Abstract: A sulfur modified polychloroprene is produced in a process which comprises polymerizing chloroprene or a mixture of chloroprene and a comonomer in a neutral or acidic aqueous emulsion by using a cationic emulsifier in the presence of sulfur and a peroxide initiator, and then performing a peptization of the resulting sulfur modified polychloroprene latex by addition thereto of an alkaline aqueous solution in amounts sufficient to reduce the pH of the latex to alkaline conditions.

Abstract: A polyion complex is produced by reacting a weak acid type or a strong acid type polyanion polymer with a nucleic acid base-containing polycation polymer.

Abstract: A crosslinkable polyion complex is prepared by reacting a polycation polymer having an ethylenic double bond at a terminal position in the repeating unit of the polymer with a polyanion polymer. A polyion complex film is prepared by dissolving the crosslinkable polyion complex in a solvent mixture of water-organic solvent-acid, base or salt and then forming a film by casting or coating the solution on a substrate.

Abstract: A latex of chloroprene polymer is produced without using an emulsifier, which comprises polymerizing chloroprene by free radical polymerization, in an aqueous medium in the presence of 0.2 - 10 wt.% of styrene sulfonic acid or a derivative thereof, based on the total monomers added to the system. In a preferred embodiment the quantity of chloroprene added is 0.5 to 50% wt.

Abstract: An organic-inorganic polyion complex is prepared by reacting a polycation polymer with an alkali silicate in the presence of a solvent.

Abstract: Granular rubber is prepared by allowing a latex mixture of a rubber latex and an aqueous solution of a high molecular weight polyanion containing carboxylate groups and/or hydroxyl groups to fall freely into an aqueous solution of an alkaline earth metal salt and separating the granular rubber which forms.

Abstract: Polymerization of 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene is inhibited by adding an aniline compound having an N-nitroso group which can be easily removed with an alkaline aqueous solution to the 2,3-dichloro-1,3-butadiene.

Abstract: This invention relates to a novel process of preparing chloroprene polymer rubber granules. The process comprises adding 4 to 10 wt. parts of sodium silicate to 100 wt. parts of a cationic latex of chloroprene polymer and then adding an alkaline earth metal salt or an acid to precipitate granules of the chloroprene polymer rubber.

Abstract: A system for formation treatment of sludge in which an endless belt screen forms an electrode which extends over a portion of its path into the fluid sludge and is juxtaposed with another electrode therein so that the applicaton of an electrical potential across the electrodes results in the formaton of a consolidated and partly dewatered sludge deposit upon the screen electrode. The latter then carries the deposit to a drying chamber and preferably thereafter to an incinerator chamber in which the sludge deposit is incinerated alternatively, the dry sludge layer can be removed.
