- the present disclosure relates to polyetherimide compositions having, among other characteristics, significantly reduced, or even no measurable level of estradiol like binding activity. Also included herein are methods for preparing and/or using the same, as well as articles formed from such compositions and blends
- Polyimides and in particular polyetherimides (PEI), are high performance polymers having a glass transition temperature (Tg) of greater than 180 °C. These polymers further have high strength, heat resistance, and modulus, and broad chemical resistance.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- Polyetherimides are widely used in applications as diverse as automotive, telecommunication, aerospace, electrical/electronics, transportation, food service and healthcare. Adding a reinforcing filler helps provide materials that are particularly useful as molded parts for metal replacement, for example in automotive and electrical/electronic applications since these compositions offer good mechanical and thermal properties.
- polyetherimides when prepared under certain conditions, polyetherimides can have small amounts of residual phenolic monomers. In some instances these impurities may correspond to the monomeric phenolic starting materials initially used to manufacture the polyetherimide. Besides affecting polymer properties, residual monomers can also be of concern in view of emerging regulatory considerations. Therefore, complete conversion of monomers is usually the desire of any polymer producer but is not always attainable. To that end, there remains a need in the art for thermoplastic polyetherimide compositions whose residual phenolic monomers exhibit certain beneficial characteristics. Desirable

- the term "compounding” refers to the intimate mixing of the polyetherimide and non-polyetherimide additives such as the phosphorous containing compound prior to preparation of a final product or article.
- Compounding is commonly performed by combining as-synthesized polyetherimide with the additive(s) and passing the mixture through an extruder to produce compounded pellets that can be dried and then further processed, for example into shaped articles.
- the pellets When dried, the pellets preferably have a moisture content less than about 100 ppm. Low moisture content is very important for formation of molded articles (especially injection molded articles) free from bubbles, voids, or surface imperfections such as splay.
- Exemplary further melt processing can include injection molding, blow molding, extrusion, gas assist molding, or compression molding processes.
- the additive(s) can be combined with the as-synthesized polyetherimide prior to any pelletizing, or after pelletization of the as-synthesized polyetherimide.
- Compounding can be performed either in a melt or in solution.

- solution processing the polyetherimide and additive(s) are combined in an inert solvent and maintained together for sufficient reaction time and temperature to reduce the color of the composition.
- the solvent is then removed, for example using vacuum.
- residual solvent for example chlorobenzene, o-dichlorobenzene, sulfolane, anisole or veratrole, should be less than 100 ppm. In other instances residual solvent will be less than 50 ppm.
- the temperature of the extruder in the foregoing methods will generally be the conventional extruder temperature used for forming pellets of a particular thermoplastic polyetherimide.
- the appropriate extruder temperature will depend on the properties of both the polyetherimide and the additives. Higher molecular weight polyetherimides and/or high heat polyetherimides containing monomer units that increase the glass transition temperature of the polyetherimide will typically require higher extruder temperatures, so that the melt viscosity is low enough for sufficient mixing with the additives to occur. Suitable temperature ranges are 300 to 420 °C, specifically 330 to 370 °C.

Tests were conducted by displacement of a radioligand. For each set of tests a 17b- estradiol control sample was run to ensure proper binding of the natural hormone under the test conditions.
- the polyetherimide hydrolysis product to be tested (Tables 1 to 3) was investigated as to its binding affinity for recombinant human estradiol receptors (rhER) alpha (a) and beta 1 ( ⁇ ) in vitro. 17 -Estradiol (E 2 ) was used a standard whose relative binding affinity was defined as 100%.
- Competitive binding assays were performed by incubating rhER alpha (a) and beta 1 ( ⁇ ) receptors with 10 nM [ 3 H]estradiol (the radioligand) in the presence or absence of increasing concentrations, 0.25 to 250,000 nM, of the phenolic test compounds of Tables 1 to 3 (nM is nanomolar).

- a further set of polyetherimides, examples 11 to 22 were prepared from the phenolic monomers: di-tert butyl hydroquinone (DTBHQ), methyl hydroquinone (MHQ), spiro biindane bisphenol (SBIBP) and N-phenyl phenyl phenolphthalein (PPPBP) that show no displacement at the alpha or beta estradiol binding sites at concentration below the 2.5 x E-4M.
- DTBHQ di-tert butyl hydroquinone
- MHQ methyl hydroquinone
- SBIBP spiro biindane bisphenol
- PPPBP N-phenyl phenyl phenolphthalein
- One equivalent of the disodium salts of the aforementioned bisphenols were separately reacted with two equivalents of 4-fluoro phthalic anhydride for 1 hr at 170 °C in dimethyl acetamide (DMAC) as described in the procedure for dianhydride preparation of examples 9 and 10.
- the resultant dianhydrides were recovered from solution and purified by methanol washing and/or recrystallization.
- the DTBHQ-dianhydride and MHQ-dianhydride were recrystallized from methanol, the SBIBP-dianhydride from acetic anhydride, and the PPPBP dianhydride from acetonitrile.
- the dianhydrides were then polymerized with one equivalent of meta-phenylene diamine (mPD), para-phenylene diamine (pPD) or diamino diphenyl sulfone (SDA) in a solution of DMAC at room temperature for at least 1 nr. to make an amide acid imide polymer.
- mPD meta-phenylene diamine
- pPD para-phenylene diamine
- SDA diamino diphenyl sulfone
- the 12.5% solids amide acid imide solutions were fully imidized with removal of DMAC solvent under nitrogen to prepare thin films by gradually heating from 25 to 375 °C
- the polyimide films were characterized by: DSC to measure Tg (20 °C/ min heating rate), % wt. gain after 24 hr. immersion in water at 23 °C and the onset of weight loss under nitrogen and air by thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA). Coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) was measured in ppm/ °C by thermo mechanical analyses during heating from -50 to 170 °C. The data for the various polyetherimides is shown in Table 6. The polyetherimides of examples 11 to 22 all show high heat capability with a glass transition temperature (Tg) above 200 °C. Good thermal stability was shown by less than 1% TGA weight loss below 400 °C in either air or nitrogen.
- Tg glass transition temperature
- a CTE of 36 to 47 ppm/ °C showed good dimensional stability.
- Moisture absorption is 3.15% or less for all the polyetherimides of Table 6 with many polymers having 2.65% or less weight gain on immersion in water at 23 °C for 24 hrs.
- example 20 is a replicate of example 9. In this instance the polymers with pPD, examples 12 and 15, were too brittle to allow reliable measurements to be made.
