Abstract
A process for the preparation of acetylene copolymers by catalytic polymerization of a mixture of acetylene and dialkynes or polyalkynes, using Ziegler catalysts. The novel polymers may be used as colored pigments, as colored coatings for metal, glass or plastics, and for the production of electrical or magnetic components.
Claims4
A process for the preparation of acetylene copolymers by the catalytic polymerization of a mixture of (a) acetylene and (b) dialkynes or polyalkynes with a Ziegler catalyst, wherein
- (1) the Ziegler catalyst is prepared from an aluminum-trialkyl and a titanium tetraoxyalkyl in a molar ratio of from 0.5:1 to 1:0.5,
- (2) the weight ratio of the mixture to be polymerized to the Ziegler catalyst is from 100:0.1 to 100:10,
- (3) the polymerization is carried out at from -90.degree. to +100.degree. C. and from 0.1 to 500 bar,
- (4) the dialkynes or polyalkynes are selected from the group consisting of butadiyne, hexadiyne, octadiyne, diethynylbenzene, 1,3,5-triethynylbenzene, 1,2,4-triethynylbenzene and 1,3,5-tris-propyn-1-yl-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene, and
- (5) the mixture to be polymerized contains up to 50 mole% of dialkynes or polyalkynes.
