Sulfonation Of A Polypentenamer And Preparation Of Its Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, D. Rahrig, R. W. Lenz

William MacKnight

Polypentenamer has been sulfonated using a 1:1 complex of sulfur trioxide and triethyl phosphate in chloroform. A range of polymers containing from 1.9 to 19. l mo! % sulfonate groups was prepared by this reagent and isolated in the form of sodium salts. These materials are initially free from covalent cross-links but cross-linking occurs with aging unless the polymers are stabilized with a free-radical scavenger such as hydroquinone. The unsaturated bonds in these materials can be removed by hydrogenation with p­toluenesulfonyl hydrazide. The hydrogenated derivatives are crystalline and no longer require a stabilizer to inhibit cross-linking. Both the unsaturated and …


Dynamic Mechanical And Dielectric Properties Of Phosphonylated Polypentenamers And Their Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, D. Rahrig, C. Azuma Dec 1977

Dynamic Mechanical And Dielectric Properties Of Phosphonylated Polypentenamers And Their Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, D. Rahrig, C. Azuma

William MacKnight

Dynamic mechanical and dielectric properties of substituted polypentenamers with phosphonate side groups and their hydrogenated derivatives have been studied. Methyl esters, acids, and salts were investigated at two concentrations, 6.5 and 11.1 mole percent. In the unhydrogenated deriv­atives, one principal relaxation, labeled fl, is observed mechanically in the temperature range from -160 to 100°C. This {J relaxation arises from micro-Brownian segmental motion accompanying the glass transition. Its temperature is substantially affected by the substituent concentration while its breadth is affected by the chemical nature of the substituent. An extended "rubbery plateau" region exists in the acid and salt derivatives. The …

Relaxations In Cyano-Substitued Polypentenamers And Their Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, R. Neumann, K. Sanui Dec 1974

Relaxations In Cyano-Substitued Polypentenamers And Their Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, R. Neumann, K. Sanui

William MacKnight

Two series of cyano-substituted polypentenamers and ·their hydrogenated derivatives have been studied by dynamic mechanical and dielectric relaxation in the temperature range from -160 to 110°C and at frequencies from 3.5 Hz to 10 kHz. Series I contains 7.4 mol % cyano groups and series II contains 20 mol % cyano groups. The amorphous cyanopolypentenamers display one major mechanical and dielectric relaxation region asso­ciated with motions accompanying the glass transition and labeled /3. A small secondary relaxation, labeled 'Y, is also discernible in the mechanical E" results. The semicrystalline hydrogenated derivatives exhibit three relaxation regions labeled a, /3, and 'Y …

Dynamic Mechanical Properties Of A Polypentenamer And Its Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, K. Sanui, R. W. Lenz

William MacKnight

ABSTRACT: A dynamic mechanical study has been carried out on· a polypentenamer and its hydrogenated de­rivatives. The temperature range was from -160 to 130° and frequencies of 3.5, 11, and 110 Hz were employed. The starting polypentenamer was amorphous and the completely hydrogenated derivative resembled linear poly­ethylene with a melting point of 130° and a degree of crystallinity of 85%. Three relaxation regions were found in the temperature and frequency range investigated and these are labeled a, {:J, and -y in order of decreasing tem­perature. The a relaxation (5-115°, 3.5 Hz) is absent in the amorphous polymers and those of …


Preparation Of A Polypentenamer Having Pendant Ionic Groups And Its Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, K. Sanui, R. W. Lenz Dec 1973

Preparation Of A Polypentenamer Having Pendant Ionic Groups And Its Hydrogenated Derivatives, William Macknight, K. Sanui, R. W. Lenz

William MacKnight

Polypentenamers having pendant carboxylate groups including esters, acids, and salts and their[hydrogenated derivatives have been prepared and characterized, and some of. their properties investigated. Reaction conditions were established to control the amount of pendant thioglycolate groups incorporated into the polypentenamer by the free-radical addition reactions of thioglycolic acid derivatives and subsequently to com­pletely hydrogenate the polymers so formed, which contained thioglycolate contents ranging from less than 1 mole-% to about 16 mole-%, without backbone degradation and crosslinking reactions. The glass transition temperatures and the melting points of these polymers were observed to depend upon the pendant group content, as expected, …
