Patent number: 6391992Abstract: Oligomers of vinyl esters, preferably of vinyl acetate, are provided in which the molecules contain a single terminal sulfonate group, thereby making these products useful as surface-active agents. These oligomers can be converted by hydrolysis to sulfonate-terminated vinyl alcohol oligomer which is also a surface-active agent. The number average molecular weight of the vinyl ester oligomer is not over 17,000 and not over 7,500 for the vinyl alcohol oligomer. These products are made by polymerizing the vinyl ester in the presence of a bisulfite chain transfer agent in water, preferably with a cosolvent such as methanol. The vinyl ester is delay fed to the polymerization, molecular weight is controlled with the bisulfite, and the system is maintained in a virtual single phase with any organic phase present swollen with water or water and cosolvent.Type: GrantFiled: September 18, 1998Date of Patent: May 21, 2002Assignee: Celanese International CorporationInventors: Robert Krantz Pinschmidt, Jr., Khalil Yacoub

Patent number: 6096826Abstract: A family of piperidone functionalized polymers based on polymers containing a plurality of hydroxyl groups. Piperidone or piperidone derivatives form a cyclic ketal linkage with hydroxyl groups contained on adjacent or alternating carbon atoms of the base polymer. Preferred compositions are piperidone functionalized poly(vinyl alcohol) having the following general formulae: ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 through R.sub.6 are each independently hydrogen, methyl, or a C.sub.2 to C.sub.4 saturated or unsaturated alkyl groups, R.sub.7 is O.cndot. or OR.sub.8, wherein R.sub.8 is hydrogen or a C.sub.1 to C.sub.4 alkyl or C(.dbd.O)alkyl group; X.sup.- is a salt; x ranges from 50 to 99 mol %; y ranges from 0 to 30 mol %; and z ranges from 1 to 20 mol %. The compounds are useful in ink jet paper coating applications.Type: GrantFiled: July 21, 1998Date of Patent: August 1, 2000Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: John Joseph Rabasco, Eric Howard Klingenberg, Gregory Paul Dado, Robert Krantz Pinschmidt, Jr., John Richard Boylan

Patent number: 5840978Abstract: This invention describes an integrated process for making ethylidene bisformamide in high yield wherein water, which is formed as a reaction by-product, is readily removed from the reaction product mixture without adversely affecting the efficiency of the overall process. The process contemplates isolating the reaction zone from the separation zone and comprises circulating a stream of formamide through a reaction zone containing a solid acidic catalyst and a separation zone; introducing acetaldehyde into the circulating stream of formamide to form a reaction mixture and contacting the reaction mixture with the solid acidic catalyst under reaction conditions sufficient to form a product mixture comprising ethylidene bisformamide and water; and separating water from the product mixture in the separation zone to form a water-depleted product mixture containing ethylidene bisformamide.Type: GrantFiled: March 5, 1993Date of Patent: November 24, 1998Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Andrew Francis Nordquist, Francis Peter Petrocelli, Robert Krantz Pinschmidt, Jr., Yin Pang Tsui

Patent number: 5728878Abstract: N-vinyl compositions comprising 3-(N-vinylformamido)propionamides and 2-methyl-3-(N-vinylformamido)propionamides containing terminal amino, hydroxyl or a second N-vinyl group are obtained by amidation of the corresponding propionate ester with appropriate alkylamines. The invention also describes a process for preparing these compounds. The subject materials are useful as monomers in free radical polymerization as well as precursors in the preparation of unsaturated resins.Type: GrantFiled: July 2, 1996Date of Patent: March 17, 1998Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Ning Chen, Walter Louis Renz, Robert Krantz Pinschmidt, Jr., William Eamon Carroll
