Patent number: 7396887Abstract: A process for producing polymers having at least one high vinyl end segment is provided. The process comprises: (a) forming a living prepolymer high vinyl initiator with a vinyl content greater than about 45% using a vinyl modifier, (b) adding a R1R2R3aluminum or R1R2R3boron compound to nullify the effect of the vinyl modifier, and (c) initiating polymerization of diene monomers using said living prepolymer high vinyl initiator so as to form a polymer product with at least one high vinyl end segment, where R1, R2, and R3 are selected from the group consisting of C1-C12 alkyl, C2-C12 alkene, C2-C12 alkyne, phenyl, and alkyl-substituted phenyl, and may all be identical or may all be separately selected but cannot be H. The polymers having at least one high vinyl end segment may be coupled to produce a polymer having a high vinyl end segment on all ends.Type: GrantFiled: December 29, 2006Date of Patent: July 8, 2008Assignee: Bridgestone CorporationInventor: James E.

Patent number: 7332559Abstract: A method of preparing a high molecular weight polycarbonate resin is provided. In the method, a condensation polymerization process is used so that a mole fraction of arylcarbonate existing in a terminated group of a reaction side product having a degree of polymerization of less than 3 obtained as a result of transesterification and in a non-reacted diarylcarbonate is reduced. As a result, a high molecular weight polycarbonate can be obtained by solid state polymerization. A polycarbonate with an identical molecular weight can be produced in a substantially short time, compared with a polycarbonate produced through solid state polymerization without condensation polymerization. In addition, the non-use of a poisonous phosgene contributes to stability. Furthermore, quality polycarbonate may be guaranteed.Type: GrantFiled: October 21, 2005Date of Patent: February 19, 2008Assignee: LG Chem, Ltd.Inventors: Mijeung Hong, Jong Hun Kim, Sung Kyou Park, Boo Gon Woo
