Embodiment 1

[0066] Example 1 - Preparation of (TMEDA)ZnS 6 complex

[0067] Tetramethylethylenediamine (TMEDA) (408 g) and methanol (72 g) were added to a mixture equipped with a mechanical stirrer (close to the vessel wall), thermocouple, N 2 Bubbler, water condenser, and electric heating mantle in a 3-liter three-neck glass flask. The system was purged with nitrogen and the temperature of the mixture was adjusted to 35°C. Freshly ground cyclooctasulfide (powder) was added over 5 minutes while maintaining agitation at 425-450 rpm. The temperature was increased to 45°C, at which point 40 grams of metallic zinc powder (98% purity) was added over 5 minutes while maintaining agitation at 425-450 rpm. The grey-green-yellow reactor contents were then slowly heated to 86°C and stirred for 4 hours, or until yellow. Once yellow, the mixture was kept at this temperature with stirring for an additional 2 hours. At the end of the reaction time, the flask was cooled to room temperature, the s...

Embodiment 2

[0068] Example 2 - From (TMEDA)ZnS 6 The complex prepares the cyclododecyl sulfide of the present invention (S 12 )

[0069] Dichloromethane (750 mL) was added to a device equipped with a mechanical stirrer, thermocouple, N 2 Bubbler and stopper in a 2 L four-neck glass flask. Bromine (16.7 g, 104.5 mmol, 1.0 equiv) was weighed to contain 50 mL CH 2 Cl 2 bottle and add the mixture to the flask. The solution was cooled to 4°C. The zinc complex from Example 1, (TMEDA)ZnS was added in one portion 6 (97.5% pure) (40 g, 104.3 mmol, 1.0 equiv) and mixed with 50 mL CH 2 Cl 2 washing. There was an immediate exotherm to 11 °C. The solution was stirred for 15 min, filtered, washed with cold CH 2 Cl 2 Wash and suction dry. The solid was slurried in THF (250 mL), filtered and suction dried. Place the resulting solid in cold CS 2 (155 mL), filtered and suction dried to provide 10.2 g of a pale yellow solid (50.8% yield based on sulfur in zinc complex). Evaluation using...

[0071] Example 3 - Comparison of melting points of cyclododecylsulfide materials

[0072] Several batches of purified cyclododecylsulfide of the present invention were prepared following the procedures exemplified in Examples 1 and 2. Each final purified material is passed through Raman, Uniquat ® or ICP for analysis and the melting point onset temperature was measured using DSC as described above. The results are given in Table 1 below together with the melting point of "control" cyclododecyl sulfide by Steudel, R.; Eckert, B., "Solid Sulfur Allotropes", Topics in CurrentChemistry ( 2003) were extrapolated from data measured at DSC heating rates of 10°C / min, 5°C / min and 2.5°C / min.

Abstract

Methods of forming vulcanizable elastomer formulations are disclosed. The method includes the step of mixing an elastomer and a vulcanizing agent to form a vulcanizable elastomer formulation comprising the vulcanizing agent dispersed in the elastomeric compound; wherein the vulcanizing agent comprises a cyclododecylsulfide compound. Methods of forming vulcanized elastomeric articles are also described.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention generally relates to (i) methods of forming vulcanizable elastomeric formulations, (ii) methods of forming vulcanized elastomeric articles, and (iii) facilitating mixing, extruding, calendering, shaping, shaping and curing said elastics Formulations or vulcanizable compositions for body articles. Background technique [0002] Sulfur vulcanization is a well-known chemical method for forming crosslinks between individual polymer chains via the addition and reaction of certain vulcanizing agents (also known as "sulfur-containing curing agents"), Thereby converting natural rubber or other general purpose elastomers into more durable materials. In a conventional method for making durable vulcanized elastomeric articles, a sulfur-containing curing agent is mixed with an elastomeric compound to form a vulcanizable elastomer formulation comprising a sulfur-containing curing agent. The vulcanizable elastomer formulation is subjected to m...
