Patent number: 4647413Abstract: Perfluoropolyether oligomers or block polymers, having a backbone with one or a plurality of perfluoropolyether segments each consisting essentially of (1) at least one perfluoroisopropyleneoxy unit, (2) a bis(perfluoromethyleneoxy-terminated) unit, and (3) a perfluoroethylidene unit terminating each segment, the backbone of the perfluoropolyether being terminated with COF and/or a functional or nonfunctional derivative thereof, said perfluoropolyethers being made by reacting a perfluoroaliphatic diacid fluoride with hexafluoropropylene epoxide to produce an acid fluoride-terminated perfluoropolyether adduct or oligomer which then can be photopolymerized to yield an acid fluoride-terminated perfluoropolyether block polymer. These oligomers and block polymers are useful as high temperature lubricants, hydraulic fluids, gaskets, adhesives and coatings as well as co-reactants wtih urethane in forming propellant binders.Type: GrantFiled: January 20, 1984Date of Patent: March 3, 1987Assignee: Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing CompanyInventor: Patricia M.

Patent number: 4465853Abstract: 3,4-Diacetoxybutene-1 can be easily isomerized into 1,4-diacetoxybutene-2 by contacting it with a cation exchange resin. This method is capable of providing an excellent reaction result and is free of the problem of corrosion of apparatus as well as the problem of formation of by-products. When acetic acid is present in said isomerization operation, the reaction rate is increased. Further, combination of this isomerization method with separation of 1,4-diacetoxybutene-2 from 3,4-diacetoxybutene-1 by distillation enables production of high-purity 1,4-diacetoxybutene-2 at a high efficiency.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 1982Date of Patent: August 14, 1984Assignee: Japan Synthetic Rubber Co., Ltd.Inventors: Yoshinori Yoshida, Hironobu Shinohara
