Polymer hydrogenation

Mascaramatic mascaras have the largest share of the market. Emulsion mascaramatics are cream-type mascaras dispensed from containers that include a closure provided with a wand ending in a small bmsh. In solvent mascaramatics, mascara masses are pigment suspensions in thickened hydrocarbon solvents such as isoparaffins and petroleum distillates. The thickeners include waxes (microcrystalline [63231 -60-7] camauba [8015-86-9] or ouricury [68917-70-4], polymers (hydrogenated polyisobutene [61693-08-1]), and esters (propylene glycol distearate [6182-11-2] or trilaurin [538-24-9]).

Two other features are notable in Table III. The swelling values for the compression molded samples (CM) run consistently less than those for the solvent-cast films. Apparently there is more "entrapment" of the amorphous portions within the crystallites during and after the molding. Secondly, the degradation experienced by the polymer hydrogenated at 69°C. (see Table II) instead of 52°C. is clearly demonstrated by the higher swelling value.

An understanding of the kinetics and catalytic mechanism of polymer hydrogenation is essential in order to optimize the reaction conditions, to control the reaction systems, and to design commercial production processes. Catalytic kinetic mechanisms for Rh-, Os- and Ru-complex polymer hydrogenation systems have been extensively investigated, and are summarized in the following sections. 

RhCl(PPh3)3 has been used for the homogeneous hydrogenation of various diene-based polymers, and its catalytic mechanism is understood to a considerable extent. Parent et al. [81] proposed a mechanism which has been found to be consistent with the kinetic data for various diene-based polymer hydrogenation systems and an understanding of the coordination chemistry of RhCl(PPh3)3 in solution. The main points comprising the mechanism are outlined as follows ... 

Kinetic results show that the hydrogenation reaction rate exhibits a first-order dependence on both hydrogen concentration, [H2], and the total ruthenium concentration, [Ru]t and an inverse dependence on the nitrile concentration, [CN]. The catalytic mechanism proposed for polymer hydrogenation is illustrated in Scheme 19.5 and the main points of the mechanism are outlined below ... 

The Ziegler-type catalysts contain also a metal-alkyl, like triethylaluminum. They work usually at moderate temperature and pressure. The most active catalysts for polymer hydrogenation are the noble metal complex catalysts, and they can also be used for reduction of elastomers in the latex phase. The most difficult task is the removal of the catalyst from the reaction mixture. The methods used are based on extraction, adsorption, absorption or on their combination.

At 180° and 40 atmospheres pressure, other investigators obtained a 65% yield of polymer hydrogenation of whieh yielded a liquid containing 54% of heptane fraction consisting of approximately 20% of 2,2-dimethylpentane and 80% of 2,3-dimethylpentane (Hoog et al., 34).

Because LHC is a complex of interpenetrating polymers, hydrogen bonds and ester cross-links can reestablish themselves unless further processing occurs promptly. Therefore, in practice, this disruption of the LHC phase may not be distinguishable from the subsequent stages.
