Method for Producing (Electro) Luminescent, Photoactive or Electrically (Semi) Conducting Polymers

The invention concerns the production of poly(arylene-vinylenes) and related polymers whose polymerization is triggered photochemically. For that purpose, the low molecular starting materials are firstly cooled to temperatures which are so low that in fact their activation into mostly chinoid intermediate stages (the “active” monomer) occurs; the thermally induced polymerization, however, either does not occur or barely takes place at all. The polymerization is instead triggered in a separate step by means of electromagnetic radiation of a suitable wavelength—either using the absorption behavior of the low-molecular starting compounds/the monomers, or mediated by means of photoinitiators and/or sensitizers. By way of example, with this method a display is suitable to be coated with poly(arylene-vinylenes). The monomer is hereby deposited. The polymer is subsequently produced in a photo-induced manner. The remaining monomer is washed out. The process takes place at low temperatures.

The resin has high heat resistance and high strength inherent to novolak resins and low stress inherent to organosilicon compounds. This non-provisional application claims priority under 35 U.S.C. §119(a) on Patent Application No. 2013-170436 filed in Japan on Aug. 20, 2013, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference.This invention relates to organosiloxane-modified novolak resins and a method for preparing the same.A variety of silicone-modified novolak resins are known in the art. Many documents including JP-A S58-122922, for example, describe novolak resins in which phenolic hydroxyl groups are silicone modified. With these structures, the characteristics of silicone compounds are outstandingly exerted because the characteristic of phenolic hydroxyl group which is one of characteristics of novolak resins is excluded. Another class of silicone-modified novolak resins includes siloxane-modified novolak resins having a conjugated double bond as described in JP-A H03-97710. Since the siloxane modifier used in this document is an organopolysiloxane having hydrosilyl groups at both ends, intramolecular and/or intermolecular bonds are formed, posing limits to molecular motion. In addition, since the resin has a conjugated double bond and an epoxy group within a molecule, the low stress characteristic of silicone is compromised despite good mechanical properties after final curing. Also, novolak type phenolic resins which are silicone modified by block copolymerization are known from JP-A H05-59175, for example. Since they are obtained from copolymerization of telechelic novolak resin with telechelic polysiloxane, they have the drawbacks that preparation of such intermediates is cumbersome, and the alkali dissolution rate is slow because ...

Polycycloolefin polymer compositions as optical materials

Embodiments in accordance with the present invention encompass compositions encompassing components A and B which respectively contain a procatalyst and an activator along with one or more monomers which undergo vinyl addition polymerization when both components are mixed together to form a substantially transparent film. The monomers employed therein have a range of refractive index from 1.4 to 1.8 and thus these compositions can be tailored to form transparent films of varied refractive indices. Accordingly, compositions of this invention are useful in various opto-electronic applications, including as coatings, encapsulants, fillers, leveling agents, among others.

NOVEL POLYMERS AND METHODS FOR THEIR MANUFACTURE

Embodiments of the invention relate to a novel class of polymers with superior mechanical properties and chemical stability, as compared to known polymers. These polymers are particularly well suited for use in anion exchange membranes (AEMs), including those employed in fuel cells. Novel methods for the manufacture of these polymers are also described. This application is a divisional patent application of U.S. Non-Provisional patent application Ser. No. 15/527,967, filed May 18, 2017, which is a national stage patent application filing of International Patent Application No. PCT/US2015/061036, filed Nov. 17, 2015, which claims the benefit of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 62/081,144, filed Nov. 18, 2014, which are incorporated herein by reference in their entirety, including any figures, tables, and drawings.Alkaline exchange membranes or anion exchange membranes (AEMs) allow for the transportation of anions (e.g., OFF, Cf, BC) from the cathode to the anode in an electrochemical reaction. AEMs are a critical component of AEM fuel cells, where hydrogen and oxygen are used to generate electricity, with water as a byproduct. AEMs are also used in water electrolysis, where water is split into hydrogen and oxygen using electricity. In both AEM fuel cells and water electrolysis, hydroxide ions (OH) are transported through the AEM, along with water molecules. AEMs may also be used, for example, in batteries, sensors, and as actuators.Known AEMs are generally unsuitable for use in AEM fuel cells or water electrolysis. Many commercially-available AEMs are based on polystyrene, which is generally considered a poor choice for AEM fuel cells or water electrolysis.Other AEM materials include polysulfones, poly(phenylene oxide)s, poly(phenylene)s, poly(benzimidazolium)s, poly(arylene ether ketone)s, and poly(arylene ether sulfone)s. These polymers contain an arylene ether linkage (—O—) in the mid-chain and a benzyltrimethyl ammonium group in the side-chain. This ...
