Patent number: 6589621Abstract: Compositions comprising a blend of an inorganic base, an organic base, a monofunctional organic nucleophile or a multifunctional organic nucleophile and a thermoplastic hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine can be formed into films and laminate structures by using conventional extrusion techniques. Containers and other molded parts can be fabricated from the films or laminate structures by using conventional fabricating techniques for thermoplastic polymers such as compression molding, injection molding, extrusion, thermoforming, blow molding and solvent casting.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1998Date of Patent: July 8, 2003Assignee: Dow Global Technologies Inc.Inventors: John M.

Patent number: 5962093Abstract: A laminate structure comprises one or more layers of an organic polymer and one or more layers of a hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine, wherein the hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine layer is adhered directly to a contiguous organic polymer layer without an adhesive layer therebetween. The hydroxy-functionalized polyetheramine is prepared by reacting (1) a difunctional amine with (2) a diglycidyl ether or a diepoxy-functionalized poly(alkylene oxide) under conditions sufficient to cause the amine moieties to react with the epoxy moieties to form a polymer backbone having amine linkages, ether linkages and pendant hydroxyl moieties and then treating the reaction product with a monofunctional nucleophile which is not a primary or secondary amine.Type: GrantFiled: October 22, 1997Date of Patent: October 5, 1999Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Jerry E. White, Joe T. Sanford, Terry W. Glass

Patent number: 5373087Abstract: A process for preparing a polyaminopolymer which contains functionality comprises the steps of (a) contacting a polyfunctional amine with an unsaturated alkylating agent under reaction conditions to form an amine/unsaturated alkylating agent adduct; (b) contacting the adduct with a polyfunctional compound such that a polyaminopolymer is formed: (e) contacting the polyaminopolymer with a halogen, hypohalous acid or precursor thereof such that a polyaminopolymer having halohydrin or dihalo functionality is formed, and (d) raising the pH of the polyaminopolymer having halohydrin or vicinal dihalo functionality sufficiently to cause an increase in molecular weight. Alternatively, the invention is a process having steps (a), (b), (c) and optionally (d), but with a step (h) between steps (b) and (c) of contacting the polyaminopolymer with a crosslinking agent therefor having at least two functional groups reactive with amine groups such that a crosslinked polyaminopolymer is formed.Type: GrantFiled: November 8, 1993Date of Patent: December 13, 1994Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventors: Otha G.
