Definitions

  • Polypyrrolidone possesses many excellent properties which make it desirable for utilization in the manufacture of end products, such as ribbons, films, fibers, filaments, rods,'bristles, lacquers, coatings, shaped articles and the like.
  • Polypyrrolidone can be converted into shaped articles in many ways. For example, it may be cast into films or forced through multi-hole spinnerets to form fibers or filaments. Regardless of the end use to which the polypyrrolidone is to be put, it is generally more convenient and efficient to employ the polymer in a solution. This is well illustrated in the textile industry where polypyrrolidone is employed in the formation of fibers and filaments, which are manufactured by several methods of spinning, such as melt spinning, dry spinning, and wet spinning.
  • the polymer In the melt spinning method, the polymer is heated to a high temperature until it becomes molten and is thereafter forced through sand packs and the like, and thence through a spinneret from which it is extruded in filamentary form.
  • This method has, however, many disadvantages, although it is widely used in the industry at the present time in the production of synthetic fibers and filaments.
  • the high temperatures used in melt spinning require the exercise of extreme care in order to prevent decomposition of the polymer.
  • the high temperatures also affect the chemical and physical characteristics of the polymer and thereby result in a product of inferior quality.
  • it is extremely difficult to add to the molten polymer at such high temperatures compounds such as dyes, antistatic agents, plasticizers and the like.
  • the wet spinning method obviates many of the disadvantages of both melt spinning and dry spinning.
  • the polymer is dissolved in a suitable solvent and extruded from a spinneret into a coagulating bath capable of leaching the solvent from the fiber. Normally, this method may be carried out at temperatures much lower than either the melt spinning or dry spinning methods.
  • additives such as dyes, anti-static agents, fire-retarding agents, plasticizers and the like
  • they may be incorporated therein without the danger of decomposition or seriously affecting the properties of the end product where the wet spinning method of filamentary formation is employed.- Furthermore, it is much easier to introduce such addi tives into a solution than to introduce them into a molten composition. Then again, solutions are much easier to handle during processing, and in many cases may be stored for long periods of time without a change in physical and chemical properties. It is much easier to cast a film from a solution than to cast it from a molten composition. It is readily apparent, therefore, that solutions of polypyrrolidone present many distinct advantages over molten compositions in the manufacture of end products.
  • the objects of the present invention are accomplished by dissolving polypyrrolidone in aqueous phytic acid or aqueous solutions of the water-soluble alkali metal acid salts, alkaline earth metal acid salts or the mixed alkali and alkaline earth metal acid salts thereof.
  • the phytic acid compounds utilized in the practice of this invention are normally employed in aqueous solutions.
  • the water is generally present in a range of 5 to 50 percent, based on the total weight of the solvent. However, less than 5 percent or more than 50 percent water may be employed with consequent loss of solvent power and in such cases the water and phytic acid mixture is an excellent plasticizer for polypyrrolidone. It is preferred, however, that the water be employed in a range of 30 to 50 percent, based on the total weight of the solvent.
  • the water-soluble alkali metal acid salts, alkaline earth metal acid salts and the mixed acid salts of the alkali metals and alkaline earth metals of phytic acid which are useful as solvents in this invention include lithium acid phytate, potassium acid phytate, sodium acid phytate, strontium acid phytate, calcium acid phytate, magnesium acid phytate, lithium calcium acid phytate, sodium magnesium acid phytate,
  • Polypyrrolidone soluble in the solvents of this invention may be prepared by various processes. Generally, however, polymeric pyrrolidone is prepared by polymerizing monomeric pyrrolidone in the presence of a catalyst or a catalyst and activator at temperatures in the range of 70 C. to C. However, since the polymerization reaction proceeds well in the range 20 C. and 70 C., these temperatures are preferred in carrying out a polymerization procedure.
  • hydrides, hydroxides, oxides and salts of the alkali metals that is, such salts as sodium, lithium and potassium pyrrolidone.
  • Organic metallic compounds preferably those which are strongly basic, may also be used as catalysts. Examples of such compounds are lithium, potassium and sodium alkyls and aryls of the alkali metals, such as sodium phenyl.
  • Another suitable catalyst is sodium amide.
  • the alkali hydrides are the preferred catalysts, since a distinct advantage is obtained by their use.
  • Sodium hydride for example, does not react in the polymerization mixture to form water which, as'is well known, has a deleterious etfect upon pyrrolidone polymerization.
  • a waterforming catalyst such as sodium hydroxide
  • all water of reaction must be removed from the reaction mixture by vacuum distillation or other means in order to promote polymerization.
  • the catalyst may be employed in a rangeof 0.002 to 0.25 chemical equivalents based upon one mole of monomeric pyrrolidone in carrying out a polymerization reaction.
  • polypyrrolidone having acceptable properties can be prepared by using a catalyst alone, it is preferable to employ an activator in conjunction with any of the catalysts mentioned above, since the polymer prepared in the presence of both a catalyst and activator has greatly improved properties over polypyrrolidone prepared in the presence of a catalyst alone.
