Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:
Fully and partially aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymers and processes for their preparation and use are disclosed. The fully aryl amine terminated products are curable with isocyanates to high molecular weight polymers and are thus useful in molding and casting as well as in sealants. The partially aryl amine terminated polymers may be further reacted with polyisocyanates to form thiol terminated polysulfide polymers containing urea chain segments.
These compounds are curable in the fashion of standard polysulfide polymers to form firmer polymers. The partially aryl amine terminated polymers may be also chain extended with isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymers. These block copolymers may be cured by standard SH terminated polysulfide polymer cure methods to prepare sealants of exceptional resiliency and weather resistance.

Description

ll~B167 TITLE: ARYL AMINE TERMINATED POLYSULFIDE POLYMERS, RELATED
COMPOUNDS AND PROCESSES FOR THEIR PREPARATION
BACKGROUND O~ THE INVENTION
_ This invention relates to the art of polysulfide and urethane polymers, processes for their preparation and cure and methods for their use.
The high molecular weight polysulfide polymers prepared in the known commerical polysulfide polymer synthesis bear hydroxyl chain terminals. When these high molecular weight polymers are chemcially split to form lower molecular weight solids or liquid polysulfide polymers, the resultant macro-molecules are thiol terminated. These materials, using presently available cure methods, are quite satisfactory and are commercially successful. Alternative cure methods con-tinue to be of interest because such alternative cures holdthe potential for even better properties and new uses for the novel products produced thereby. The introduction during the initial polysulfide polymer condensation of variously function-ized monomers so as to produce moderate molecular weight pro-ducts amendable to alternative cures has been explored previous-ly. The introduction of unsaturation, hydroxyl, carboxyl, alkylamino, amide and aldehyde functions has been examined.
The cure of the hydroxyl or unsaturation containing polymers has not proven commerically practical. The other groups are reactive with sodium polysulfide and the conditions of the initial polysulfide condensation reaction cause their loss.
No direct method of splitting the initially formed, very high molecular weight polysulfide polymers to lower molecular - weight products having other than thiol terminals has pre-viously been demonstrated as practical.
Several methods of converting hydroxyl or thiol term-inated polysulfide polymers to amine terminated polysulfide polymers which may then be reacted with epoxy polymers to ~k .~ qP

.
-2-form cured solid resins have been proposed. U.S. Patent

Here the alkyl amine functionality is introduced subsequent to the polysulfide condensation reaction and any desired molecular weight adjustments.
U.S. Patent 3,331,816 illustrate~ the preparation of alkylamino terminated polysulfide polymers of the formula:

wherein M, N* and Q may be hydrogen, lower alkyl, and lower alkyl ether or thio ether groups, w is an integer that is one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; y and z being one of 1, 2, 3 and
4; Riii and RiV are the same or different and are chosen from the group consisting of normal and branched alkyl radicals, alkyl ether or thio ether radicals, and substituted and unsub-stituted aromatic and alicyclic radicals; x is a positive number greater than 1 and R is an intervening polyvalent organic radical. The teachings of the specification indicate that benzyl or phenyl alkylene amines are intended by including aromatic moieties among the possible identities of Riii and RiV. In this patent, also, introduction of the amine terminals is after the polysulfide condensation and any desired molecular 11~8~67 weight adjustments. It will be noted that the structure of all the above suggested amine terminals is significantly different from those of Applicant's instant invention. In addition, it is noted that all the above compositions are cured with epoxy type cures. As~the above compositions are all alkyl amine terminated, they would not suggest themselves as useful curing agents in the urethane art. While alkyl amine compounds are useful catalysts in urethane cures, their high reactivity and consequent short "pot life" renders them generally not useful as urethane cure agents per se.
The reaction of liuqid thiol terminated polysulfide polymers with isocyanates is well known. Australian Patent 1,475,115 and the publication Modification of Urethane Thermo Elastomers by Polysulfide Polymers by Cherkasova et al in lS Sintez i Fiziko-Khimiya Polimerov, Vol. 19, pages 72-76, 1976 are recent examples. Other patents concerning mercaptan containing polyurethane compositions and curable liquid polythiopolymercaptanpolyurethane polymers are U.S. Patents 3,446,780 and 3,440,273.
The present invention provides methods of producing aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymers in either liquid or solid form either by direct synthesis or by conversion of a previously synthesized hydroxyl terminated high molecular weight polysulfide polymer without requiring a separate molecular weight adjustment step.

DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT
The manner of making and using the compositions of the invention will now be described with reference to specific embodiments thereof, namely, a liquid aminophenyl terminated polysulfide polymer based on bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal, having an average sulfur linkage rank of 2.25 and an average molecular weight exclusive of arylamine terminals of about 2000 (IX), a compound of formula I wherein Y is -Sx-Ar-(NH2)a; a liquid thiol terminated polysulfide urethane block copolymer (X) of the formula:

8~67 HS (R''-Sx, ~ R'-Sx, ~ ~ ~ _ _ -S ,-R" (Sx,-R"~kSH
(X) wherein x' is about 2.25; j and k together are sufficient to give the polysulfide portion of the molecule outside the bracketed portion a molecular weight of about 4000; bonding to the tolylene moiety is at the 2, 4 or 2, 6 position; and R" is -CH2CH2-OCH2O-CH2CH2-, a compound of formula III; and a compound of the formula XI:
~H 3 o , CH3 OCN{~NHCNI~--Sx I ~R -SX I tlR SX~ NHCNH{~3}NCo (XI) wherein x' is about 2.25; 1 is sufficient to give an average weight of about 2000 atomic weight units to the molecular backbone portion between the terminal units which commence with the phenylene moieties; bonding to the tolylene moieties is at the 2, 4 or 2, 6 positions; and R" is -CH2CH2-OCH2O-CH2CH2-, a compound of formula II.
To prepare IX, bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal may be treated with sodium polysulfide at elevated temperatures, conveniently from slightly above room temperature to about 90C, preferably about 85C, in a polar solvent, conveniently water, in the presence of strong base, conveniently sodium hydroxide, and in the presence of sufficient soluble magnesium salt to precipi-tate magnesium hydroxide for nucleating curd formation in the - polysulfide latex and an alkyl aryl sulfonate dispersing agent, over a short period of time, conveniently about one hour, to form a latex. The latex so formed may then be coagulated and solids separated from the liquid reaciton medium by settling and decantation of the supernatant liquid. The solid residue may be then washed with portions of water until free of sulfide reaction with lead acetate test paper. The washed latex sus-'` '' ' ' ' - , ~1~8~7 pended in a suitable reaction medium, conveniently water, may be treated with diamino diphenyl disulfide (VIIa), conveniently with the aid of a miscible solvent in which the diamino diphenyl disulfide is dissolved, such as methanol, and addition of such solution to the latex suspension at temperatures which may vary from room temperature to about 80C during the mixing process and then, conventiently, at about 80C, although one skilled in the art will recognize that the exact temperature is not particularly critical, until a sample of the reaction mixture shows the separation of a second liquid phase with no residual solid upon acidification, conveniently with acetic acid. If desired, the aryl amine terminated polymer (IX) may be treated with a stoichiometric quantity of toluene diisocyanate (VIIIa), that is, 1 isocyanate to l amine to prepare a high molecular weight chain extended polymer which may then be split at the disulfide linkages in the usual fashion by treatment with NaSH
and Na2SO3 to prepare X. If desired, X may also be prepared starting from a liquid thiol terminated polysulfide polymer (XII) having the dichloroethyl formal based backbone. XII may be treated with (VIIa) in a fashion s$milar to that described for the preparation of IX, conveniently in this instance, the ratio of diamino diphenyl disulfide to thiol groups wiil be l:2, although it may be greater whole number multiples, if lower molecular weight fragments are desired. The resultant product of this treatment (XIII) will be a compound of formula I wherein Y is SH. XIII may be treated with VIIIa at a 1:1 isocyanate to amine ratio to prepare X.
To prepare XI, IX may be treated with VIIIa at about a 2:1 isocyanate to amine group ratio. The reactions herein, unless otherwise specified, may be performed neat or in the presence of suitable inert solvents or suspending agents for one or more of the reactants. The temperature in most cases is also not especially critical and unless otherwise specified, they may be performed at room temperature or at temperatures slightly elevated above that point. In most illustrative ~ . , . - .. . . . .. .

~148167 examples, it will be understood that solvents, temperatures and reaction times are illustrative and that their variation wiLl be well within the skilI of the ordinary chemist.
One-of skill in the art will also recognize that in addition to the diamino diphenyl disulfide illustrated for the prepara-tion of IX and the various reaction products thereof, one may substitute other amino substituted diaryl disulfides and obtain analogous compounds of formula I. These compounds obviously may then be converted by processes analogous to those described herein to prepare compounds of formula II or III.
Similarly, one skilled in the art will recognize that in the reaction of initially formed high molecular weight polysulfide polymer with diamino diphenyl disulfide varying the relative proportions of diamino diphenyl disulfide, or, for that matter, any of the diaryl amino disulfides to that of the polysulfide polymer, will permit control of the molecular weight of the aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymer so produced.
It will also be obvious to one of skill in the art that in addition to the toluene diisocyanate VIIIa illustrated for the preparation of compounds X and XI, other monomeric isocyanates or polyurethane prepolymers having at least 2 free isocyanate functionalities may be employed to prepare analogous compound formulas II and III.
Similarly, it will be obvious that compounds of formula O
II wherein Z is -S-CNH-R'NCO may be prepared by treating compounds of formula I wherein Y is SH with a suitable diiso-cyanate with a proportion of about 2-NCO groups to the total -NH2 and -SH group content.
An alternative synthesis of compounds of formula I wherein Y is -Sx-Ar~NH2)a is to introduce a compound of the formula IV
in a standard polysulfide polymer synthesis. It is readily apparent that IV will act as a chain stopper. Surprisingly :

~1~8~G7 the excess inorganic polysulfide always present in such synthesis as it is required to attain high molecular weight appears to serve as a reductant to the nitro chain terminals, reducing them to amino groups. That reduction does not occur prior to introduction of the residue of IV as a chain terminal is further evidenced by the observati~n that p-chloroaniline does not introduce aminophenyl terminals if employed in analogous fashion to IV. Control of the ratio of compound IV to compound V will obviously allow statis-tical control of the molecular weight of the polymerformed. Obviously, in a variant of this synthesis, the aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymer so formed may be split with NaSH and Na2SO3, or their equivalents, to produce compounds of formula I wherein Y is -SH.
One skilled in the art will also recognize that in another variant of this synthesis; the aryl amine terminated polymer so formed may be treated, conveniently at elevated temperature, preferably, but not critically, at about 90C, with a conventional liquid thiol terminated polysulfide polymer, conveniently of about the same average molecular weight, to prepare compounds of Formula I wherein Y is -SH.
In the processes for the use of the compounds of the invention, standard methods of compounding, if desired, and of application and cure are contemplated. If desired, sealant compositions, either 2 part using separately packaged curing agents, or 1 part using blocked, dormant, sequestered or encapsulated curing agents may be compounded employing known fillers, plasticizers, adhesive additives, U.V.
stabilizers and the like. Application of the sealant to the desired substrate may be by standard methods as by extrusion from an applicator gun after mixing of the 2 part sealant with curing agent or activation of cure agent if necessary for the 1 part sealant. Or, if desired, the l'part sealant cure may be activated after or during application as by known heat and/or moisture cures. Cast or molded objects may , . . .

. ~. .. ,; . .

~8167 obviously be formed by pouring or injecting the co~posi-tion including any desired fillers, plasticizers or other adjuvants and allowing cure to take place. Conventional polysulfide and/or urethane processing techniques may be employed to produce rigid or flexible foams as well as rigid or elastomeric solids. Reaction injection molding and linear injection molding as conventionally understood are contemplated among the processes which may be employed.
Coated objects may also be prepared by standard techniques as, for example, through the use of a roller coater, a curtain coater or application by brush. The choice of curing agent will obviously depend on the nature of the terminal groups. NH2 and SH terminated polymers may be cured using polyfunctional compounds reactive with Zere-witinoff active hydrogen, such as epoxy compounds, poly-isocyanates, poly basic acids or poly basic acid anhydrides or poly basic aryl halides and the like, polymers with isocyanate functionality will obviously be curable with standard poly-urethane prepolymer cures employing commonly polyols and/or polyamines with or without catalysis. Polymers with -SH
terminals may be cured employing standard oxidative poly-sulfide polymer cure systems as, for example, PbO2 or Zn2 and the like.

The mixture is heated under nitrogen at about 95C for about 7 hours, allowed to stand overnight at room temperature and then treated for an additional 8 hours at about 95C, then allowed to cool and stand at room temp-erature for about 72 hours. An aliquot sample is taken and made acid by addition of acetic acid. A second liquid phase separates indicating that splitting of the high molecular weight polymer chains has occurred. Toluene diisocyanate (4.36g) is added to the reaction mixture and the reaction allowed to proceed 4 hours at room temperature. During this time an exotherm from 23 to 26.5C occurs. Acidification of a sample produces a crumb-like solid precipitate indicating reaction back to a high molecular weight polymer. Durometer readings on solid material are variable but over 60 Shore A.
B. To the product latex from Example 1 (36.1% Solids, 277.0g [lOO.Og dry]? is added diamino diphenyl disulfide (6.23g) in toluene (50g). The mixture is heated under a nitrogen blanket at about 78C for about 6 hours, allowed to cool and stand at room temperature overnight, heated for an additional 8 hours at about 80C, allowed to cool and sampled.
Acidification of the sample with acetic acid causes separation of a second liquid phase indicating that the original high molecular weight polymer has been split to a lower molecular weight. Toluene diisocyanate (Hylene~ TM, Du Pont) is added to the remaining reaction mixture. Reaction is allowed to proceed for about 4 hours. During this time, a slow exotherm from 24C to 26C occurs. Acidification of a sample gives a solid crumb precipitate indicating chain extension to a high molecular weight. After removing the majority of toluene ( ~ 8167 by distillation and washing the solid latex with water, a durometer reading is made on a cake held at lOO~C overniqht.
The cake.has a ~hore A hardness of 55 drop~iny to 50 in 2 seconds.

Preparation of and Splitting of Polysulfide Latex with - Diamino Diphenyl Disulfide and Reaction of the Low - Molecular Wei ht Product with Toluene Diisocyanate g Following a procedure analogous to that of Example 1 but adding additional free sulfur to adjust the rank of the starting polysulfide solution to 2.25, there is prepared a rank 2.14 polysulfide latex which is held at 100C to "toughen"
the polymer. The durometer hardness of a sample prepared from the latex is 50 Shore A.
To this latex (33.6% Solids, 2381g [800g dry]) there is added diaminophenyl disulfide (49.84g, 1 mole per 22 segment weights of polymer so as to split to average 4000 M. Wt. seg-ments) in absolute methanol (720g) over a 32 minute period during which time the reaction mixture is heated from an ini-tial 25C up to reflux temperature. The reaction is held at reflux for about 4 hours, allowed to cool and settle and the residue washed with water 5 times by decantation. A sample (115.05g dry) is washed 10 additional times by the same tech-nique, then treated with toluene diisocyanate (4.66g). After 4 hours, hardness on a sample of the reaction is 68 (Shore A).
The remaining latex from the diamino diphenyl disulfide re-action is acidified with acetic acid and washed to about neutrality. The product obtained is a liquid (719.2g) viscosity =
2220.0 poises.

2.25 ~4.2 moles) Na2S (2.3 moles) Sulfur (2.9 moles) and bis (dichloroethyl) formal (5.0 moles) and washed free of sulfide ion to lead acetate. To the latex at 85C is added 200g Na2SO3 and the mixture is held at 85C for 1 hour. The stripped latex is then washed by decantation. The sulfur rank found is 1.90. Hardness of cakes prepared from the latex both before and after stripping is 50 Shore A. The latex itself is 33.6% solids.
To the latex (2244.0g, 754.0g dry) is added diamino diphenyl disulfide (47.0g) in methanol (679g) over a period of 30 minutes while the reaction mixture is being warmed to reflux. Reflux is maintained for 4 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction mixture is allowed to cool and is divided into 2 portions. The first portion, part A, is washed twice by decantation then acidified with acetic acid. The lower layer organic phase which separates is washed 10 times with about equal volume portions of water. Following washing the organic phase is heated in a rotary evaporator at about 85C until a constant 1-2mm Hg vacuum is reached. Viscosity =
2300 poises at 25C, %N = 0.44% 500g removed from the original stripped latex, part B, is wahsed 10 times by decantation with approximately equal volumes of water. Dry solids at this point = 127.7g.

1~8167 Preparation of Aryl Amine Terminated Liquid Polymer of About 4000 Molecular Weight followed by Disulfide-Mercaptan Group Interchange Resulting in Polymer Having both Thiol and Aryl Amine Terminals A 100 grams of aryl amine liquid polymer made by the process described in example 8 is mixed with 100 grams of 4000 molecular weight polysulfide liquid polymer with all thiol terminals and having 0.5~ crosslinking. This results in a homogeneous solution of one polymer in the other which then is heated to 90C and is held at that temperature for 10 hours. This treatment results in an interchange of terminal thiol groups with polysulfide groups along the chain forming new polymeric molecules with an average of one thiol terminal and one aryl amine terminal. About 200 grams of product is obtained.
When a sample of this product is treated with PbO2 the liquid polymer becomes more viscous but does not cure.
Analysis for thiol and aryl amine groups shows that practi-cally no thiol groups are present and that the calculatedamount of aryl amine groups are still substantially present as the only polymer terminals. When a stoichiometric quantity of toluene diisocyanate is added corresponding to the aryl amine groups the polymer solidifies to a soft solid in about two hours at room temperature.
