Patent number: 6800717Abstract: Non-gelled polymeric polyols are prepared by the acid catalyzed copolymerization of epoxy resins and water. When the starting resin is an epoxy resin derived from bisphenol-A, the resulting product has much lower levels of bisphenol-A and diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA) compared to traditional epoxy resins of comparable molecular weight prepared by the advancement process. The product can be cured with OH reactive crosslinkers such as amino resins and polyisocyanates to yield thermosetting coatings with useful properties.Type: GrantFiled: January 31, 2002Date of Patent: October 5, 2004Assignee: Air Products and Chemicals, Inc.Inventors: Frederick Herbert Walker, John Bartram Dickenson

Publication number: 20040077820Abstract: A new method of converting oligomeric chloroformates to high molecular weight polycarbonate is presented. By carefully controlling the relative concentrations and amounts of hydroxyl and chloroformate groups present in the oligomeric polycarbonate, the method of the invention provides for the efficient preparation of polycarbonate while minimizing phosgene usage. The product polycarbonates prepared by the method of the invention are fully capped with no additional phosgene required beyond that needed to prepare the oligomeric chloroformate starting material. The method of the present invention provides polycarbonates having non-detectable levels (<5 ppm) of aromatic hydroxyl endgroups, low polydispersity, and low levels of residual monomer and endcap, thereby obviating the need for monomer and endcap recycle.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 16, 2002Publication date: April 22, 2004Applicant: General Electric CompanyInventors: James Manio Silva, Pierre-Andre Bui, Thomas Joseph Fyvie, David Michel Dardaris
