Patent number: 4465801Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the viscosification of an aqueous liquid which includes the steps of forming a solvent system of an organic liquid or oil and a polar cosolvent, the polar cosolvent being less than about 15 weight percent of the solvent system, a viscosity of the solvent system being less than about 100 cps; dissolving a neutralized sulfonated polymer in the solvent system to form a solution, a concentration of the neutralized sulfonated polymer in the solution being about 0.01 to about 0.5 weight percent, a viscosity of the solution being less than about 200 cps; and admixing or contacting said solution with about 5 to about 500 volume percent water, the water being immiscible with the organic liquid and the polar cosolvent and neutralized sulfonated polymer transferring from the organic liquid to the water phase, thereby causing the water phase to thicken.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1982Date of Patent: August 14, 1984Assignee: Exxon Research & Engineering Co.Inventors: Dennis G. Peiffer, Robert D. Lundberg, Thad O. Walker

Patent number: 4431754Abstract: A low viscosity copolymer polyahl dispersion is prepared by polymerizing polymer particles in a polyahl medium, to a first solids concentration and thereafter diluting the dispersion to a second lower solids concentration. The resulting diluted dispersion has a lower viscosity than if the dispersion were prepared directly at the lower solids level. The invention has particular advantage when used with "all acrylonitrile" dispersions. The copolymer polyahl dispersions are useful in the manufacture of urethane and isocyanurate foams.Type: GrantFiled: March 1, 1982Date of Patent: February 14, 1984Assignee: The Dow Chemical CompanyInventor: Dwight K. Hoffman

Patent number: 4427812Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the gelation (i.e. thickening) of salt water which includes the steps of forming a solvent system of an organic liquid or oil and a polar cosolvent, the polar cosolvent being less than about 15 weight percent of the solvent system, a viscosity of the solvent system being less than about 100 cps; dissolving a nonionic surfactant and water insoluble, neutralized or unneutralized sulfonated polymer in the solvent system to form a solution, a concentration of the neutralized, or unneutralized sulfonated polymer in the solution being about 0.01 to about 0.5 weight percent, the concentration of the nonionic surfactant in the solvent system being about 0.0001 to about 1.Type: GrantFiled: May 3, 1982Date of Patent: January 24, 1984Assignee: Exxon Research and Engineering Co.Inventors: Dennis G. Peiffer, Robert D. Lundberg, Thad O. Walker

Patent number: 4419482Abstract: The invention relates to a process for preparing products containing polymer chains in which a linear prepolymer or polymer contains at least one free acid group at each chain and is reacted with an alkoxide of a metal having a valence of more than 2, such as zirconium, titanium or cerium, possibly in the presence of a non polar solvent, the alkoxide of the metal having a valence of more than 2 being used in such a quantity that the alkoxide functions are in excess with respect to the stoichiometric amount of the acid functions carried by said linear prepolymer or polymer, the reaction mixture being stirred in the presence of humidity until a product is obtained wherein the hydrogen atoms of the free acid end groups of the prepolymer or polymer are substituted by an atom of the metal (M) which is itself linked to another atom of said metal by M-O-M linkages. The invention relates also to the products containing a prepolymer or polymer .alpha.,.omega.Type: GrantFiled: February 2, 1982Date of Patent: December 6, 1983Assignee: Unibra Societe AnonymeInventors: Philippe J.
