US Patent:

8541511, Sep 24, 2013

Filed:

Jun 15, 2009

Appl. No.:

13/001903

Inventors:

Scott C. Schmidt - Woodbury MN, US
Noah E. Macy - Royersford PA, US
Jean-Pierre Disson - Vernaison, FR

Assignee:

Arkema Inc. - King of Prussia PA

International Classification:

C08F 220/06
C08F 2/06
C08F 6/02

US Classification:

525369, 525299, 525267, 525191, 525240, 525323

Abstract:

The invention relates to an amphiphilic block copolymer having an increased speed of water adsorption. The non-water soluble copolymer, having a hydrophilic middle block and hydrophobic endblocks, has a high rate water transmission and/or permeation. The increase in rate is due to neutralization, or partial neutralization of the hydrophilic block of the copolymer. Furthermore, the absorption rate can be controlled by the extent of the neutralization. Another aspect of the invention is the use of co-monomers and/or additives to further increase or tailor the water absorption properties. The use of additives and comonomers is also shown to enhance the processability of the disclosed polymer composition.

International Classification:

C08L 53/00

US Classification:

521134

Abstract:

The invention relates to a polymer membrane composition having improved water flux and stable pore size. The water flux is improved by increasing the hydrophilicity of the membrane using a matrix polymer blended with controlled architecture amphiphilic block copolymers. Preferred membranes are those having a fluoropolymer matrix and acrylic amphiphilic block copolymers. The addition of the amphiphilic block copolymers are especially useful in microfiltration and ultra filtration membranes when used in water filtration.

International Classification:

C09D 153/00

US Classification:

524505

Abstract:

Methods for the preparation of low surface energy block co-polymers are disclosed. The block co-polymers comprise at least two blocks, each of which comprises, in polymerized form, an acrylic monomer, a methacrylic monomer, or a mixture thereof. At least one block is a low surface energy block, which comprises, in polymerized form, a low surface energy monomer. Low surface energy macroinitiators useful in forming the block co-polymers are also disclosed. The block co-polymers may be prepared by nitroxide mediated controlled free radical polymerization.

International Classification:

C09K 5/00

US Classification:

252 68

Abstract:

The present invention relates to polymeric oil-return agents which solubilize or disperse mineral oil and/or synthetic oil lubricants with hydrofluorocarbon, hydrochlorofluorocarbon, and hydrofluoroolefin-based refrigerants and refrigerant compositions containing them. The polymeric oil-return agents are random copolymers containing less than about 30 wt % fluorine and produced from at least one monomer providing compatibility with the oil phase and at least one monomer providing compatibility with the refrigerant phase. The polymeric oil-return agents provide for more efficient return of mineral oil and/or synthetic oil lubricants from non-compressor zones back to a compressor zone in a refrigeration system.
