Recycling ground tire rubber (GTR) scraps as high-impact filler of in situ produced polyketone matrix

2014

A sustainable procedure for recycling powdered rubber coming from scrap tires (ground tire rubber [GTR]) is proposed as based on the dispersion in polyketone (PK) matrix, obtained in situ by CO/ethylene copolymerization. Three types of catalysts are used operative in solvents of different polarities. The catalyst productivity and the hybrids morphology are evaluated and optimized to final composites features. The obtained products are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and solvent extractions in order to investigate the occurrence and the extent of interactions between PK macromolecular chains and the GTR components; and their effects on the final proper…

Enamines derived from cyclic ketones behave as difunctional intermediates when treated with phenyl isocyanate to produce dicarboxanilides. Reaction of bis(4-isocyanatophenyl)-methane with 1-N-morpholino-1-cyclopentene in DMSO leads to poly[iminocarbonyl(2-morpholino-1-cyclopenten-1.3-ylene)carbonylimino-p-phenylenemethylene-p-phenylene], a polyamide. The effects of various cyclic enamines and diisocyanates on the polymerization are surveyed. Morpholine and piperidine are more effective than pyrrolidine or dimethylamine when incorporated into cyclopentanone enamines. The molecular weight of the polymer decreases when the ring size of the ketone component is increased. The efficiency of the d…
