Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the preparation of porous polyolefin particles, which process comprises the following steps: 1) dissolution of at least one crystallizable polyolefin in a solvent, which results in a solution being formed which comprises 0.1-50 wt.% polyolefin, and the initial polyolefin solution formed containing between 5 ppm and 20 wt.% of nucleating agent; 2) dispersion of the resulting polyolefin solution in a non-solvent, at a temperature that is higher than the crystallization temperature of the polyolefin in the polyolefin solution, upon which a multiphase system is formed; 3) cooling of the multiphase system, with simultaneous stirring, the cooling rate being between 0.05 and 10 DEG C/min, down to a temperature which is below the crystallization temperature of the polyolefin in the polyolefin solution, so that strong, polyolefin-containing particles are formed; 4) separation of the polyolefin-containing particles from the liquid(s); 5) drying of the polyolefin-containing particles at a temperature that is below the crystallization temperature of the polyolefin in the initial polyolefin solution.
Abstract:
Composite membranes of liquid crystal and/or dye and a polymer are expected to have various functions in addition to electro-optical effects and non-linear optical effects of the starting substances, and are promising as various industrial materials. Liquid crystal-polymer composite membranes produced by conventional processes do not have fully satisfactory electric and optical properties because the diameters of the low-molecular functional compounds and their distribution are nonuniform. A process for producing a porous polymer membrane by evaporating a solvent from a polymer solution containing water and alcohol according to this invention provides a porous polymer membrane having pores of a uniform size uniformly distributed therein. Furthermore a process for producing a composite membrane according to this invention comprises filling the pores of the porous polymer membrane with low-molecular functional compounds such as liquid crystal or dye to obtain a composite membrane wherein the low-molecular functional compoumd is uniformly distributed in a uniform size. In addition, in the case of producing the porous polymer membrane, the size of the pore of the polymer membrane can be controlled by controlling humidity of a highly humid environment or the amount of water in the polymer solution. Fixed membranes with excellent electric and optical properties can be obtained by providing electrodes in the composite membrane obtained by filling a low-molecular functional compound such as liquid crystal or dye in the pores of the obtained porous polymer membrane.

Abstract:
Porous cross-linked polyimide-urea networks are provided. The networks comprise a subunit comprising two anhydride end-capped polyamic acid oligomers in direct connection via a urea linkage. The oligomers (a) each comprise a repeating unit of a dianhydride and a diamine and a terminal anhydride group and (b) are formulated with 2 to 15 of the repeating units. The subunit was formed by reaction of the diamine and a diisocyanate to form a diamine-urea linkage-diamine group, followed by reaction of the diamine-urea linkage-diamine group with the dianhydride and the diamine to form the subunit. The subunit has been cross-linked via a cross-linking agent, comprising three or more amine groups, at a balanced stoichiometry of the amine groups to the terminal anhydride groups. The subunit has been chemically imidized to yield the porous cross-linked polyimide-urea network. Also provided are wet gels, aerogels, and thin films comprising the networks, and methods of making the networks.
Abstract:
The objective of the present invention is to provide a porous ultra-thin polymer film, and a method for producing said porous ultra-thin polymer film. The present invention provides a porous ultra-thin polymer film with a film thickness of 10 nm-1000 nm. In addition, the present invention provides a method for producing a porous ultra-thin polymer film, comprising the steps of: dissolving two types of mutually-immiscible polymers in a first solvent in an arbitrary proportion to obtain a solution; applying the solution onto a substrate and then removing the first solvent from the solution applied onto the substrate to obtain a phase-separated ultra-thin polymer film that has been phase-separated into a sea-island structure; and immersing the ultra-thin polymer film in a second solvent which is a good solvent for the polymer of the island parts but a poor solvent for a polymer other than the island parts to remove the island parts, thereby obtaining a porous ultra-thin polymer film.

Abstract:
Microporous polypropylene membrane or hollow fibers is formed from a melt blend of 5 to 20 weight percent polypropylene and a solvent. The melt blend is shaped and cooled to effect solid phase separation of the polypropylene from the blend. The solvent is separated from the polypropylene by extraction and the porous polypropylene is dried under restraint to prevent shrinkage.
