  • Patent number: 5641835
    Abstract: A process for producing siloxane modified polyolefin copolymers and products comprising the copolymer with the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein: x=1 to 1000; m=2 to 100; n=0 to 1000; y=1 to 3, z=0 to 2, wherein (y+z)=3; and p=1 to 200; wherein each R and R.sub.1 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbons, phenyl, benzyl and alkylphenyl having from 6 to 12 carbons; R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl, phenyl, benzyl and alkylphenyl having from 6 to 12 carbons; R.sub.3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, methyl, ethyl and propyl; and Z is selected from the group consisting of O, S, NH and NR' wherein R' is selected from the group consisting of phenyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl and C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkylphenyl.

  • Patent number: 5476901
    Abstract: A siloxane modified copolymer with the following general formula: ##STR1## wherein: x=1 to 1000; m=2 to 100; n=0 to 1000; z=0 to 2; y=1 to 3; (z+y)=3; and p=1 to 200; wherein R and R.sub.1 are independently selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl groups having 1 to 6 carbons, phenyl, benzyl or alkylphenyl having from 6 to 12 carbons; R.sub.2 is selected from the group consisting of C.sub.1 to C.sub.6 alkyl, phenyl, benzyl or alkylphenyl having from 6 to 12 carbons; R.sub.3 is methyl, ethyl or propyl; and Z is O, S, NH or NR' wherein R' is phenyl, C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl or C.sub.1 to C.sub.3 alkylphenyl. A process for obtaining siloxane modified copolymer comprising:reactively extruding organosiloxanes having reactive terminal groups with polyolefins having reactive groups, the molar ratio of the functional groups being from about 1:1 to about 1:100,000 in a substantially solvent-free environment at a temperature from about 150.degree. C. to about 350.degree. C.
