Imide Patents (Class 525/282)
  • Patent number: 4206240
    Abstract: Polymeric orange colors are disclosed having a noncrosslinked organic polymer backbone to which is covalently bonded a plurality of chromophores having a particular anthrapyridine structure. The colors are represented structurally as ##STR1## wherein R.sub.1 and R.sub.2 are independently selected from among hydrogen, halos, lower alkyls, lower alkoxies, nitros, and sulfonates; R.sub.3 is selected from hydrogen, alkyls and alkylsulfonates; R.sub.5 is a lower alkyl or lower alkyl sulfonate and R.sub.4 is a noncrosslinked organic polymer linking a plurality (k) of said anthrapyridines into a polymeric colorant. The polymeric colorants are especially useful as nonabsorbable orange colorants for edibles.

  • Patent number: 4205020
    Abstract: A graft copolymer comprises a substrate of a diene rubber, and a homogeneous superstrate containing units of acrylonitrile and at least one aromatic olefin having a molar ratio of acrylonitrile to olefin between 2 and 9. The superstrate may also contain a minor amount (preferably less than 10 mole %) of at least one other comonomer selected from acenaphthylene, vinyl carbazole and its derivatives, maleimide and its N-substituted derivatives and norbornene and its derivatives.

  • Patent number: 4187202
    Abstract: A process for preparing polymer resins of high impact resistance which comprises coagulating a latex of a rubbery polymer grafted or not with at least one ethylenic monomer in the presence of a suspension stabilizer and a coagulating agent to make a stable aqueous suspension of coagulated particles of said rubbery polymer, adding at least one ethylenic monomer to the aqueous suspension and subjecting the resultant mixture to suspension polymerization.

  • Patent number: 4163097
    Abstract: The invention relates to organic polymers which can be crosslinked under the action of light and which are suitable for carrying out photomechanical processes. These polymers are photochemically considerably more sensitive than known comparable polymers and their sensitivity can additionally also be further increased by means of a combination with sensitizers. The molecular weight is at least 1,000. The polymers contain, as light-sensitive groups, groups of the formula I ##STR1## wherein R and R.sub.1 independently of one another denote alkyl groups with at most 4 C atoms, or R and R.sub.1 conjointly denote the remaining part of a 5-membered to 6-membered carbocyclic ring.
