A variety of additives are used to control the properties of wetting and dispersion of pigments, flow, Hthography, and mb-off of inks. These additives belong to classes of materials such as surfactants, bentonite clays, alkyds, functional resins, polymers, etc. 

The production of alkylphenols exceeds 450,000 t/yr on a worldwide basis. Alkylphenols of greatest commercial importance have alkyl groups ranging in size from one to twelve carbons. The direct use of alkylphenols is limited to a few minor appUcations such as epoxy-curing catalysts and biocides. The vast majority of alkylphenols are used to synthesize derivatives which have appUcations ranging from surfactants to pharmaceuticals. The four principal markets are nonionic surfactants, phenoUc resins, polymer additives, and agrochemicals. 

The term aminoplastics has been coined to cover a range of resinous polymers produced by interaction of amines or amides with aldehydes. Of the various polymers of this type that have been produced there are two of current commercial importance in the field of plastics, the urea-formaldehyde and the melamine-formaldehyde resins. There has in the past also been some commercial interest in aniline-formaldehyde resins and in systems containing thiourea but today these are of little or no importance. Melamine-phenol-formaldehyde resins have also been introduced for use in moulding powders, and benzoguanamine-based resins are used for surface coating applications. 

The structures of these ylide polymers were determined and confirmed by IR and NMR spectra. These were the first stable sulfonium ylide polymers reported in the literature. They are very important for such industrial uses as ion-exchange resins, polymer supports, peptide synthesis, polymeric reagent, and polyelectrolytes. Also in 1977, Hass and Moreau [60] found that when poly(4-vinylpyridine) was quaternized with bromomalonamide, two polymeric quaternary salts resulted. These polyelectrolyte products were subjected to thermal decyana-tion at 7200°C to give isocyanic acid or its isomer, cyanic acid. The addition of base to the solution of polyelectro-lyte in water gave a yellow polymeric ylide.

The reactors are cylindrical in shape and can carry up to 30 mg of resin. Polymer sieves at the top and bottom of the cylinders serve for liquid feed and withdrawal. The array of reactors is attached to a capillary system allowing feed to either columns or rows. This distribution system is said to provide uniform charges to the various reactors. A specific detail of the reaction system is that mixing is achieved by pneumatic actuation using a fluoropolymer membrane (Figure 4.36). 

The Kumada-Corriu reaction is characterized by mild conditions and clean conversions [2]. A disadvantage of previous Kumada-Corriu reactions was due to the use of homogeneous catalysts, with more difficult product separation. Recently, an unsymmetrical salen-type nickel(II) complex was synthesized with a phenol functionality that allows this compound to be linked to Merrifield resin polymer beads (see original citation in [2]). By this means, heterogeneously catalyzed Kumada-Corriu reactions have become possible.

Molten or resinous polymer is then introduced into the integrated process unit and combined with the treated filler. Other stages, including addition of further treatment, devolatilization, pressurization and die-forming may also be required depending on the nature of the composition and its intended application.

PBDEs are used in different resins, polymers, and substrates at levels ranging from 5 to 30% by weight (EU 2001). Plastic materials that utilize PBDEs as flame retardants include ABS polyacrylonitrile (PAN) polyamide(PA) polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) polyethylene (PE) cross-linked polyethylene (XPE) polyethylene terephthalate (PET) polypropylene (PP) polystyrene (PS) high-impact polystyrene (HIPS) polyvinyl chloride (PVC) polyurethane (PUR) and unsaturated polyester (UPE). These polymers and examples of their final products are summarized inTable 5-2 (Hardy 2002 WHO 1994a).
