The polyoxyethylene derivative is dissolved to form a solution using toluene, xylene, benzene, ethyl acetate, or butyl acetate in an amount 5 times by mass or more the amount of the polyoxyethylene derivative. A slurry is formed by adding to the solution an inorganic adsorbent containing at least one of an oxide and a hydroxide of one or more elements selected from the group consisting of magnesium, silicon, and aluminum in an amount 0.5 to 10 times by mass the amount of the polyoxyethylene derivative. The slurry is stirred at a temperature of 25° C. or higher. Toluene, xylene, benzene, ethyl acetate, or butyl acetate is added to a filtration cake obtained by filtration of the slurry, and further filtration is performed.

  • Patent number: 8124703
    Abstract: Disclosed are a maleimide-?-alkylstyrene-based, heat-resistant bulk tetrapolymer and a preparation process thereof. More specifically, disclosed are a bulk tetrapolymer, comprising 5-60 wt % of an N-substituted maleimide monomer, 10-70 wt % of an ?-alkylstyrene monomer, 5-50 wt % of an unsaturated nitrile monomer and 3-50 wt % of an aromatic vinyl monomer, as well as a continuous bulk polymerization process for preparing the same. The disclosed bulk tetrapolymer has a weight-average molecular weight (Mw) of 70,000-300,000 and a glass transition temperature of 150-200° C., shows excellent high-temperature thermal stability and heat resistance and a remarkably low melt viscosity, and thus is excellent not only in processability, but also in productivity, processability, moldability and blendability, when it is blended with other resins. Also, the continuous bulk polymerization process is equipped with a devolatilizer and enables the bulk tetrapolymer to be produced at low cost and high efficiency.

  • Patent number: 8101670
    Abstract: The present invention discloses polymers prepared through the Diels-Alder reaction with benzoxazine groups in their main chains. Moreover, polymers with high molecular weight could be successfully prepared via this method. Furthermore, the mentioned polymers are able to undergo crosslinking reaction by heat treatment. Heat energy causes the ring-opening reaction of benzoxazine in polymer main chains to undergo crosslinking reaction, and cross-linked polymers are thereby formed with great flexibility and high crosslinking degree.
