Monomer synthesis procedures

Diallyldimethylammonium chloride is exclusively synthesized from dimethyl-amine (DMA) and allylchloride, although other methods, such as the synthesis starting with diallyl aminocyanide, have been elaborated [2]. From the DMA process monomers varying in quality are produced. Therefore, the selection of the monomer synthesis procedure primarily depends on the desired purity of the final product. Generally, three qualities of DADMAC can be produced ... 

The monomer synthesis and cyclopolymerization were carried out following the procedure of Butler et al. (21). The resulting polyimide was shown to possess primarily pyrrolidine rings as indicated by infrared spectroscopy (21). Initially, the reduction was carried out with LiAlH in tetrahydrofuran. 

Synthesis. Graft copolymer was formed in aqueous solution by ceric-ion-initiated, radical polymerization of monomer on starch. Polymerization was conducted in an inert, atmosphere. Details of the synthesis procedure may be found in references 41 to 43 In recovering the polymer product, freeze drying was used with care since freeze drying produces a more dissolvable and useful product but can degrade polymers with molecular weights of 1 million or more. Poly(starch-g-(1-amidoethylene)) Poly(starch-g-(1-amidoethylene))... 

Si NMR spectroscopy reveals that the silicon monomers and dimers start to bind into higher silicon oligomers at the very beginning of the Ti-Beta synthesis procedure. After... 

The whole procedure, although valuable for producing high molecular weight polymers, has a weak point in the low yields obtained in the monomer synthesis. Although several attempts were made to improve the synthetic pathway, yields were never higher than 30-40%. 

The gaseous nature of the starting monomer, vinylsilane, requiring an autoclave for polymerization, causes some difficulty in targeted polymer production on a small scale. Such a synthesis procedure, however, is analogous to polyethylene or polypropylene production. Therefore PVS directly derived from vinylsilane is potentially promising for large-scale production and widespread use in industry. 

Monomer Synthesis. The synthesis of 1 was based on the published procedure of Reppe for the divinyl ether of triethylene glycol (11) The reaction conditions given in the Experimental were those found to give the best yields of 1 with this method. Some variations in reaction time and temperature as well as catalyst concentration were examined in attempts to improve the yield. Milder conditions reduced the rate of reaction without increasing the final yield, while harsher conditions led to extensive decomposition. Several additional mono- and divinyl ethers of oligo-oxyethylenes have been synthesized with this procedure and in general, yields were low. 

As a consequence of its simplicity PTC soon received widespread attention by academic and industrial chemists and is now an established procedure for many industrial applications, e.g., in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries, as well as in monomer synthesis and polymer modification. 

One of the more common difficulties in bonding pine veneers and chips is adhesive dryout. Dry-out is associated with the high liquid absorbancy of pine sapwood and it appears especially during long assembly times. This problem can be overcome by using resins modified through reaction with alkylated phenols, especially 3,4-xylenol [52]. Another technique used to achieve similar results is the manipulation of synthesis procedures used in preparing a standard PF resin [52]. The dry-out resistance imparted by alkylated phenols is due to an initial semithermoplastic character in the resin. This is derived from their monomer bifunctionality and the linear polymer that is consequently formed. 

Considering the results obtained from the ROP test reactions in Sect. 3.3.1.2, the lactide block of poly(4-X-styrene)- -poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PXS-ft-PLA) was polymerized according to the general synthesis procedure described in Sect. 3.2.6 under the following conditions Equimolar amounts of DBU and thiourea were chosen as catalyst and chloroform as solvent. The molar ratio of lactide catalyst was 50 1 and the combined mass concentration of the monomer and macroinitiator in chloroform was 10 %. The stirring mixtures were allowed to react at room temperate for at least 80 min. 

Several groups have conducted graft copolymerizations on starch or its purified components, amylose and amylopectin. The syntheses are based on attack of the anhydroglucose unit of starch by cerium (+4) ion. The free radical produced from this attack is then immersed in a monomer solution polymerizable by free radical, chain polymerization and a graft copolymer is formed. A typical synthesis procedure (10,16) is as follows.
