Description

2 1 7 51 ~ 1 Dl-CARBOXY TERMINATED OLIGOMER AND BISIMIDAZOLINE ADDITION
POLYMERS AND COPOLYMERS AND PROCESS FOR OBTAINING THEM

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to polymers and copolymers able to attain high molecular weights and to a process for obtaining them at atmospheric pressure, without elimination of by-products, using a fast reaction that can be adapted to the RIM (reaction injection molding) process at 1 50-350C. More precisely, this reaction involves addition of bisimidazoline type chain couplers and carboxy reactive terminal oligomers.
Conventional poly-condensation reactions are equilibrium reactions. It is difficult to obtain high molecular weight polymers without operating at elevated temperature, under reduced pressure for a very long reaction time, with the risk of secondary reactions and, possibly, deterioration of the polymers.
To overcome these difficulties, the applicant has carried out bulk reaction of well-defined reactive terminal oligomers, at a temperature higher than their melting point, with molecules known as chain couplers (CC) in 20 order to obtain a product of high molecular weight. The chain couplers in which the applicant is interested are more precisely the bisimidazolines.
The use of chain couplers for increasing the molecular weight of polymers that are already of high molecular weight, carrying reactive functions, but present in small amounts, is already known. The viscosity of these polymers is then increased, and residual acidity decreased.
Thus, Japanese patent (Kokai) Tokkyo Koho JP 63 099,228 discloses coextrusion of a high molecular mass poly(ethylene terephtalate) carrying a small number of terminal carboxy functions, with a bisoxazoline.
However, this patent in which the starting materials are high 30 molecular mass polymers, does not indicate how to overcome the problems of obtaining such polymers, in particular by polycondensation. Additionally, that patent does not teach the use of bisimidazolines.
European patent applications in the name of the applicant disclose reactions between reactive terminal oligomers and bisoxazolines or bisoxazines (European Patent Application serial No. 93 401,873.0 of September 21, 1993) or bisoaxolones or bisoxazinones (European Patent Application serial No. 93 401,872.2 of September 21, 1993).

The value of using bisimidazolines under the same conditions is that they lead, after coupling, to the existence of linkages between P moieties only containing amide functions, as the recurring pattern demonstrates.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention thus provides polymers and copolymers comprising at least one recurring unit of formula:

--NH--C---P--C--NH--R'--NH--C--R--C--NH--R' O O O O
in which:
R is a single bond, a linear hydrocarbon chain R' is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon chain, which may be substituted, and of which the shortest chain linking the two neighboring --NH-- units carries two or three carbon atoms, and --c--P--c--Il 11 is the moiety of an ologomer of formula:
H O--C--P--C--OH
Il 11 O O

R may for example be:
- a single bond - a (CH2)q type hydrocarbon chain where q is comprised between 1 and 24 in which one or several carbon atoms can be mono- or di-substituted and which may include an aliphatic or aromatic ring or an olefinic unsaturation, - an ortho-, meta- or para-phenylene or an ortho-, meta- or para-alkylphenylene which may be substituted.
R' can, for example, consist of:
- a-(CH2)p-, type hydrocarbon chain in which p = 2 or 3 of which one or several of the carbon atoms constituting it can be mono- or di-substituted by alkyl groups such as methyl, ethyl, propyl, - two of these consecutive carbon atoms additionally being able to be part of a benzene ring which may itself be substituted by one or several alkyl groups .

the units of which can for example consist of polyamide, polyether, polyester.
This oligomer can be, in particular:

The diamines of formula H2N--R4--NH2 can be:

obtained from di-COOH terminal polyamide and di-OH terminal polyether, such as those described above, e) an oligomer obtained by substituting each polyamide block in an oligomer of the above formula by a polyester block, in other words a tri-block (a = 1) oligomer or poly-block (a > 1) oligomer of formula:

The polymers of the present invention are obtained by bulk addition reaction of oligomers of formula:

2175~51 HO--C--P--C--OH
Il 11 O O
and of bisimidazolines.
The bisimidazolines are compounds of general formula:

N=C R C R' R--NH NH

in which R and R' are as defined above.
The invention also relates to a process for preparing the 1 0 bisimidazolines.
Four types of synthesis reactions leading to bisimidazolines are described in the literature:
1- Direct synthesis by reaction between dinitriles and diamines without a catalyst, in ethanol solution or in the presence of catalysts such as sulfur or metallic salts, 2- Synthesis by reaction between dicarbothioamides and diamines, 3- Synthesis by reaction between diimidoesters and diamines, 4- Synthesis by reaction between dithiocarboxylates and diamines.
These reactions are reactions between diamines and derivatives of di-20 acids. The first type of reaction is the one that is preferably employed as thestarting diacid derivative, a dinitrile, is a much less expensive compound than the dithioamides, dithioesters and diimidoesters employed in the other types of synthesis.
Japanese patent JP 24 965 thus employs a reaction between dinitrile and diamine in the presence of sulfur. According to said Japanese patent, the bisimidazoline A can be obtained from adiponitrile and ethylene diamine.
NC--(CH2)4--CN + H2N--(cH2)2--NH2 1)S, 100C, 3 h , 2) Zn, 100 C, 1 h H I /C (CH2)4 ~ ~ H2 A

21 7~151 This process requires zinc to be added at the end of the reaction.
Under these conditions, it becomes somewhat difficult to purify the final bisimidazoline, and yields are low.
The process according to our invention consists in adding an aliphatic alcohol, having a boiling point above 80C, as the n-pentanol, during the first step, and eliminating the addition of zinc. Under these conditions, the starting materials remain in solution and the final product can be recovered by filtration before possibly being recrystallized. There is a distinct improvementin yields.
The addition or coupling reaction of oligomers of formula:
HO--C--P--C--OH
Il 11 O O
and bisimidazolines proceeds according to the following general schema:
N

/N=C R C/' `R' nHOOC--P~OOH + nR--NH NH

[NH--C--P--C--NH--R'--NH--C--R--C---NH--R'--]n O O O O
In order to carry out this synthesis, a temperature should be chosen such that the viscosity of the oligomer is sufficiently low, and notably below 500 Pa.s, and preferably less than 300 Pa.s so that the chain coupler molecules can become dispersed and incorporate and/or solublize themselves in the oligomer. This temperature is comprised between 100 and 350C, and is preferably between 150 and 330C.
The duration of the reaction under inert atmosphere is comprised between 1 and 120 minutes, preferably between 5 and 30 minutes, at atmospheric pressure.
It is also possible to obtain polymers according to the invention having solution viscosities determined in meta-cresol at 30C at concentrations of 0.5 g/dl that are higher than those of the starting oligomer (or oligomers) and which may attain, for example, values higher than 0.8 dl 9-~, having number average molecular masses Mn of high value, higher than 10,000, without eliminating by-products and without encountering the other difficulties inherent in conventional polycondensation reactions.
One or several chain couplers and one or several oligomers can be employed. Thus, concurrently or, on the contrary, successively, adding different oligomers makes it possible to obtain polymers with a greater or lesser degreee of randomization or blocking.
It is not necessary to use a catalyst, but this accelerates the reaction.
If used, 0.001 to 2% by weight, based on the oligomers and chain couplers, and preferably 0.01 to 0.5% of one or several conventional catalysts are 10 added, such as la 4,4'dimethylaminopyridine, paratoluenesulfonic acid, H3PO4, NaOH, or those disclosed in the applicant's European patent application EP-A -425,341.
Under these conditions, the reaction can be carried out in batch mode in an agitated reactor or in an extruder. A dry blend operation can then be used, or the coupler can be incorporate~ into the molten oligomer at a hopper of the extruder, introducing it continuously as a function of extruder throughput in order to maintain the stoechiometry of the reactive functions.
Preferably, the ratio ~N, [-COOH] / I- C ~ N H ,R ]
is maintained between 0.95 and 1.05 Because of this, the reaction product will include -COOH terminal groups if this ratio is above 1, the terminal groups below C~N\
NH,R' if this ratio is below 1, or these two terminal groups simultaneously if the ratio is equal to 1.
EXAM PLES
The following examples illustrate the invention.
In the examples:
- melting temperatures Tf and glass transition temperatures Tg were determined by Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) (Du Pont 9900). The melting temperatures were determined at the maximum of the melting endotherm at a rate of heating of 20C/min, at the second passage following a heating cycle at 20C/min up to a temperature above the melting temperature of the sample analysed, followed by cooling at 40C/min down to ambient temperature.
- Mass loss was measured by thermogravimetry (TGA Du Pont 951) at 20C/min. T50,o corresponds to the temperature at which the product has lost 5% of its initial mass.
- Chemical derminations were conducted on a Mettler DL40 RC
apparatus. A blank assay was always carried out before the actual analysis 10 itself.
Acidity was titrated using an alcoholic solution of 0.1 N or 0.05N
potassium hydroxide, the sample being dissolved in a 1/1 (by vol) toluene/chloroform mixture or in benzyl alcohol at 40C when it was not soluble under the above conditions (this applied to oligomers, polymers and copolymers that contained polyamide units).
- The viscosity in solution llinh was determined in meta-cresol at 30C
at concentrations of 0.5 g/dl.
The chain couplers employed, and the starting oligomers were as follows:
