20100056693 | Process for Synthesis of Imidazolium and Benzimidazolium Surfactants and their use in Clays and Nanocomposites - The invention relates to compositions of a semicrystalline thermoplastic and a dispersed phase of an organically modified clay, as well as a process for making the organically modified clay, which comprises contacting the clay with at least one imidazolium salt having two long alkyl chains, or a benzimidazolium salt having two long alkyl chains in the presence of a solvent, and recovering the organically modified clay having a d-spacing of clay intercalates of at least 28 Å and thermal stability at 300° C. | 03-04-2010 |
20100204431 | METHOD OF MAKING AN AROMATIC POLYETHER COMPOSITION USING PHOSPHAZENIUM SALT PHASE TRANSFER CATALYSTS - A method for carrying out a chemical reaction between at least two reactants occupying separate phases within a multiphase reaction mixture has been discovered in which at least one phosphazenium salt is employed as a phase transfer catalyst. The remarkable utility of phosphazenium salts as phase transfer catalysts is illustrated by the preparation of aromatic ethers. The phosphazenium salt phase transfer catalysts are shown to be especially useful in the preparation of aromatic polyethers such as polyether sulfones. | 08-12-2010 |
