Thus, the polyacetylene film can be produced in a uniform thickness and in a relatively large area by introducing the Ziegler-Natta catalyst of the suitable quantity, and the catalyst can be spread over the entire surface rapidly by the relative rotation between the conduit and the vessel.Type: GrantFiled: October 31, 1986Date of Patent: May 17, 1988Assignee: Hoxan CorporationInventors: Ichiro Hide, Junichi Umetsu

Patent number: 4732784Abstract: An aqueous coating solution is sprayed into the interior of the reactor. After the aqueous coating solution has been sprayed, steam is injected and condensed within the reactor. Upon polymerizing a vinyl chloride-base monomer composition in the reactor after having been treated, the formation of deposits of polymer on the internal surfaces of the reactor is substantially reduced and even suppressed.Type: GrantFiled: May 19, 1983Date of Patent: March 22, 1988Assignee: AtochemInventors: Paul Laroche, Jean-Bernard Pompon, deceased, by Marvonne Pompon, heir, by Laurence Pompon, heir, by Christophe Pompon, heir, by Lucie Pompon, heir

Patent number: 4724126Abstract: This invention relates to a polymerization reaction vessel having a coating on the inner surfaces thereof resulting from applying thereto an aqueous coating composition containing an unneutralized lightly crosslinked interpolymer of one or more carboxylic acid monomers with a polyunsaturated compound having a plurality of terminally unsaturated polymerizable groups whereby polymer buildup on said inner surfaces is substantially eliminated. Optionally, there is employed in the coating composition a water-soluble surfactant which contains polyether-type hydrophilic segments, such as, for example, polyoxyethylene (20) sorbitan monooleate. Multiple charges or batches of polymer can be made in said internally-coated reaction vessel without opening the same between charges, thus preventing the escape of unreacted monomer to the surrounding atmosphere.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1985Date of Patent: February 9, 1988Assignee: The B. F. Goodrich CompanyInventors: Kornelius Dinbergs, William S. Stebbins

Patent number: 4696983Abstract: Compositions of salts of water-soluble, carboxyl-containing polymers and surface active agents, deposited on polymerization reactor surfaces exposed to polymerization mixtures, substantially reduce or eliminate undesirable polymer build-up on reactor surfaces during aqueous polymerization of vinylidene monomers, even when the amount of carboxyl-containing polymers deposited on the reactor surfaces is very small.Type: GrantFiled: September 16, 1985Date of Patent: September 29, 1987Assignee: The B. F. Goodrich CompanyInventor: Louis Cohen
