Patent number: 5518652Abstract: The invention relates to copolymers made from mono-reactive liquid and/or di-reactive liquid crystals which can be photopolymerized to form copolymers and to novel reactive liquid crystal compound having a nematic phase. Preferentially the reactive liquid crystal is polymerized while in the liquid crystal phase to produce an oriented birefringent polymer film. To do this, the reactive liquid crystal, in its nematic or smectic phase is aligned (by well known techniques such as rubbed polyimide, etc.) and the thin film containing a small amount of photoinitiator, is subjected to ultraviolet light whereupon it polymerizes into a thin, aligned polymer film.Type: GrantFiled: July 1, 1994Date of Patent: May 21, 1996Assignee: Merck Patent Gesellschaft Mit Beschrankter HaftungInventors: Owain L. Parri, Ian Bonny, Ian V. E. Hassall, Mark J. Goulding, Simon Greenfield, Emma J. Brown, David Coates

Patent number: 5463147Abstract: Mixtures of isomeric decyl alcohols prepared by hydroformylation of mixtures of butene-1 and butene-2 in two stages to give aldehyde mixtures, and condensation of the aldehyde mixtures to form an aldol mixture, followed by separation and hydrogenation. The first stage of the hydroformylation proceeds in the presence of rhodium catalysts dissolved in water, the second stage in the presence of cobalt catalysts homogeneously dissolved in the reaction medium. The mixture of isomeric decyl alcohols, when esterified with phthalic acid, yields a mixture of isomeric decyl phthalates which are useful as plasticizers.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 1994Date of Patent: October 31, 1995Assignee: Hoechst AktiengesellschaftInventors: Helmut Bahrmann, Wolfgang Greb, Peter Heymanns, Peter Lappe, Thomas Muller, Jurgen Szameitat, Ernst Wiebus
