A polymer containing carboxylate groups which is formed by polymerization, in the absence of toxic or inflammable solvents, of a water-soluble salt of a compound of the formula:
in which R represents C15H31-n, C17H35-n or C11H23 in which n is 0, 2, or 6, and
X represents H or OH,
with an aldehyde, preferably formaldehyde in the form of paraformaldehyde. Preferred starting materials are derived from both natural and Technical cashew nut shell liquid (CNSL) including 4-pentadecyl-salicyclic acid and 5-pen- tadecylresorcinol-2-carboxylic acid, both new compounds, obtained by subjecting Technical CNSL to carboxylation by the Kolbe reaction. The components may be polymerized in alkaline aqueous medium and used to bond particulate and/ or fibrous materials, e.g. particle board of wood chips.
一种含有
羧酸盐基团的聚合物,它是在无有毒或易燃溶剂的情况下,由一种式化合物的
水溶性盐聚合而成:
其中 R 代表
C15H31-n、
C17H35-n 或
C11H23,其中 n 为 0、2 或 6,以及
X 代表 H 或 OH、
醛,最好是多
聚甲醛形式的
甲醛。优选的起始原料来自天然和工业级腰果壳油(CNSL),包括 4-
十五烷基
水杨
环酸和 5-
十五烷基
间苯二酚-2-
羧酸,这两种新化合物都是通过 Kolbe 反应使工业级 CNSL 羧化而得到的。这些成分可在碱性
水介质中聚合,用于粘合颗粒和/或纤维材料,如木屑刨花板。
