Filed:

Jan 19, 1999

Appl. No.:

09/233353

Inventors:

Abhimanyu O. Patil - Westfield NJ
Donald N. Schulz - Annandale NJ
Raymond A. Cook - Hampton NJ
Michael G. Matturro - Lambertville NJ

Assignee:

ExxonMobil Research and Engineering Company - Annandale NJ

International Classification:

C08F 434

US Classification:

526230, 5262305, 526232, 5262321, 526348, 526285

Abstract:

The invention relates to a method of forming carbon monoxide-containing polymers from multi-component syngas feeds and at least one vinyl comonomer. Feeds useful in the practice of the invention comprise ethylene in an amount ranging from about 5 to about 40 mole %, carbon monoxide is an amount ranging from about 1 to about 40 mole %, hydrogen in an amount ranging from about 4 to about 55 mole %, carbon dioxide in an amount ranging from about 3 to about 10 mole %, and methane in an amount ranging from about 4 to about 85 mole %. The feed may also include acetylene in an amount ranging up to about 10 mole %. The feed may contain at least one free radical-polymerizable vinyl comonomer, or a cofeed containing such a comonomer can be used.

International Classification:

C08C 19/34

US Classification:

525132, 525154, 525386, 525388

Abstract:

A process is described for functionalizing a copolymer comprising units derived from at least one α-olefin and units derived from at least one diene, which copolymer contains at least one double bond. The process comprises reacting the copolymer with at least one functionalizing agent to introduce polar pendant oxygen-containing functional groups onto the copolymer.

International Classification:

C08G 6702
C08G 6100
C08F23802

US Classification:

528392

Abstract:

The invention is related to non-linear, paraffin-soluble olefin/carbon monoxide and olefin/acetylene/carbon monoxide copolymers. The invention is also related to a method for preparing olefin/carbon monoxide copolymers by heating a feed of at least one olefin, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen, and methane in the presence of a free radical polymerization initiator. More particularly, the feed comprises at least one olefin, the total olefin amount ranging from about 5 to about 40 mole %, carbon monoxide in an amount ranging from about 1 to about 40 mole %, hydrogen in an amount ranging from about 4 to about 55 mole %, carbon dioxide in an amount ranging from about 3 to about 10 mole %, and methane in an amount ranging from about 4 to about 85 mole %. The feed may also include acetylene in an amount ranging up to about mole %.
