Patent number: 4268433Abstract: Flame retardation of 1,2-polybutadiene based upon the use of halogenated bisphenol bisacrylate reactive flame retardants, for example, 2,2-bis(4-methacryloyl-3,5-dibromophenyl)-propane. Flame retardancy performance of UL 94 V-0 or V-1 has been achieved without impairing desirable dielectric properties and heat resistance inherently possessed by 1,2-polybutadiene. If an aromatic bismaleimide modifier, for example, N,N'-4,4'-diphenylmethane bismaleimide, is jointly used, a thermal expansion coefficient less than a half of the thermal expansion coefficient of cured 1,2-polybutadiene can be achieved.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1979Date of Patent: May 19, 1981Assignee: Fujitsu LimitedInventors: Norio Sawatari, Isao Watanabe, Kazumasa Saito, Katsura Adachi

Patent number: 4251597Abstract: Addition polymers containing a plurality of terminal and/or pendant amine groups in which the nitrogen atom of at least some of such groups is of primary or secondary character, or aldimine or ketimine groups form the main film-forming component in compositions for coating and the like purposes, which also contain a polyfunctional acrylic monomer, such as ethylene glycol diacrylate, with or without monoethylenically unsaturated acrylic ester. Such compositions provide durable films having excellent mechanical and resistance properties even on ambient curing though baking may be used to accelerate the cure. A method of use is also claimed in which the components are mixed in suitable vehicles, e.g.Type: GrantFiled: December 1, 1978Date of Patent: February 17, 1981Assignee: Rohm and Haas CompanyInventors: William D.

Patent number: 4230832Abstract: Impact modified polyvinyl chloride is prepared by suspension polymerizing vinyl chloride in the presence of a dual catalyst system of a monomer soluble catalyst and a water soluble catalyst to form suspension polymer particles having irregular and porous surfaces, and then polymerizing, in the presence of the porous particles, monomers for forming gelled rubber-containing interpolymer particles having a Tg of less than 25.degree. C. No emulsification system is required for the rubber interpolymerization. Rubber-containing interpolymer particles in the order of 1 micron or less are formed on the surface of the suspension polyvinyl chloride particle. The process can be conducted in one reaction vessel and product contamination is reduced. The product can be used alone or blended with other thermoplastic polymers, such as polyvinyl chloride, to increase the impact strength thereof.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 1975Date of Patent: October 28, 1980Assignee: Stauffer Chemical CompanyInventor: Chung H.
