Patent number: 4417043Abstract: A polymer capable of forming an anisotropic melt characterized in that the polymer chain includes residues of cross-linking reactants at a concentration sufficient to give a polymer with a melt viscosity of not greater than 10.sup.7 Nsec/m.sup.2 measured by capillary rheometry at a shear rate of 10.sup.4 N/m.sup.2. The polymers exhibit favorable shear dependent viscosity characteristics in that the viscosity is high under low shear conditions and is low under high shear conditions, as judged by the viscosity characteristics of polymers of the same composition but not containing the residues of cross-linking reactants.Type: GrantFiled: January 5, 1981Date of Patent: November 22, 1983Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries PLCInventors: Frederic N. Cogswell, Brian P. Griffin, Clive P. Smith

Patent number: 4400531Abstract: 4-Vinyl-2-methylenebutanedioic acid and its esters, as well as amide and nitrile analogs of these compounds, are disclosed. These compounds are capable of undergoing a rapid free radical cyclopolymerization reaction. The compounds, themselves, may be used as film-formers (for example, in paints or plastics) or may be used as groups pendant from a backbone, especially a low molecular weight backbone, to form other, more complex film-forming polymer precursor materials.Type: GrantFiled: August 7, 1981Date of Patent: August 23, 1983Assignee: The Procter & Gamble CompanyInventor: Rodney D. Bush

Patent number: 4337189Abstract: A process is described for making sterically stabilized non-aqueous dispersions of polymer microparticles, in which (1) monomers including at least one crosslinking monomer are polymerized in an aqueous medium at a temperature at least 10.degree. higher than the glass transition temperature of the polymer to be formed, in the presence of a block or graft copolymer stabilizing agent containing in the molecule, as the component solvated by the aqueous medium, a polymer chain derived from a polyethylene glycol of molecular weight at least 1000, under conditions such that there is at no time present a separate monomer phase and (2) the microparticles thus obtained are transferred into a non-aqueous medium which is capable of dissolving the polyethylene glycol in question, when the latter is in the non-hydrated state, to the extent of at least 10% by weight at room temperature.Type: GrantFiled: December 8, 1980Date of Patent: June 29, 1982Assignee: Imperial Chemical Industries LimitedInventors: Charles Bromley, Morice W.
