Abstract

Abstract Polymers tagged with pendant fluorescent groups are prepared by the (trans)amidation derivatization of pre-existing polymers having carbonyl-type pendant groups. Polymers having pendant amide groups wherein the amide nitrogen is substituted with fluorescent moieties, prepared by (trans)amidation drrivatization, are provided. Polymers having pendant (sulfonated) napthalene moieties substituted to amide nitrogen are provided.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 16
Claim 1
Independent Claim 163 words
A method of preparing a polymer pendant fluorescent groups comprising: admixing an aqueous solution of water-in-oil latex of a polymer having ##STR6## wherein R is --OR' or --NH 2 , R' is hydrogen or a substituent other than hydrogen, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen or a substituent other than hydrogen, and R 1 is C n H 2n wherein n is zero or an integer of from 1 to about 10, and salts thereof and mixtures and combinations thereof, with an amine-containing organic fluorescent composition of the Formula III ##STR7## wherein one of R 5 and R 6 may be hydrogen, and within at least one of R 5 and R 6 or within R 5 and R 6 taken together is an organic fluorescent group, wherein said organic fluorescent group includes a polynuclear aromatic ring system; and heating said admixture for a sufficient period of time to accomplish a degree of (trans)amidation derivatization of said polymer.
Claim 2
Independent Claim 163 words
A method of preparing a polymer pendant fluorescent groups comprising: admixing an aqueous solution of water-in-oil latex of a polymer having ##STR6## wherein R is --OR' or --NH 2 , R' is hydrogen or a substituent other than hydrogen, R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently hydrogen or a substituent other than hydrogen, and R 1 is C n H 2n wherein n is zero or an integer of from 1 to about 10, and salts thereof and mixtures and combinations thereof, with an amine-containing organic fluorescent composition of the Formula III ##STR7## wherein one of R 5 and R 6 may be hydrogen, and within at least one of R 5 and R 6 or within R 5 and R 6 taken together is an organic fluorescent group, wherein said organic fluorescent group includes a polynuclear aromatic ring system; and heating said admixture for a sufficient period of time to accomplish a degree of (trans)amidation derivatization of said polymer.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 25 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said admixture is heated in a closed vessel at a temperature of from about 120 to about 200° C.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 17 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said admixture contains at least 10 weight percent of said polymer.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 32 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said amine-containing organic fluorescent composition is admixed with said polymer in an amount of at least 0.01 weight percent based on total weight of said polymer.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 33 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said (trans)amidation derivatization of said polymer is accomplished to the degree of incorporating into said polymer at least 0.01 weight percent of said amine-containing organic fluorescent composition.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 15 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said amine-containing organic fluorescent composition contains a primary amine.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 18 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said admixture has a pH of from about 3 to about 11.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said admixture is heated for a time period of from about 1 to about 8 hours.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 43 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said admixture is an aqueous solution of said polymer at a concentration of said polymer of from about 30 to about 40 weight percent, and said polymer has a weight average molecular weight of up to 100,000.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 28 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said admixture is a water-in-oil latex of said polymer and said polymer has a weight average molecular weight of at least 200,000.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said polymer contains at least 10 mole percent of said mer units of said Formula II.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said polymer contains at least 50 mole percent of said mer units of said Formula II.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 20 words
The method of claim 7 wherein said mer units are units of acrylic acid, acrylamide, salts thereof, or combinations thereof.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 22 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said aromatic ring system contains sulfonic acid, carboxylic acid, salts thereof, or a plurality thereof substituents(s).
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 26 words
The method of claim 1 wherein said aromatic ring system is a naphthalene ring system having from 0 to 3 sulfonic acid substituents or salts thereof.
