Abstract

Amide-imide-hydantoin polymers are prepared from trimellitic anhydride, a diisocyanate and reacting the isocyanate terminated amide-imide with a glycine derivative of the formula ##STR1## WHERE R is aromatic, R1 are the same or different and are hydrogen or alkyl, R2 is dialkylamino, alkoxy or aroxy and x is an integer from 2 to 4. A portion of the trimellitic anhydride can be replaced by a dicarboxylic acid, a dianhydride or a tribasic acid. The products are soluble in cresol type solvent.

Description

This is a continuation of application Ser. No. 166,594 filed July 27, 1971, now abandoned.
The present invention relates to novel amide-imide-hydantoin polymers. The polymers are useful in making wire enamels to coat electrical conductors.
Due to the complex nature of the product, it is not possible to draw a complete structure of the product. A representative structure is
--H--II--AI--AA--H--AI--H--AI--H--AI--AI--H--AI--AA--H--AI--II--H--
where AI stands for amide-imide, AA stands for amide-amido, H for hydantoin and II for imide-imide units. The two parts of the formula, (1) amide-imide and (2) hydantoin, culminate in a fairly uniform linkage distribution rather than in having extremely large blocks of amide-imide or hydantoin linkages. For simplicity, the polymer is shown as --AI--AA--H--II--.
The recurring hydantoin units have the formula ##STR2## IN WHICH Ar represents an aromatic hydrocarbon or substituted aromatic hydrocarbon, e.g., substituted by halogen such as chloro or bromo, nitro, alkoxy, e.g. methoxy or ethoxy, alkyl, e.g., methyl, ethyl or butyl, dialkylamino, e.g., dimethyl amino acyl, e.g., acetyl or propionyl, carbalkoxy e.g., carbo-methoxy or carbo-ethoxy or cyano. The hydrocarbon ring can be derived from benzene, naphthalene, anthracene, diphenyl, or a substituted aromatic compound such as triphenylmethane, a diphenyl alkane, e.g., diphenylmethane, diphenylethane or diphenyl propane, a diphenyl alkene, e.g., stilbene, diphenyl ether, diphenyl thioether, diphenylsulfone, or a polyphenyl ether, R1 is hydrogen or alkyl, usually hydrogen or alkyl of 1 to 6 carbon atoms, .[.and Y.]. .Iadd.Y is the residue of the reaction product of trimellitic anhydride and a diisocyanate having the formula OCN-Z-NCO, where Z .Iaddend.is as defined for Ar or is alkylene of 4 to 10 carbon atoms, oxyalkylene of 4 to 10 atoms, or thioalkylene of 4 to 10 carbon atoms.
The polymers of the present invention having at least 5% of the linkages as recurring hydantoin units are soluble in cresylic type solvents, e.g., meta paracresol, cresylic acid, etc. In general 20 to 60% of the linkages preferably are present as recurring hydantoin units.
The wire enamels prepared from the polymers of the present invention have outstanding Freon blister resistance when used coated on wire, e.g., copper wire, for hermetic systems (Freon is a fluorinated hydrocarbon, e.g., monochlorodifluoromethane, Freon 22). Additionally, the wire enamels exhibit a general higher than average cut-through value, and higher G.E. abrasion scrape resistance than other cresylic acid soluble wire enamels.
The preferred procedure for forming the amide-imide-hydantoin polymers of the present invention is to react a diisocyanate with trimellitic anhydride, usually at 100% solids (i.e. in the absence of a solvent) (see also Sumitomo British Pat. 1,220,590). This permits the formation of an isocyanate terminated amide-imide prepolymer with no interference from the cresol type solvent. The amide-imide polymer has 20-80% amide groups and 80-20% imide groups, preferably 30-70% amide groups and 70-30% imide groups.
As the diisocyanate there can be used aromatic, aliphatic and cycloaliphatic diisocyanates such as 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate, 2,4-toluene diisocyanate, isophorone diisocyanate, 2,6-toluene diisocyanate, ethyl benzene diisocyanate, tetramethylene diisocyanate, pentamethylene diisocyanate, hexamethylene diisocyanate, octamethylene diisocyanate, decamethylene diisocyanate, diisopropyl benzene diisocyanate, tri-isopropyl benzene diisocyanate, 2-chloro-p-phenylene diisocyanate, naphthalene diisocyanate, glycol-di-p-isocyanato phenyl ester, 4,4'-diisocyanato-diphenyl ether, 1,2-bis-p-isocyanato-phenylethane, 4,4'-diisocyanato-stilbene, 4,4'-diphenyl sulfone diisocyanate, 3,5,6-trichlorotolylene diisocyanate, xylylene diisocyanate, propyl benzene diisocyanate, m-phenylene diisocyanate, p-phenylene diisocyanate, dodecamethylene diisocyanate, tetrachloro-m-phenylene diisocyanate, 4,4'-bis-o-tolylene diisocyanate, 4,4'-methylene-di-o-tolylisocyanate, 4-methoxy-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 4-chloro-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 4-isopropyl-1,3-phenylene diisocyanate, 2,4'-diisocyanatodiphenyl ether, 3,3'-dimethyl-4,4'-diisocyanatodiphenyl methane, mesitylene diisocyanate, durylene diisocyanate.
After the isocyanate terminated amide-imide prepolymer is made, it is dissolved in a solvent, usually a cresylic solvent, e.g., p-cresol, o-cresol, m-cresol, cresylic acid or even in phenol with or without a hydrocarbon diluent, and is reacted with a glycine ester of the formula ##STR3## where Ar is as defined above, R1 is as defined above (the R1 groups can be the same or different), R2 is dialkylamino, alkoxy or aryloxy, and x is an integer from 2 to 4. Thus, there can be used glycine derivatives disclosed in Merten, British Pat. 1,106,915, Mar. 20, 1968, e.g., methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine methyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine propyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine isopropyl ester), methylene bis (N-phenyl glycine butyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine sec. butyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine hexyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine cyclohexyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine isooctyl ester), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine), methylene bis(N-phenyl N',N'-dimethyl glycinamide), methylene bis (N-phenyl-N',N'-dibutyl glycinamide), methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine phenyl ester), methylene bis (N-phenyl glycine p-tolyl ester), oxybis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), oxybis(N-phenyl glycine methyl ester), thiobis (N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), thiobis(phenyl glycine butyl ester), sulfone bis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), oxybis(N-3-chlorophenyl glycine ethyl ester), oxybis(N-2-chlorophenyl glycine methyl ester), ethylene bis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), tetramethylene bis(N-phenyl glycine amyl ester), hexamethylene bis(N-phenyl glycine methyl ester), decamethylene bis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), diphenyl 4,4'-bis(glycine ethyl ester), stilbene-4,4'-bis(glycine ethyl ester), N,N'-bis carboxymethyl-2,2'-diaminobenzene, N,N'-bis(methoxycarbonyldimethyl-methyl)-4,4'-diaminodiphenyl methane, ethylidene bis (N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), isopropylidene bis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), butylidene bis(N-phenyl glycine propyl ester), tridecane 6,6-bis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester), N,N'-bis(methoxycarbonyl-dimethyl-methyl) m-phenylene diamine.
In the reaction of the trimellitic anhydride with the isocyanate, a portion of the trimellitic anhydride can be replaced by a dicarboxylic acid or a difunctional anhydride, i.e. a carboxylic dianhydride, in an amount of 0.1 to 50 mole percent based on the moles of trimellitic anhydride. Such dicarboxylic acids and dianhydrides include, for example, isophthalic acid (15 molar percent preferred), terephthalic acid (preferably not over 20 molar percent and most preferably 8 molar percent) phenylindane dicarboxylic acid, adipic acid, pimelic acid, 4,4'-dicarboxy diphenyl ether, 4,4'-dicarboxy diphenyl sulfone, benzophenone dianhydride, cyclopentane dianhydride and pyromellitic dianhydride. The only dicarboxylic acids which should be excluded are those which form imides by reaction with amines or isocyanates (e.g., ortho phthalic acid and glutaric acid).
A small portion of the trimellitic anhydride can be replaced by a trifunctional carboxylic acid to institute branching. Thus there can be used up to about 10 molar percent trimesic acid based on the trimellitic anhydride.
The molar ratio acid and anhydride reactants to methylene bis(N-phenyl glycine ethyl ester) or other hydantoin forming material can be from a high of 95:5 to a low of 5:95.
In general the range of reactants is as follows:
(1) diisocyanate 0.85 to 1.05 moles (1.00 preferred)
(2) glycine derivative 0.05 to 0.95 mole (0.40 preferred)
(3) trimellitic anhydride .Badd..[. 0.05 or 0.5-0.6.]..Baddend. .Iadd.0.95 .Iaddend.to 0.01 mole (0.4-0.5 preferred). .Iadd.A more specific range is 0.5-0.6 mole. .Iaddend.

(5) dianhydride 0.0 to 0.3 mole (0.2 preferred)
(6) tricarboxylic acid 0.0 to 0.05 mole (0.033 preferred)
(7) organometallic content, preferably organic titanates (0.0 to 1.0 mole (0.0-0.06 preferred).
The total of (2), (3), (4), (5) and (6) should range from 1.05 to 0.95 moles (preferably 1.00), i.e. the equivalents of diisocyanate or diisocyanate and organic titanate are about equal to the equivalents of the other reactants.
The organic titanate can be up to about 15 equivalent percent of the diisocyanate.
The reaction temperature is not critical but usually the hydantoins are formed by reacting at 80°-500° C.
The solvents are preferably of the phenolic type as stated, e.g., cresylic acid, or individual cresols or mixtures thereof alone or with phenol, xylenol, chlorophenol, etc. When a hydrocarbon diluent is present, it can be present in an amount up to 46.5% or more of the solvent by volume, usually it is 10-25% of the solvent mixture by volume. Examples of such diluents are xylene, toluene, enamel wire naphtha, Solvesso 100 (aromatic naphtha boiling range 316°-338° F.), Solvesso 150 (aromatic naphtha 366°-399° F.), N-150 (aromatic naphthenes 372°-500° F.).
Unless otherwise indicated, all parts and percentages are by weight.
The wire enamels prepared in the present invention can be applied to an electrical conductor, e.g. copper, silver, aluminum or stainless steel wire in conventional fashion, e.g., by the "free dip" method or the "die application" procedure, both of which procedures are described in Meyer Pat. 3,201,276. Wire speeds of 30 to 50 feet per minute or higher can be used with wire tower temperatures of 250°-800° F., usually with a final temperature of above 500° F. The build-up of the polyamide-imide-hydantoin enamel on the wire can be 0.005 to 0.010 inch, preferably 0.002 to 0.004 inch using No. 18 wire. The wire is passed through the enamel one or more times until the desired build-up is obtained. (The build-up is the total increase in diameter over the bare wire diameter).

The major modification of Examples 11 and 12 is that only 0.9 mole of 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate was employed. The 0.1 equivalent that was lacking for equivalency was made up with tetraisopropyl titanate. In place of the tetraisopropyl titanate, there can be employed other titanates, e.g. alkyl and aryl titanates such as tetramethyl titanate, tetrabutyl titanate, tetrapropyl titanate, tetrahexyl titanate, tetraphenyl titanate and tetracresyl titanate, as well as other titanates such as titanium glycolate and titanium tetratriethanolamine.
The major improvements in Examples 11 and 12 over the other examples are:
(1) they permit faster running speeds on the wire tower,
(2) there is much higher cut through,
(3) there is more consistent mandrel after snap results,
(4) there is more consistent burnout (4 min. at 33 amps),
(5) there is a higher Reliance burnout, and
(6) there is a better Emerson scrape.
It should be noted that one mole of titanate is considered to contain 3 equivalents since one of the organic groups is not readily removable.
A number of comparative experiments were run following the teachings of Merten British Pat. 1,106,915. An attempt to perform Example 37 resulted in the production of a polymer which was insoluble in the recommended solvent, dimethyl sulfoxide and diethyl acetamide (weight ratio 1:1). Examples 33 and 34 of Merten were repeated and the products run on the wire with the following results.
