Latest Patents

The supplied information lists one patent for Bulow: “Process for the Preparation of Alternating Copolymers Prepared from …”. The invention describes copolymerization in organic solvents using salts of divalent metal ions as complexing agents and free-radical initiators. The process operates at pressures up to about 100 bar and temperatures from −78°C to 100°C. It produces a mixture containing a strictly alternating copolymer and a copolymer with a higher proportion of the unsaturated polar compound. The alternating copolymer can be separated from the mixture by extraction with solvents such as trichloromethane or acetone, while the complexing agent can be recovered in reusable form. Bulow is credited with 1 patent.
