Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods for preparing materials from heavy feedstocks. In particular, the disclosure provides a chemical process to convert heavy feedstocks with predominant polyaromatic hydrocarbon molecules or species, including the residues of petrochemical refining or extraction, into thermoset or thermoplastic materials that can be used alone or as a component in a composite material.
Claims25
A method of making a thermoplastic or thermoset material from a heavy feedstock comprising the steps of:
- contacting a linker agent and a catalyst with the heavy feedstock;
- reacting the linker agent with molecules in the heavy feedstock under mixing to form a reaction mixture;
- and
- curing the reaction mixture to form a thermoplastic or thermoset material,
- wherein the linker agent contains at least two functional groups that can react with the molecules in the heavy feedstock.
