Richard A. Markle |
Polyarylimidazolidines with a degree of polymerization of about one to twenty and having phenolic hydroxyl end groups and a novel three-step process for their preparation are described. In the first step of the process, an excess of hydrogen cyanide is reactive with an aryl diisocyanate. The excess hydrogen cyanide promotes polymerization and avoids the reaction of the imino hydrogen on the heterocyclic range with the diisocyanate to form cross linkage and associated gel formation. In the second step, a stoichiometric amount of diisocyanate is added to react with the excess hydrogen cyanide and one hydroxyl of a phenolic dihydroxyl end capping group. In the final third step, the dihydroxyl end capping group is added and the remaining diisocyanate reacts with one of the two phenolic hydroxyls on the end capping group. |

Thermally-reversible polymer compositions are obtained by reacting compounds with isocyanate and labile-hydrogen functionality. High-performance characteristics are incorporated into the polymer by using polyimide, aromatic polycarbonate, aromatic polyester, polyphenylene sulfide, and poly(parabanic acid) oligomers. Low-temperature flexibility and toughness are imparted to the polymers by using prepolymers such as polycaprolactone diols, polytetramethylene ether glycols and polyaliphatic carbon diols. Ionic bonding and liquid-crystal functionality may also be incorporated into the compositions. The compositions are useful as hot-melt adhesives, coatings, and moldings and in injection reaction molding applications and composite and laminate fabrication. |

This invention relates to compositions and methods for increasing the crystallization rate and/or processing speed of polyhydroxyalkanoate (PHA) polymers. PHA polymers are notorious for slow crystallization rates, reducing the practicality for using PHA for consumer products. Compounds that have similar crystal structures to PHA and have a melting point higher than that of the PHA, such as pentaerythritol, as well as compounds that undergo a crystal structure change at or below the melting point of the polymer, such as sulfur or selenium, act as good crystal nucleators for PHA. |
