Abstract

Abstract An improved process for the production of powders of maleic acid anhydride/1-olefin copolymers by suspension polymerization in the presence of special dispersion agents which are obtained by the reaction of a copolymer of maleic acid anhydride and a 1-olefin with an aliphatic monohydric alcohol or an aliphatic monoamine or a mixture thereof, at least 30 mol % of the anhydride groups being esterified to semi-esters or amidated to semi-amides. The copolymer powders obtained have a surprisingly narrowparticle size distribution and can be used without grinding or sifting as reactive fillers for natural and synthetic rubbers. They also can be used for the production of paper coating agents as they dissolve easily and without residue in alkalis, ammonia or amines.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim 218 words
A process for the production of a copolymer which comprises reacting maleic acid anhydride and an excess of at least one 1-olefin having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms at a temperature of from 30° C to 200° C and a pressure of from 1 to 200 atm in an organic dispersion medium comprising said 1-olefin or said 1-olefin and a solvent which is inert with respect to the monomers and which dissolves the 1-olefin but not maleic acid anhydride, the reaction taking place in the presence of a radical former and from 0.5 to 10% by weight based on the maleic acid anhydride of a dispersion agent soluble in the dispersion medium which is obtained by the reaction of: I. 1 mol of a copolymer of maleic acid anhydride and a 1-olefin having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, with Ii. from 1 to 10 mol of an aliphatic, saturated or monoolefinically unsaturated, linear or branched, monohydric alcohol having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, or from 1 to 10 mol of an aliphatic, saturated, linear or branched monoamine having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms or from 1 to 10 mol of a mixture of the monohydric alcohol and monoamine, at least 30 mol% of the anhydride groups being esterified to semi-esters or amidated to semi-amides.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 218 words
A process for the production of a copolymer which comprises reacting maleic acid anhydride and an excess of at least one 1-olefin having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms at a temperature of from 30° C to 200° C and a pressure of from 1 to 200 atm in an organic dispersion medium comprising said 1-olefin or said 1-olefin and a solvent which is inert with respect to the monomers and which dissolves the 1-olefin but not maleic acid anhydride, the reaction taking place in the presence of a radical former and from 0.5 to 10% by weight based on the maleic acid anhydride of a dispersion agent soluble in the dispersion medium which is obtained by the reaction of: I. 1 mol of a copolymer of maleic acid anhydride and a 1-olefin having from 2 to 8 carbon atoms, with Ii. from 1 to 10 mol of an aliphatic, saturated or monoolefinically unsaturated, linear or branched, monohydric alcohol having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms, or from 1 to 10 mol of an aliphatic, saturated, linear or branched monoamine having from 8 to 22 carbon atoms or from 1 to 10 mol of a mixture of the monohydric alcohol and monoamine, at least 30 mol% of the anhydride groups being esterified to semi-esters or amidated to semi-amides.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 23 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, in which the 1-olefin is ethylene, propylene, butylene, isobutylene, hexene-(1), diisobutylene, styrene, or any mixture thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 27 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, in which the monohydric alcohol is nonanol-1, 3, 5, 5-trimethylhexanol-1, decanol-1, dodecanol-1, tetradecanol-1, hexadecanol-1, octadecanol-1, oleicalcohol-1, or any mixtures thereof.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 18 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, in which the monoamine is stearylamine-1, N-methylstearyl-amine-1 or any mixture thereof.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 35 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, in which the 1-olefin is diisobutylene, the monohydric alcohol is dodecanol-(1) or the C 12 -lorols, the dispersion agent is maleic acid-n-dodecyl-semi-ester and the dispersion medium is diisobutylene.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 18 words
A process as claimed in claim 1, in which the copolymer has a substantially alternating and equimolecular structure.
