Abstract: Ester age resisters such as 4-anilinophenyl acrylate and 4-anilinophenyl methacrylate, age resistant polymers having ester age resisters physically combined therewith and age resistant polymeric compositions prepared by free radical polymerization techniques involving the use of said esters as monomers.
Abstract: Antioxidants such as 3,5-di tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl acrylate and 3,5-di tert.butyl-4-hydroxyphenyl methacrylate, age resistant polymers having age resistors physically combined therewith and age resistant polymeric compositions prepared by emulsion free radical polymerization techniques involving the use of said age resistors as monomers.
Abstract: Antioxidants such as 3,5-di tert.butyl-4-hydroxy-cinnamonitrile and ethyl 3,5-di tert.hexyl-4-hydroxycinnamate, age resistant polymers having monomeric age resistors physically combined therewith and age resistant polymeric compositions prepared by free radical polymerization techniques involving the use of said antioxidants as monomers.
Abstract: An improved process for the preparation of methacrylamides from primary amines, methacrylic esters, and base catalysts such as alkoxides and amides. Some products are obtained in the form useful as comonomers in the preparation of elastomers.
Abstract: Imides such as N-(morpholinothio)phthalimide are used to affect the vulcanization characteristics of sulfur vulcanizable polymers by increasing the state of vulcanization and/or improving scorch resistance and/or increasing the rate of vulcanization.
Abstract: Phenolic antioxidants useful in the stabilization of oxidizable polymers such as polybutadiene, butadiene/styrene copolymers and polypropylene are prepared by reacting simple phenolic compounds with a pentacyclo-tetradeca-5,11-diene.
Abstract: Dialkylaminomethylphenols such as 2,4,6-tris (dimethylaminomethyl) phenol are added, preferably along with another phenolic antioxidant prior to exposure to oxidative conditions, to a stereoregular polymer, a major portion of said polymer consisting of segmeric units derived from conjugated diolefin monomers, said polymer containing transition metal catalysts, to help prevent oxidative degradation of the polymer.This application is a continuation-in-part of U.S. application Ser.
