Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE:
A class of amide group-containing aromatic dihalide compounds are sulfidlzed to provide a novel class of aromatic sulfideamide polymers increased in crystalline melting point (Tm). The polymers exhibit excellent resis-tance to high temperatures, resistance to solvents, flame-retardant properties and improved mechanical properties.

Description

This invention relates to a novel aromatic sulfideamide polymer and a process for production of the novel polymer.
The polymers according to the invention have a chemical structure in which phenylene and alkylene qroups are alternately bonded via an amide group and a thioether group.
The polymers are useful as materials for producing articles exhibiting improved properties such as excellent resistance to high temperatures, flame-retardant properties, resistance to solvents, good mechanical properties, etc.
Polyphenylene sulfide which is a polymeric compound comprising phenylene groups linked to each other via a thioether group is well known in the art. This polymer has such properties as good flame-retardancy, low moisture absorption, high dimensional stability, etc. However, since this type of polymer exhibits a relatively low heat distor-tion temperature (HDT) of 260C (GF 40%; i.e. where contain-ing 40% by weight of glass fibers) and a crystalline melting point of 281C, its usefulness in applications where high resistance to heat is required is inevitably limited.
Consequently there has been a demand in the art for the development of polyphenylene sulfide materials having higher crystalline melting points.
A polymer substance containing thioether, phenylene and amide groups in the macromolecular backbone, i.e. a polymer of aromatic polythioether amide, and a process for production thereof are described in Japanese Patent Public Disclosure (KOKAI) No. 60-226528. This polymer substance presents some problems in practice because it has a rather low softening point, is soluble in organic solvents such as dimethyl sulfoxide or N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone and exhibits poor resistance to chemicals. Additionally the synthesis of thiol group-containing monomers to be used in the preparation of the polymer is so expensive that production of the polymer is not feasible from the economic viewpoint.

1 31 74n7 The present invention, provides a novel aromatic sulfideamide polymer substance comprising a co~mercially available, inexpensive aliphatic moiety in the repeating units and which is improved in terms of resistance to high - 5 temperatures, resistance to solvents and mechanical properties.

It is preferred that the amide group-containing dihalide compounds contain bonds at the Para positions if it is mainly desired to improve the thermal resistance prop-erties of the product polymers. On the other hand, if it is desired to improve the solubility and molding properties of the sulfideamide polymer products, the dihalide compounds may contain bonds at the metha positions and/or at the ortho positions, or may be branched.
The amide group-containing dihalide compounds may be synthesized by the conventional amide linkage formation technique. A typical example of synthesis is a process in which a corresponding halogen-containing aromatic carbonyl chloride is reacted with a corresponding aliphatic diamine.
The organic polar solvents used in the process of the present invention are preferably aprotic ones and ones which are stable in the presence of alkalis at elevated tempera-tures. Examples of the preferred solvents include N,N-dimethyl acetamide ~DJ~), N-ethyl-2-pyrrolidone, hexamethyl phosphoric triamide (HMPA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (l~MP), 1,3-dimethyl imidazolidinone.
The sulfidizing agents which may be used in the process include alkali metal sulfides, combinations of hydrogen sulfide with alkali metal bases, and combinations of alkali metal hydrosulfides with alkali metal basis.
The alkali metal sulfides and hydrosulfides may be used as hydrates (from 0.5 to lO molar equivalents). The sulfldizlng agents may be prepared in situ prior to introductlon of the dihalide compound of the general formula (III) and/or (IV) into the reaction system. Of course, the sulfidizing agent may be prepared outside the reaction system and then introduced to the system. It ls preferred that, before the sulfidizing agent is introduced for commencement of the polymerization in the reaction system, the content of water in the system should be reduced to a level of less than 2.5 molar equivalents per equivalent of the sulfidizing agent to be introduced.
Among the available sulfidizing agents, sodium sulfide, sodium hydrosulfide in con~unction with sodium hydroxide, and hydrogen sulfide in con~unction with sodium hydroxide are preferred.
In the polymerization, a phase transfer catalyst such as a crown-ether compound, phosphor salt or an ammonium salt compound as well as an assistant such as an alkali metal carboxylate may be used to effectively increase the molecu-lar weight of the resulting polymer.
The polymerization is effected at a temperature of about 150 - 300C, preferably 180 - 280C, for a period of about 0.5 - 24 hours, preferably 1 - 12 hours.
The preferred molar ratio of the dihalide compound (III) and/or (IV) to the sulfidizing agent used in the present process ranges from 0.9:1.0 to 1.1:1Ø
The quantity of solvent used in the process may be such that the reaction system will contain 7 - 50%, prefer-ably 10 - 40%, by weight of the product polymer upon completion of the polymerization.
The product polymer may be recovered by conventional methods, such as vacuum distillation, flash-off, and re-precipitation with organic solvents or water. The isolated product polymer may be washed with any suitable organic solvent or water and then dried.
Generally, the aromatic sulfideamide polymers according to the present invention have a logarithmic viscosity in the range of 0.02 to 2.00, as measured at a concentration of 0.5 g/100 ml in concentrated sulfuric acid . --7--at a temperature of 30C. Polymers having viscosities of 0.05 to 2.00 are preferred.
The aromatic polysulfideamide polymers of the invention may be advantageously chain-extended and/or cross-linked and/or branched by heating in an oxidative atmos-phere, such as air or oxygen-enriched alr.
Where the polymers are molded or otherwise shaped, they may contain various filler materials. Examples of suitable filler materials include (a) fiber fillers, such as glass fibers, carbon fibers, boron fibers, aramid fibers, alumina fibers, etc. and (b) inorganic fillers, such as mica, talc, clay, graphite, carbon black, silica, asbestos, molybdenum disulfide, magnesium oxide, calcium oxide, etc.
As shown in the following Examples, the polymers of the present invention exhibit, on IR analysis, absorptions around 1090 cm~l (caused by thioether linkages), around 1640 cm~' (caused by carbonyl groups in amide linkages) and around 3320 cm~l and 1540 cm~l (both caused by amino groups in amide linkages). These IR data confirm that the present polymers have the structural repeating units (I) and/or (II).
The invention is illustrated in detail but not limited by the following Examples.
Since most of the polymers according to the invention are only soluble in some special solvents such as concen-trated sulfuric acid or an N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone/lithium chloride (95/S by weight) mixture, and are only sparingly soluble or insoluble in common organic solvents, it is not readily possible to determine the average molecular weight of the present pol~ers by a conventional method. Hence, the logarithmic viscosity value [n ] of a polymer is herein employed as a measure of the molecular weight of that polymer. The logarithmic viscosity value [~] is obtained by measuring the relative viscosity of polymer dissolved in a concentrated sulfuric acid solvent at 30~C and at a polymer concentration of 0.5 g/100 ml and calculating the result in accordance with the equation:

By this dehydration, 1.26 g of water containing 4.31% of NMP was distilled off. After cooling the reaction system down to 100 C, a dichloride Cl~ g-Nff~H2) N-C~Cl (0.04 moles) was added together with an additional S0 ml of NMP. The system was shielded and heated to 250C. At this temperature, the polymerization was allowed to proceed for 6 hours.
At the end of the polymerization period, the system was cooled and methanol was added to precipitate out the product polymer. The mixture was filtered. The filter cake was repeatedly washed with warm water and filtered and then washed with methanol and dried to give a light gray powdery 20 polymer product (10 g; corresponding to a yield of 70.6%).
The polymer had a logarithmic viscosity of 0.16 (as measured in H2 S04 at a concentration of 0.5 g/100 ml at 30-C). The polymer as such was not melt-moldable, but was soluble in, for example, concentrated sulfuric acid or 25 NMP/LiCl mixture (such a solution could be used in casting to give a film).
The infra-red absorption spectrum of the polymer showed absorptions at 1090 cm~' (thioether linkage) and 3350, 1640 and 1544 cm~l (amide linkage, respectively) (see 30 Fig. 1).
