  • Patent number: 7989551
    Abstract: A process for the polymerization of one or more addition polymerizable monomers to form a copolymer comprising multiple regions or segments of differentiated polymer composition or properties comprising contacting an addition polymerizable monomer or mixture of monomers under addition polymerization conditions with a composition comprising at least one olefin polymerization catalyst, a cocatalyst and a chain shuttling agent, said process being characterized by formation of at least some of the growing polymer chains under differentiated process conditions such that two or more blocks or segments formed within at least some of the resulting polymer are chemically or physically distinguishable.

  • Publication number: 20090215190
    Abstract: The present invention generally relates to an apparatus and method for running a plurality of essentially simultaneous exothermic reactions, endothermic reactions, or a combination thereof in sealed reactors and obtaining physico-chemical data, preferably temperature data, and, optionally, time data, for the reactions, wherein reaction mixtures in the sealed reactors are adiabatically thermally insulated from one another so that temperature in one sealed reactor does not materially affect temperature in any other, including an adjacent, sealed reactor.

  • Publication number: 20090031826
    Abstract: A high throughput workstation includes: a sample deposition and annealing robot, a pan/sample weighing robot, and a thermal analyzer equipped with autosampler and data analysis system. After deposition, the solvent can be removed and multiple samples annealed simultaneously in a controlled manner. The sample pans are weighed before and after the samples are prepared using a robotic weigher. The high throughput workstation facilitates analysis of thermal properties of samples obtained via parallel plate reaction (PPR) in substantially less time than corresponding manual techniques.
