Patent number: 5677399Abstract: The invention is a practical process for anionically synthesizing commercially significant quantities of macrocyclic polymers from polar and/or non-polar monomers by using Group IIA and IIB metal cyclic organometallic initiators. Activation of the ring metal atom results in anionic polymerization of the monomers by addition into the initiator ring at the bonds between the atom and its two adjacent carbon atoms, the metal atom acting as a bridge between the two living ends of the propagating chain. Coupling of the cyclic polymer living ends by coupling agents produces macrocyclic polymers that are stable in air and moisture and that exhibit desirable properties, such as low viscosities at high molecular weights. Such macrocyclic polymers provide enhanced polymer processability during molding, extruding and the forming of films.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 1996Date of Patent: October 14, 1997Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: James E.

Patent number: 5447993Abstract: Nitrile containing perfluoroelastomers are cured by a combination of a peroxide, a coagent, and a catalyst which causes crosslinks to form using the nitrile groups. The method is relatively fast and economical, and gives vulcanizates which have excellent high temperature properties. Triphenyltin hydroxide is an exceptionally good catalyst for the formation of crosslinks from nitrile groups in perfluoroelastomers.Type: GrantFiled: April 19, 1994Date of Patent: September 5, 1995Assignee: E. I. Du Pont de Nemours and CompanyInventor: Anestis L. Logothetis

Patent number: 5412022Abstract: A lyo gel is provided in which the gelling agent is an organic, fully synthetic polymer, which is crosslinked via its carboxylic acid groups and via metal compounds, and the swelling agent is a low-volatility, inert organic liquid having a volatility, as defined by its evaporation loss, of less than 0.5% by weight after 2 hours at 105.degree. C. in accordance with ASTM D 972. The lyo gel is useful for sealing devices involving the use of electrical current because the initially two-component reaction solution is sufficiently liquid at room temperature to fill even small spaces, such as gaps and joints between bodies.Type: GrantFiled: June 14, 1993Date of Patent: May 2, 1995Assignee: Henkel Kommanditgesellschaft auf AktienInventors: Johannes Andres, Juergen Wichelhaus, Reimar Heucher

Patent number: 5399633Abstract: The emission of the highly toxic volatile products, such as methyl bromides or iodides, or ethyl bromides or iodides, during the cure with peroxides of fluoroelastomers containing bromine or iodine atoms is substantially reduced by adding to the cure mix small amounts of substances capable of combining with the radicals which give rise to the aforesaid toxic products, thereby preventing them from forming. This procedure does not sensibly affect the cure trend and results.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1994Date of Patent: March 21, 1995Assignee: Ausimont S.r.l.Inventors: Graziella Chiodini, Anna Minutillo
