The present disclosure relates to catalysts for making sulfur-containing polymeric materials. In particular, the disclosure provides catalysts, and the method of using the same, for making sulfur-containing polymeric materials through inverse vulcanization at a temperature that is lower than 150 C.

Provided are two-component curable compositions and methods thereof. The composition includes a base component comprised of a curable resin and a first compressible filler dispersed therein. The composition further includes a curative component comprised of a curing agent and a second compressible filler dispersed therein. The base and curative components react with each other upon mixing to provide a crosslinked network. When used with automated metering pumps, the compressibility of the base and curing agent components can be matched, allowing for a constant mix ratio despite variability in applied pressure.

The production method of the present invention includes a step of supplying an organic polar solvent, a sulfur source, and a dihalo aromatic compound as reaction raw materials to at least one of a plurality of reaction vessels mutually communicated via a gas phase; a step of removing at least a portion of the water present in the reaction vessels; and a step of performing a polymerization reaction. These steps are carried out in parallel, and the reaction mixture is sequentially moved between reaction vessels. At that time, the internal temperatures of the reaction vessels are all not less than 150 C.

Compositions that are curable to polythioether polymers are provided, comprising: a) a dithiol monomer; b) a diene monomer; c) a radical cleaved photoinitiator; d) a peroxide; and e) an amine; where the peroxide and amine together are a peroxide-amine redox initiator.

The present invention relates to the field of inhibition of metal corrosion in hot acidic hydrocarbons, wherein acidity is derived from presence of naphthenic acid. More particularly, it relates to a polymeric additive for inhibiting high temperature napthenic acid corrosion, wherein said polymeric additive is polymeric phosphate ester of polyisobutylene succinate ester or oxide derivative of polymeric phosphate ester of polyisobutylene succinate ester. A polymeric phosphate ester of polyisobutylene succinate ester which is capable of acting as naphthenic acid corrosion inhibitor by inhibiting naphthenic acid corrosion in crude oil/feedstock/hydrocarbon streams containing naphthenic acid, and demonstrating higher thermal stability at elevated temperature varying from about 200 C. to about 400 C. [about 400 F. to about 750 F.] is disclosed.

Methods of making sequence-defined polymers and sequence-defined polymers. The methods are based on the orthogonal reactivity of monomers having at least two different functional groups. The sequence-defined polymers can be used in various applications. For example, the SDPs (e.g., pH sensitive SDPs) are used in cell lysis methods or as molecular vehicles to transport drug cargo into cells.
