Assignee:

Hoechst Celanese Corp. - Somerville NJ

International Classification:

C08G 7318

US Classification:

525435

Abstract:

A sulfoalkyl derivative of N-substituted hydroxyethylated polybenzimidazole is disclosed, produced by the reaction of an N-substituted hydroxyethylated polybenzimidazole anion with a sultone. The N-substituted hydroxyethylated polybenzimidazole polymer is first reacted with an alkali hydride to produce the anion of N-substituted hydroxyethylated polybenzimidazole. The N-substituted hydroxyethylated polybenzimidazole anion is then reacted with the sultone to produce a sulfoalkyl derivative of the N-substituted hydroxyethylated polybenzimidazole polymer. These derivatives find great use as ion exchange devices.

Appl. No.:

7/315992

Inventors:

Michael J. Sansone - Berkeley Heights NJ
Mark S. Kwiatek - Union NJ

Assignee:

Hoechst Celanese Corp. - Somerville NJ

International Classification:

C08G 7318

US Classification:

525435

Abstract:

This invention discloses a unique process for the preparation of N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymers from unsubstituted polybenzimidazole polymers. An unsubstituted polybenzimidazole polymer is first reacted with an alkali hydride to produce a polybenzimidazole anion which is then reacted with a substituted or an unsubstituted phenyl fluoride to produce N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymer. The N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymer produced by this process can be formed into a wide range of products, such as membranes, films resins or fibers. The produce can be designed to meet special applications by the choice of the substitutent. These N-substituted phenyl polybenzimidazole polymers can be utilized for numerous applications including reverse osmosis, ultrafiltration, microfiltration, electrodialysis, ion exchange and affinity chromatography.
