    Abstract: This process for synthesizing thiopolymers involves feeding elemental sulfur or sulfides and unsaturated hydrocarbons into an extruder. The extruder is comprised of a screw and a barrel. The screw is rotated so as to pressurize, heat and mix the sulfur or sulfides and unsaturated hydrocarbon to induce inverse vulcanization thereby producing thiopolymers such as polymeric polysulfides. The invented process can be accomplished by using sulfur which becomes molten at the conditions in the extruder or is preheated and unsaturated hydrocarbons as the starting material. The materials are fed through one or more extruders so as to induce mixing and reaction of the materials forming polysulfides.

    Abstract: A method for the selective cleavage of a compound comprising an aromatic ring and a C—O—C linkage in the presence of a heterogeneous catalyst is provided. The heterogenous catalyst may be a supported noble metal catalyst doped with a halogen selected from the group consisting of chlorine and bromine. By using this method, it is possible to increase the selectivity and/or yield (preferably both) of aromatic compounds.

  • Publication number: 20240043627
    Abstract: The disclosed invention provides starting compositions for making lignin hybrid polymers, reactions of lignin and polymer precursors to manufacture lignin hybrid polymers, and final lignin hybrid polymers produced. The most important process requirement is the compatibility of lignin and polymer precursors. Lignin and the polymer precursors must be compatible to assure that the lignin and polymers precursors react and produce a lignin hybrid polymer with useful properties. The lignin hybrid polymers can be in the form of a polyol, a thermoplastic resin, or a thermoset resin. The lignin hybrid polyol, thermoplastic resin, or thermoset resin can be used in a wide range of products including, but not limited to, coatings, adhesives, sealants, elastomers, binders, thermoset resins, thermoplastic resins, and polyurethane systems.
