Abstract

ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE
Acrylic AB block copolymers that are useful as pigment dispersants and which are resistant to yellowing and other color changes, characterized by aromatic substituents bonded to the A segment of the block copolymer.

Description

~L3~852 DISPERSANTS RESISTANT TO COLOR CHANGE

~CKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
Previously, AB block copolymers have been developed which show good action as dispersants, which use aromatic carboxylic acids incorporated in the A
segment to provide binding to a pigment surface. Such copolymers are described, for example, in Hutchins et al., U.S. Patent 4,656,226, issued April 7, 1987.
Hutchins et al. note that many carboxylic acids, when incorporated onto the A segment of the block copolymer, can provide improved dispersant characteristics.
Preferred acids which can be so used include benzoic acid, 2-,3-,4-nitrobenzoic acid, 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, l-napthoic acid, and 3-chlorobenzoic acid.
While the Hutchins et al. compositions provide excellent dispersant characteristics, many of these compounds exhibit color changes upon extended exposure to light and aging. Because dispersants are often used in mixtures designed to produce a specific color, changes in the color over time are undesirable.

SUMMARY OF THE_INVENTION
The present inventlon is based on the discov-ery of a specific class of phenyl aromatic AB block copolymers which exhibit excellent performance as dispersants and which resist color changes due to exposure to light or aging.
Specifically, the instant invention provides a block copolymer having at least one A segment and at least one B segment, each segment having a molecular weight of at least about 500 and the backbones of which consist essentially of at least one polymerized ~3~L852 methacrylate or acrylate ester, at least about 20% of the acrylic moieties of the A segment having bonded thereto a moiety derived from an acid, amide or sulfonamide which is a substituent of a phenyl aromatic; the phenyl aromatic having another substituent which is a con~ugating group; the phenyl aromatic having no nitrogen, thiol, or OH group directly bonded to an aromatic ring, and wherein the B
segment contains less than about 20% of the acid, amide or sulfonamide moieties present in the A segment.
Preferably, the block copolymer is made by Group Transfer Polymerization techniques (GTP). A
preferred monomer for the A segment is 2,3-epoxypropyl methacrylate which is later reacted using a basic catalyst with the phenyl aromatic.

pETAILED DESCRIPTION OF_THE INVENTION
The instant invention is based on the discov-ery that, in block copolymers of the general type described in Hutchins et al., U.S. Patent 4,656,~26, the presence of certain aromatic substituents on the A
segment will provide excellent performance of the block coolymers as dispersants, and, at the same time, do no~
exhibit yellowing or other co:Lor change when exposed to light and aqing. Accordingly, the present compounds are exceptionally well suited for use as dispersants for pigments and in other applications where color change would not be desirable.
The block copolymers of the present invention have at least one A segment and at least one B segment.
While the block size is not critical to the present invention, each segment generally has a molecular weight of at least about S00. The bacXbones of the segments consist essentially of at least one polymerized methacrylate or acrylate ester. In the , ~L304852 context of the present invention, both methacrylate and acrylate units are designated as acrylic moieties. At least about 20~ of the acrylic moieties of the A
segment have bonded thereto a ~ragment derived from an acid, amide, or sulfonamide which is a substituent of a phenyl aromatic. The term fragment is used in the usual sense of meaning that portion of the moiety remaining after bonding to the A segment. Thus, for example, it will be understood that a phenyl aromatic having an acid group would bond to the A segment through that group, after which the acidic hydrogen would no longer be present.
The phenyl aromatic also has another substi-tuent which i5 a conjugating group. The term conjugating group will be understood to mean one having an atom attached to an aromatic ring and having a double or triple bond. Examples of such conjugating groups include ester, nitrile aromatic or substituted aromatic, or sulfonamide groups.
Another important characteristic of the phenyl aromatics bonded to the A segments of the present block copolymers is that they have no nitrogen, thiol, or OH group directly bonded to an aromatic ring, regardless of whether the aromatic ring is the primary component of the phenyl aromatic or a substituent.
Specific examples of such esters or amides include 4-sulfamido benzoic acid, n-phthaloyl~lycine, saccharin, and 4-biphenyl carboxylic acid.
4-sulfamido benzoic acid has the structural formula As can be seen from the formula, this compound, as required by the present invention, is a phenyl aromatic, has both a carboxylic acid group and a sulfonamide group, and has no nitrogen, thiol, or hydroxy groups directly bonded to the aromatic ring.
4-biphenyl carboxylic acid has the structural formula ~/~ C02H

This compound, as required by the present invention, is a phenyl aromatic having a carboxylic acid group. As a conjugating group, this compound has an aromatic substituent, a second aromatic ring. In addition, there are no nitrogen, sulfur, or hydroxy groups directly bonded to the aromatic ring.
Similarly, it can be seen that n-phthaloyl-glycine, o ~ ~ / CO2H
~ C H 2 and saccharin O

satisfy the structural requirements of the present claims.
The B segment of the present copolymers contains less than about 20% of the acid, amide, or sulfonamide moieties present in the A segment, and :'' . .

~304852 preferably none of these moieties. The B segment is preferably prepared from an alkyl methacrylate or blend of alkyl methacrylates such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), MMA
and butyl methacrylate (BMA), BMA alone, or 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA).
The block copolymers of the present invention can be prepared using the general techniques described in Hutchins et al., U.S. Patent 4,656,226. Using the techni~ues described therein, it has been found to be convenient to form the basic AB block copolymer, and then attach the reguired phenyl aromatic derivative by bringing the amide or ester into contact with the basic block copolymer under reaction conditions, reacting the ester or amide with the lS epoxy group in the block copolymer structure. In the alternative, monomers compatible with a block copolymerization processr such as GTP, which introduce appropriate pendant groups can be used directly. One such monomer, for example, is 2-(4-phenylbenzoyloxy) ethyl methacrylate.
The compounds of the present invention, by reason of the different polar characteristics of the A and B
segments, demonstrate outstanding performance as pigment dispersants. The presence of two conjugating groups confers excellent dispersion properties, particulary for pigments which are difficult to disperse. Moreover, these compositions are remarkably resistant to color change on aging or exposure to light. While this advantage is not fully understood, it is believed to be a result o* the polar groups having no nitrogen, thiol or hydroxy groups directly attached to an aromatic ring. It is believed that these groups allow formation of highly conjugated or quinone type structures upon exposure to light or aging.
In addition, the present compositions avoid the A

., ~ll3~3S2 .

more complex napthyl ~tructure seen in ~ome of the compound~ disclosed by Hutchins et alr In addition to th~ir complexity, these naphthyl material~ do not appear to be uniformly resistant to color changes upon S exposure to light and aging.
In the following Examples and Comparative Examples, the dispersants were evaluated according to established techniques ~or dispersing performance and yellowing. The Dispersion Rating refers to the sum of 4 ratings in MI~K, as explained in the Hutchins et al.
patent at Column 6, line 67 to Column 7, line 18.
According to that evaluation procedure, 4 represents a - perfect dispersant, while 16 indicates poor dispersant performance.
lS The increase in yellowne~s was evaluated by exposure to light and aging on a QW instrument, fo~lowed by color measurement on the LAB scale.
According to this test, the resulting number represents the change in yellow~ess of a white paint. The least change is therefore the most desirable. According to this test, for example, lor greater is unacceptable.
In the Examples and Control Examples, all monomers and solvents were purified of residual alco~
hols and water by distillation, use of 4 Angstr~m molecular ~$ev~s, or by passing throug~ a column of activity 1 alumina, as appropriate, and were stored under nitroqen.
In the followin~ Examples 1-4 and Comparative Examples B-D, the basic AB block copolymer, to which was added the various substituent group~, was prepared according to ths following procedur~.
A 5-liter fla~k was purged with nitrogen and charged with 1580 g of 60/40w/w propylene carbonate/~etrahydrofuran, 403.6 9 glycidyl meth-35 ~crylate, 41.3 g 1-methoxy-1-trimethylsiloxy-2-~L3101~L~3Si2 methylpropene (hereafter termed "initiator~), 4.2 g xylenes, and 0.4 g toluene. The glycidyl methacrylate was the primary component of the A block. After cooling to 5 C, reaction was initiated by the addition of 10.4 mL 0.34 M tetrabutylammonium-3-chlorobenzoate in tetrahydro~uran (hereafter termed ~catalyst~). The temperature rose, without cooling, to 45.8 C in 23 minutes. A feed of 1145g of 41.3/58.7 w/w methyl methacrylate/butyl methacrylate over 30 minutes was begun 28 minutes after first addition of catalyst. The methyl methacrylate/butyl methacrylate monomers were the primary components of the B block of the copolymer.
Beginning at the same time, 5.22 mL of catalyst was added over 30 minutes. At the end of the same time, 5.22 mL of catalyst was added over 30 minutes. At the end of the monomer feed, the reaction temperature was ca. 65 C. After a further 7 minutes, the temperature had risen to 85 C; an ice bath was used for 45 minutes to lower the temperature. After the ice bath was removed, 7.6 g methanol was added. Actual solids of the resin was measured as 48.77 wt %,theoretical solids was 49.15 % (obtained 99O2 % of theory). The actual epoxy content of the resin was 0.869 meq epoxy per gram of resin. The theoretical content was 0.888 meq/gram resin (obtained 97.9 ~ of theory)~
