on the major products from both homo and block copolymers currently being manufactured by anionic technique and future trends in this area. HOMOPOLYMERIZATION... [Pg.411]

The failure in separating in fractions possessing optical activity of opposite sign the stereoregular polymers of racemic 5-methyl-l-heptene, polymerized in the presence of the same catalyst as that used to prepare polymers from racemic 3-methyl-l-pentene and 4-methyl-1-hexene (75), might be an indication that, in order to obtain prevailingly (R) and (S) separable polymers instead of random copolymers from racemic vinyl monomers, the asymmetric carbon atom of the monomer must be in a or in / position with respect to the double bond. [Pg.435]

Copolymerization of THF with diketene using AlEt3-H20 catalyst at 0° C was recently described (706). The products were thought to be block copolymers instead of random copolymers. [Pg.586]

Exactly the same result was obtained when the homopolymers were oxidized at — 25°C with a N,N,N, N -tetraethylethylenediamine-cuprous chloride catalyst, conditions which have been reported to cause coupling of DMP homopolymers solely by rearrangement (14). The NMR spectrum of this polymer is shown in Figure 3, together with the spectra of a mixture of homopolymers and of a random copolymer formed by simultaneous oxidation of the monomers. Apparently, dissociation and redistribution occur often enough to determine the structure of the product in this system, even under conditions that favor coupling of polymer molecules by the rearrangement mechanism. [Pg.257]

Well-defined diblock (P—R) and triblock (P R — P) copolymers consisting of the polypropylene block (P) and the ethylene-propylene random copolymer block (R) were prepared by adding ethylene monomer during the living coordination polymerization of propylene with the soluble V(acac)3/Al(C2H5)2Cl/anisole catalyst U1). [Pg.237]

Oxidation of Mixtures of Monomers. The method most likely to yield random copolymers of DMP and DPP is the simultaneous oxidation of a mixture of the two phenols, although this procedure may present problems because of the great difference in reactivity of the two phenols. The production of high molecular weight homopolymer from DPP is reported to require both a very active catalyst, such as tetramethylbutane-diamine-cuprous bromide, and high temperature, conditions which favor carbon-carbon coupling and diphenoquinone formation (Reaction 2) from DMP (II). With the less active pyridine-cuprous chloride catalyst at 25 °C the rate of reaction of DMP, as measured by the rate of oxygen... [Pg.446]

DMP homopolymer at the time the second monomer was added consisted of dead molecules, incapable of redistribution or of further normal polymerization. When the same procedure was followed, but with the less active diethylamine-cuprous bromide catalyst, only random copolymer was obtained, identical to that obtained by oxidation of the two monomers together. The same result was observed when DMP was oxidized with the diethylamine-cuprous bromide catalyst and tetramethyl-butanediamine-cuprous bromide was added along with DPP to increase the polymerization rate (Figure 5). [Pg.457]

A convenient method for avoiding the problems caused by the large difference in reactivity of the two monomers is by using preformed blocks—i.e., by preparing and isolating the homopolymer under conditions most suitable for the polymerization of the particular monomer and then oxidizing a mixture of the polymer with the second monomer. When this procedure was followed, oxidation of DMP polymer with DPP always yielded random copolymer, regardless of the type of catalyst used, while oxidation of DPP polymer with DMP yielded only block copolymers. [Pg.457]
