Polymers With High Vinyl End Segments

View page
US Patent:
6362282, Mar 26, 2002
Filed:
Sep 29, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/675595
Inventors:
Mark N. DeDecker - North Canton OH
Assignee:
Firestone Polymers, LLC - Akron OH
International Classification:
C08F25508
US Classification:
525271, 525250, 525319, 526 87, 526136
Abstract:
A polymer composition comprising at least two end segments that make up less than 15% of the total polymer composition. Each end segment has a vinyl content greater than about 45%. However, the vinyl content is less than about 35% throughout the remainder of the polymer composition.

Method Of Preparation Of Coupled Branched And Linear Polymer Compositions

View page
US Patent:
6525140, Feb 25, 2003
Filed:
Mar 23, 2000
Appl. No.:
09/533746
Inventors:
Mark N. Dedecker - North Canton OH
Assignee:
Firestone Polymers, LLC - Akron OH
International Classification:
C08L 900
US Classification:
525236, 5253323, 525342, 525370, 525371, 526 78, 526173, 526335
Abstract:
A continuous process for manufacture of a polymer including branched and linear components comprising first polymerizing conjugated diene(s) in the presence of an organometallic initiator to a conversion that is at least 90% complete. A coupling agent is added to obtain a polymer including branched and linear components. The coupling agent is added at a ratio of about 0. 3 to about 0. 6 coupling equivalents to initiator equivalents.

Termination And Reduced Gel In High Cis Polybutadiene

View page
US Patent:
6727330, Apr 27, 2004
Filed:
Feb 7, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/360285
Inventors:
Mark N. DeDecker - North Canton OH
Harry L. Wright - Lake Charles LA
Jason M. Pyle - Smackover AR
Assignee:
Firestone Polymers, LLC - Akron OH
International Classification:
C08F 460
US Classification:
526133, 5261691, 5263404
Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for forming a high-cis polydiene. The process includes catalyzing a diene polymerization, and terminating the polymerization with a termination mixture comprising an inorganic base and at least one of an amine and a carboxylic acid. The catalyst system is a mixture of (a) organoaluminum compounds; (b) organonickel compounds; and (c) fluorine-containing compounds. The use of an inorganic base reduces the amount of more expensive amine necessary to effectively terminate the polymerization as well as reducing the corrosion in the reaction container. The use of an inorganic base with a carboxylic acid results in a very low gel content as well as reducing the corrosion in the process systems.

US Patent:
6872783, Mar 29, 2005
Filed:
Nov 26, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/305542
Inventors:
Mark N. Dedecker - North Canton OH, US
Assignee:
Firestone Polymers, LLC - Akron OH
International Classification:
C08L009/00
C08L047/00
C08F008/42
US Classification:
525236, 5253323, 525342, 525370, 525371, 526173, 526335
Abstract:

Stable Free Radical Polymers

View page
US Patent:
6967228, Nov 22, 2005
Filed:
May 1, 2003
Appl. No.:
10/427115
Inventors:
Mark N. DeDecker - North Canton OH, US
Daniel F. Graves - Canal Fulton OH, US
Assignee:
Firestone Polymers, LLC - Akron OH
International Classification:
C08F293/00
C08F002/38
US Classification:
525 98, 5253327, 5253329, 526220, 526204, 5263291, 5263292
Abstract:
A functional polymer having at least one substituent capable of forming a stable free radical is formed by polymerizing a diene monomer, such as butadiene, to form a first polymer block of the functional polymer. The first polymer block has a weight average molecular weight of less than 150,000. A vinyl aromatic monomer, such as styrene, is polymerized to form at least a second polymer block of the functional polymer. The copolymer is contacted with a stable free radical providing compound to form the functional polymer. By adding sufficient vinyl aromatic monomer, a low molecular weight functional rubber polymer can be rendered processable at ambient temperatures, while maintaining a solution viscosity which is suited to subsequent free radical catalyzation of vinyl aromatic monomers.
