example 1

[0071] Charge the FM130D Littleford reactor containing 5.38% CaCl 2 31.82 kg of NMP solvent ("c" value 5.38). Then 455 g of PPD ("y" value of 30) and 2180 g of DAPBI ("b" value of 70) were charged. The process was then cooled to 7°C. Three terephthaloyl dichloride additions were made: 998g, 997g and 834g. After the first addition, the mixture was cooled to 10°C and after the second addition, the mixture was cooled to 10°C. At the end of the reaction, the reactor was inspected for sediment and no large clumps of DAPBI were observed on the walls. The product of (b×c) is equal to 377.

[0072] The reaction had 12% solids on a polymer basis and 14.7% solids on a total monomer basis. The final intrinsic viscosity was 7.5. The final polymer had a polydispersity of about 1.5 and a <3000 MW oligomer content of about 0.45%.

example 2

[0077] Charge the FM130D Littleford reactor containing 5.91% CaCl 2 31.36 kg of NMP solvent ("c" value 5.91). Then 493 g of PPD ("y" value of 30) and 2382 g of DAPBI ("b" value of 70) were charged. The process was then cooled to 8°C. Three terephthaloyl dichloride additions were made: 772g, 773g and 1538g. After the first addition, the mixture was cooled to 1OC and after the second addition, the mixture was cooled to 11°C. At the end of the reaction, the reactor was inspected for sediment and no large clumps of DAPBI were observed on the walls. The product of (b×c) is equal to 414.

[0078] The reaction had 13% solids on a polymer basis and 16.0% solids on a monomer basis based on total monomer. The final intrinsic viscosity was 7.1.

example 3

[0080] The polymer was prepared by the method of Example 2, and the weight average molecular weight and number average molecular weight were obtained. The polymer has a PDI of less than 1.5.

Abstract

The invention concerns processes for forming polymer crumb comprising residues of 2-(4-amino phenyl)-5(6) amino phenyl benzimidazole (DAPBI), paraphenylene diamine (PPD), and terephthaloyl dichloride, comprising the steps of: (a) forming a slurry of b mole percent DAPBI and y mole percent PPD in a solvent system comprising organic solvent and c weight percent of an inorganic salt, wherein the inorganic salt is present in an amount of at least 5 weight percent of the organic solvent, DAPBI and PPD being present in an amount sufficient for providing a polymer solution having a weight percent solids of 12 percent or greater on a polymer basis; and (b) contacting the slurry of step a) with a stoichiometric amount of terephthaloyl dichloride to form a product comprising the polymer; wherein the sum of y+b is 100, and the product of b*c is 225 or greater.

Description

technical field [0001] This patent application relates to a process for the preparation of aromatic polyamide polymers derived from 5(6)-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)benzimidazole (DAPBI), p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and terephthaloyl dichloride (TCl), capable of forming fibers with excellent physical properties. Background technique [0002] Derived from 5(6)-amino-2-(p-aminophenyl)benzimidazole (DAPBI), p-phenylenediamine (PPD) and terephthaloyl dichloride (TCl, also commonly known as terephthaloyl dichloride Acyl chloride) fibers are known in the art. Such copolymers are high-strength fibers made in Russia (for example, under the trade name and )The basics. See Russian Patent Application 2,045,586. U.S. Patent 4,172,938 discloses a process for preparing aramid polymers using a compound containing at least 1.5 but less than 5% by weight CaCl 2 Solvent in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP). [0003] The prior art does not allow the preparation of aramid polymers comprising DAPBI ...
