  • Patent number: 4219639
    Abstract: A method for altering the transparency of a stable hexagonal polymorphic poly(butene-1) obtained from unstable tetragonal crystalline poly(butene-1) comprising contacting the tetragonal crystalline poly(butene-1) with a volatile solvent for a short time, then removing from the solvent, and allowing solvent adhereing to the poly(butene-1) to evaporate. The finished polymer can be opaque, transparent, or translucent depending upon the solvent and temperature used.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: August 16, 1978
    Date of Patent: August 26, 1980
    Assignee: Conoco, Inc.
    Inventors: Mark P. Mack, William J. Libbey
  • Patent number: 4100209
    Abstract: Alkyl alcohols are separated from alkyldimethylamines using an immiscible solvent mixture comprising a polar solvent (e.g. dimethylformamide) and a nonpolar solvent (e.g. hexane). The process is particularly useful for C.sub.12-14 alcohols and C.sub.12-14 alkyldimethylamines.
