MEN: Help Me With My Project?
1 year ago
Hey there! I need a little help gathering information for a final project. Your help is required! It's pretty simple. There are these 10 sentences:
1) Cuts go down in your blood, then into another country
2) I can speak Italian, "MAMA MIA"
3) I get to go on the slide first!!
4) Well i know but sometimes i scold the cat is what i do
5) When i am a dad, any paint craft my kids want to do they can do it on the walls
6) Everybody knows that the stork brings the baby
7) How can something that makes flowers be bad?
8) I will never get married
9) When people love each other they hug and kiss
10) Some boys are cute and make jokes in class to make everyone laugh
All you have to do is give me 10 little mini answers. Like this: 7) I think this sentence is from a girl because little girls talk about flowers more than boys I think. Or rather, it's more common to hear a young girl say this than a boy."
Super simple. It'll take you 5-10 minutes tops. I just need to collect this data from a bunch of people, and fast!
Thank You

Over this past weekend, @Dylon and myself raised $1653 dollars, with 869 from my page, and 784 from his. It means a lot that we were able to raise such an amount, and for a noble cause. It was a truly incredible experience, and I was blown away by the generosity of friends, family, and complete strangers. So really, thank you, all of you, for donating, even if it wasn't to either of us.
1 year ago
So! I reached my halfway goal for extra life! And if you've been following along, (and if you haven't check this link http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=51455) that means it's time for...
So I'll leave the comment section to you guys! Start giving some suggestions for the first big rule, and I'll chime in here and there, and eventually make a decision and a new post about it! GO GO GO!
Extra-Life Update!
1 year ago
If you didn't know, I'll be doing Extra-Life this year! All the deets are on my page here: http://www.extra-life.org/index.cfm?fuseaction=donorDrive.participant&participantID=51455
For those that did know about it, I added some new conditions! READ ON
I decided to add some conditions! Basically, if I hit certain cash goals, I will impose new rules during my play time that will make my life much harder, but hopefully much more enjoyable to watch! So now you have even more incentive to donate! And the kicker is.... THE VIEWERS WILL DECIDE THE RULES! That's right, if I hit these goals during the stream, we will decide right then and there what the new rules will be (Unless no one shows up to watch, then I'll just do it myself and cry). If I hit the goals before the stream, I'll make a big post and poll what the rules should be before I start! So, here are the goals that will unlock new rules:
Halfway Goal! -- $253.50
75% Goal! -- $380.50
And maybe, just maybe, if we go beyond the goal... We will hit the realm of secret mega ultra rules. But we'll cross that bridge when we ride to it.
So yeah, that's it. I'd love for people to donate, or show up to watch me make a fool of myself for 25 hours!
Things that happened today
2 years ago
So some cool things happened today.
First off, RWBY debuted, and I thought it was pretty damn rad. I'm excited to see how to flows/what comes from it.
Second, at work today a private zoo brought over some animals to show the kids. We saw a desert fox, an African porcupine that has a huge tail and lives in trees, a rabbit that was bigger than a house cat and was still a baby, and these two awesome thangs:
That guy is a Bearded Dragon, and I love him. I secretly named him Gerald, and we're going to be best friends. The zoo lady doesn't know that though, so keep that on the D-L. (Down Low)
And this guy might be the cutest thing I've ever seen. He's a Hedgehog, and his cuteness almost made me explode on the spot. He was rad.
But something else super radical happened today! I received.... a package in the mail! A package from @MisterJ984 to be exact. And the contents of the package... Well... Take a look!
That's right! Thanks to that glorious man, I am now the proud owner of a 3DS! Dreams do come true! He also included a very funny and tubular letter. I won't go super into detail about it, but suffice to say that it was very funny, and had a touch of awesomeness to it. He mentioned that he's always been a firm believer of "Paying it forward", pushing kindness out to other people in the hopes that it will spread. And I am more than happy to oblige! I mentioned a while back on Twitter about doing some giveaways, and I still plan on doing them! I have a very special one that's going to be coming up soon, but details on that will come shortly.
Needless to say, it was super magnificent of him to send this to me, and I plan on spreading happiness in whatever way I can, to continue the cycle of joy, and all that good shit.
But first, I need to set up the 3DS and play some GAMES.
2 years ago
RTX 2013 ended a few days ago, and needless to say, it was absolutely amazing. I would love to go into detail about everything, but perhaps that will be in my life memoirs someday, in a place where people would actually care to read that.
You know, if anyone actually cared to read a book about my life.
So, I'll give the short, shoutout to amazing people version.
Shoutout to @BenBen and @Franco for being roomies and rad companions this past week, and for putting up with my 3 am cop-arguing-bullshit! (That story another time)
Shoutout to @tinadayton for being radical all weekend and for sweet hobo-dodging-city-navigation-skills. (Look for the Two Tiny Lemons album dropping soon)
Shoutout to @Ray for various reasons, primarily giving me a bottle of water from his fridge, and helping create The Professor.
Shoutout to @Tora, @Neefertiti, @dracoizumi, @commonmasses, Steven, Julia, Bunny, @Mike, @Dylon, @Andy, Justin, and a couple others who's names I couldn't find/was too lazy to look up, or just completely spaced on, for being radical hangout buddies. (You know who you are, so accept my love and forget that I was too lazy to look up your names <3)
Shoutout to all the cool people I met, including, but not limited to Tim Leftwich, @iSayWhat, Lindsey the
Austrailian Sex Godguardian, @Axialmatt, @BioHRay, and dozens of others. It was radical to meet each and everyone of you in person, and not naked in a Skype call.
Shoutout to everyone who ask me for, and received my autograph. I still think I devalued your things, but hey, as long as your happy. <3
And lastly, shoutout to everyone who came to, or watched the livestream of our BLTTP Panel. It was a huge success, a ton of fun, and honestly some of the most fun I've ever had with a group of people. Thank you all for that
And now for the second part of this journal. As most of you know, I've been absolutely terrible at keeping up with my RT profile, among other things. Well, I'm happy to announce a few changes coming soon. I'll be actually making my own content and throwing things up on my own youtube channel (A post on that soon). I'll be updating here on the site regularly. And, I'll be a lot more active in the community, like how I used to be. I've been going through a lot of changes, as the cliche goes, but I'm on my way back. Expect a lot from me in the coming weeks/months/years, and I'll be here to talk to anyone who wants my yapping.
RTX 2013 was great, and I'm going to strive to keep that feeling going for as long as I can, with as many people as I can.
Seriously, funny?
2 years ago
Okay, so let's cut straight to the point:
I'm doing a project on humor for college, and it would be wonderful if you guys could answer a couple questions as seriously as you can for me
Don't worry about going in depth with this, just go with what you feel. Answer as honestly and naturally as you can. You don't have to write a novel, but a couple sentences per question wouldn't hurt
Cool? Cool. Here you go:
How would you define funny?
What does funny mean to you?
How important do you think humor is on a worldwide scale?
Thanks so much for answering, if you do answer, and if you don't it's cool, I understand; You hate funny.
But seriously, thanks
Happy Today
2 years ago
Today is Rooster Teeth's 10 year anniversary, which is awesome. I've been registered on the site for roughly 2 years, but I've been coming here for over 6 years. I wish I had become a member the second I discovered them, but hey, it's been great nonetheless. I've made plenty of friends, had some good laughs, became a community hunter, became a co host on a podcast, and met people I didn't think would be nearly as nice as they are. All in all, it's been great. Beyond great. I love it. I love all of you
Happy RT Anniversary everyone! A much better holiday than fucking April Fools day.

So I should really post on here every once and a while, if not for myself than for all of you out there.
I like talking with you guys and gals. So lets converse. What's been goin on people?

Royal Bank Of Scotland Confirms $13 Billion Loss
Listen in pop-out player
The Royal Bank of Scotland lost more than $13 billion last year but still paid bonuses. We discuss the rationale behind this move. German Chancellor, Angela Merkel, tells the British Parliament she wants Britain to stay in Europe. Her speech comes as the British Prime Minister, David Cameron, is promising a referendum on whether the country should stay part of the European Union. Conservative MP, Andrea Leadsom, and opposition Labour MP, Keith Vaz, highlight some of the emotive issues surrounding the debate. And Africa's richest man - Aliko Dangote says the future of the continent is the responsibility of Africans.

Baby born on the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway
Chantelle Legrand and Gregory Mars, of Jamaica, were on their way to Plainview hospital early Thursday morning. Legrand was in labor when the couple realized they were going the wrong way. The baby who had started coming was delivered by a police officer in an ambulance on the shoulder of the Seaford-Oyster Bay Expressway. The baby is named Alanai Evelyn and weighed in at 8 lbs and 20 inches. Videojournalist: Chris Ware (March 14, 2013)

If you are on a budget this is the restaurant for you. We usually go to this esp. Their branch in tahanan village because they have other menus serve there that you cant find in the other stores. I usually order their bagnet with unlimited rice.
SEX is one of the old eating places along Presidents' Avenue. Offers cheap Filipino comfort food - tapsilog, longsilog, etc, bangus, taho, garlic rice,..... Quality of food has gone down lately, sorry to say. Service is as can be expected in a cheap eating place; seems to have a high turnover of waiting staff. Some parking is available
no-frills place to get a tapsilog 24 hours a day. Their longganisa (Lucban & Vigan) are just OK. Prices are very affordable as well.
Typical tapsi type of food. Budget friendly, best of all its 24hrs open and conveniently located. Tapsi is my fave here. Salty sweet and garlicky flavor...mmm...it will surely solve ur hunger pangs at d middle of d night.
Its Late night coming from an overtime work?....or you simply want a midnight indulgence, then this restaurant is the best there is offering mostly fried greasy stuff like beef tapa (which looks like corned beef),pork longganisa, paired with fried rice and fried egg...whoah! No wonder pharmaceutical co.(s) producing anti-cholesterol medicines is earning millions! But don't get me wrong its the...
You can't (go wrong with fried rice, tapa and fried egg). That's the whole premise of sinangag express! So, don't expect anything fancy, flavorful or even good service... You simply get what you pay for. It fills your stomach. That's it!
Very affordable price! This is my favorite place for late meals since there are few 24 hour diners in this area and it's less than 10 mins drive from my place. My favorite : Liemsilog.
We always order here for take out especially for a late night meal. I love their Vigan longanisa (although priced at a premium). Their yellow fried rice is always good. We also order fried tofu (tokwa) on the side.
Cheap food that is open 24hours. Most of the people come here for a quick serving of food - takes roughly about 3min and a half (Yes, we timed it way back third quarter of 2011) But its the locals favorite as it serves the most popular dish - the TAPSILOG. They also serve Pares and Chilled Taho which is...
Its cheap, its open 24 hours & the food tastes great. What more can you ask for? Ah yes, the service. The service quality of Sinangag Express or "SEx" as what we southerners call it, is not really consistent, its somewhat okay when there is not a lot of people but it get exponentially worse as the number of diners...

Perhaps the message is that even the greatest leader has his place. He can lead in adversity, but he cannot live your life for you.
The Israelites' great sin, which condemned them to wander for 40 years, was to say, despite having all that they needed, "We're not ready. We can't do it. The challenge is too great."
King led the movement that produced the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965, closing the door on legal discrimination in this country. But more than 40 years later, we still hear, "We're not ready. We can't do it."
Washington lobbyists and special interests are not to blame for single-parent homes, drugs, promiscuity, abortion and sexually transmitted diseases, high-school dropouts and the accompanying poverty. The conditions reflect personal decisions and can only be addressed through personal conviction and resolve.
The Israelites were warned about false prophets. In today's terminology, I'd call this anyone, be it politician or clergyman, who suggests that anyone but you can solve your own problems.
The greatest tribute any American, black or white, can pay to King is to embrace the traditional values and truths critical to live the free life that his work helped make possible.
By so doing, racial politics will finally end and righteousness will flow "like a mighty stream."

National Public Radio China correspondent Gifford journeyed for six weeks on China's Mother Road, Route 312, from its beginning in Shanghai for nearly 3,000 miles to a tiny town in what used to be known as Turkestan. The route picks up the old Silk Road, which runs through the Gobi Desert to Central Asia to Persia and on to Europe. Along the way, Gifford meets entrepreneurs hoping to cash in on China's growing economy, citizens angry and frustrated with government corruption, older people alarmed at changes in Chinese culture and morality, and young people uncertain and excited about the future. Gifford profiles ordinary Chinese people coping with tumultuous change as development and commerce shrink a vast geography, bringing teeming cities and tiny towns into closer commercial and cultural proximity; the lure of wealth is changing the Chinese character and sense of shared experience, even if it was common poverty. Gifford notes an aggressive sense of competition in the man-eat-man atmosphere of a nation that is likely to be the next global superpower. Vanessa Bush

Advance praise for China Road
"How I envy Rob Gifford and his journey along China Road. How grateful I am to him for allowing me to share the trip through his vivid writing and his deep knowledge of and great love for China. As vicarious enjoyment goes, this one's a ten."
–Ted Koppel, managing editor, Discovery Channel
"Rob Gifford has found the perfect road trip. His years in China have given him a keen eye and a deep understanding of the country's contradictions; he's the perfect guide to this magnificent road from Shanghai to the Kazakhstan border."
–Peter Hassler, author of River Town and Oracle Bones
"My gosh, I loved Rob Gifford's book. His journey along Route 312 is a great road story–from Hooters in Shanghai to the Iron House of Confucianism. China Road is insightful, funny, analytical, anecdotal, full of humble humor and magnificent discoveries."
–Scott Simon, host of NPR's Weekend Edition and author of Pretty Birds
"Here is China end to end, told from its equivalent of Route 66 as Gifford journeys from Shanghai to the distant west, talking to truck drivers, merchants, hermits, and whores. Gifford portrays China with affection and humor, in all its complexity, energy, hopefulness, and risk."
–Andrew J. Nathan, Class of 1919 Professor of Political Science, Columbia University
"Equal parts Bill Bryson and Jonathan Spence. Gifford is great company and great fun, and China Road is a terrific, highly readable book."
–Jim Yardley, Pulitzer Prize-winning New York Times Beijing correspondent
"A great book, a terrific read. Rob Gifford's story is as engaging as any travel writing, but it is equally full of historical and philosophical wisdom about the future of the world's largest country."
–Joseph S. Nye, Jr., former assistant secretary of defense, Distinguished Service Professor, Harvard University
"After six years in Beijing, NPR's Rob Gifford has written a wonderfully reflective but also well-informed account of his road trip across China. His knowledge and insight about China's past and present do a marvelous job in helping the reader understand all the challenges that confront this very dynamic country's future."
–Orville Schell, director, the Asia Society's Center on U.S.-China Relations
From the Hardcover edition.

I do not think I spoiled anything. I have a right to an opinion just as you do. My post is real...This guy is going to spend his life feeding these people who "cannot do it themselves" Im sorry...you are just a limp wristed liberal...You like the idea of this guy, but obviously you do not have the "wherewithall" to do it yourself, so you are just spending some time fantacizaing how YOU would feel if you COULD do what he actually does...
Lets see if any of these people help him if he gets sick...I actually am glad that there are people like this in the world...I just think that if a person is so fucking stupid as to eat their own shit, they deserve the ramifications of that action...Even a retard can learm what plants are native to their environment, or can fucking start walking into another place that is not so fucked up. I just dont really have alot of compassion for people who cannot fend for themselves....
Hey, hope you're still reading this thread, because I agree with you.

Thank You, Truth is hard to come by in this "White Guilt Ridden Thread" I cant seem to get the massess off of the idea to give, give, give, without teaching knowledge, survival skills, farming....something, while feeding them, so they can move on, and take care of them selves....giving money, has never solved a thing.

This invention relates to unique and novel blend compounds of an elastomeric polymer and an acrylate or methacrylate polymer. These compounds can also be blended with fillers and/or oils when the sulfonated polymer is elastomeric. The materials display thermoplastic character.
Recently, a new class of thermoelastic sulfonated polymers has been described in a number of U.S. patents. These sulfonated polymers are derived from polymeric materials having olefinic unsaturation, especially elastomeric polymers such as Butyl and EPDM rubbers. U.S. Pat. No. 3,642,728, herein incorporated by reference, clearly teaches a method of selective sulfonation of olefinic unsaturation sites of an elastomeric polymer to form an acid form of a sulfonated elastomeric polymer. The olefinic sites of the elastomeric polymer are sulfonated by means of a complex of a sulfur trioxide donor and a Lewis base. The SO3 H groups of the sulfonated elastomer can be readily neutralized with a basic material to form an ionically cross-linked elastomer at room temperature. However, these ionically cross-linked elastomers may be processed like a conventional thermoplastic at elevated temperatures under a shear force in the presence of selected preferential plasticizers, which dissipate the ionic associations at the elevated temperatures, thereby creating a reprocessable elastomer.
The basic materials used as neutralizing agents are selected from organic amines or basic materials selected from Groups I, II, III, IV, V, VI-B and VIII, and mixtures thereof, of the Periodic Table of Elements.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,836,511, herein incorporated by reference, teaches an improved process for the sulfonation of the olefinic sites of the elastomeric polymer, wherein the improved sulfonating agent is selected from acetyl sulfate, propionyl sulfate and butyryl sulfate. The neutralizing agents employed to neutralize the acid form of the sulfonated elastomeric polymers are organic amines.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,870,841, herein incorporated by reference, teaches a method of plasticization of the polymeric backbone of a neutralized sulfonated plastic polymer by means of a polymer chain plasticizer which is a liquid compound having a boiling point of at least about 120� F. The polymer chain plasticizer is selected from a dialkyl phthalate, a process oil or an organic acid ester. Additionally, a domain plasticizer can be incorporated into the composition, wherein the domain plasticizer reversibly disrupts the association of the sulfonated groups at a temperature of forming.
U.S. Pat. No. 3,847,854, herein incorporated by reference, teaches a method of improving the processability of neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymers by the addition of a preferential plasticizer which has at least one functional constituent which exhibits a bond moment whose absolute value is at least 0.6 Debyes, and must be a liquid at the desired processing temperature of the neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer.
Sulfonated polymers have been shown to display many of the characteristics of a covalently cross-linked elastomer or plastic despite the fact that these materials are only physically cross-linked. Such materials would be especially useful to employ in blend compositions, with a variety of other polymers such as polyvinyl chloride, polyurethanes, polystyrene, "Phenoxy A", polyethylene and similar compositions. However, sulfonated polymers are usually incompatible with such compositions except under unusual circumstances.
This invention is concerned with blend compositions of an acrylate or methacrylate polymer with a new class of polymers based on the chemical combination of sulfonated polymers and an amine-terminated polylactone. As such, these polymers can have many of the physical properties of the base sulfonated polymer (such as Sulfo EPDM) but also derive many of the desirable features of the polylactone (such as poly-ε-caprolactone). Generally, the sulfonated polymer and the lactone polymer are not truly molecularly compatible and; therefore, are phase separated. Due to the fact that the sulfonated polymer is chemically combined with a novel class of amine terminated lactones, (as described in a copending application) the resulting grafted polymer system displays some properties of both polymer phases.
Since the polylactones, such as poly-ε-caprolactone, are widely known for their unique compatibility behavior, this invention permits the preparation of polylactone neutralized sulfonated polymers which are useful in a variety of polymer blends. In the case where Sulfo EPDM is the base sulfonated polymer, the combination with amine-terminated poly-ε-caprolactone provides a "graft" system which can behave as a tough and useful thermoplastic elastomer. Such compositions derive their physical properties, in part, from the ionic interactions, but mostly due to the crystalline caprolactone domains which act as physical cross-links. Such systems can also be modified through the addition of oils and fillers, as in the case for other sulfonated elastomers. The resulting materials can, under appropriate conditions, be melt processable.
This invention is based upon blend compositions of a thermoplastic or elastomeric polymer with an acrylate or methacrylate polymer based on chemically combining a sulfonated polymer and a tertiary amine terminated polylactone composition. The resulting amine neutralized sulfonated polymer compositions have a variety of uses including those as diverse as adhesive agents, thermo-plastic elastomers, additive uses wherein these materials can be utilized to compatibilize two different polymers which are normally incompatible. These compositions can also be blended with fillers and/or oils when the sulfonated polymer is elastomeric. The materials display thermoplastic character.
The neutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymers of this present invention are derived from elastomeric or thermoplastic polymers wherein the elastomeric polymers are derived from unsaturated polymers which include low unsaturated elastomeric polymers such as Butyl rubbers or EPDM terpolymers.
Alternatively, other unsaturated polymers are selected from the group consisting of partially hydrogenated polyisoprenes, partially hydrogenated polyisoprenes, partially hydrogenated polybutadienes, Neoprene, styrene-butadiene copolymers or isoprene-styrene random copolymers.
The expression "Butyl rubber" as employed in the specification and claims, is intended to include copolymers made from a polymerization reaction mixture having therein from 70 to 99.5% by weight of an isoolefin which has about 4 to 7 carbon atoms, e.g. isobutylene and about 0.5 to 30% by weight of a conjugated multiolefin having from about 4 to 14 carbon atoms, e.g. isoprene. The resulting copolymer contains 85 to 99.8% by weight of combined isoolefin and 0.2 to 15% of combined multiolefin.
Butyl rubber generally has a Staudinger molecular weight as measured by GPC of about 20,000 to about 500,000, preferably about 25,000 to about 400,000 especially about 100,000 to about 400,000 and a Wijs Iodine No. of about 0.5 to 50, preferably 1 to 15. The preparation of Butyl rubber is described in U.S. Pat. No. 2,356,128 which is incorporated herein by reference.
For the purposes of this invention, the Butyl rubber may have incorporated therein from about 0.2 to 10% of combined multiolefin; preferably about 0.5 to about 6%; more preferably, about 1 to about 4%, e.g. 2%.
Illustrative of such a Butyl rubber is Exxon Butyl 365 (Exxon Chemical Co.), having a mole percent unsaturation of about 2.0% and a Mooney viscosity (ML, 1+3. 212� F.) of about 40-50.
Low molecular weight Butyl rubbers, i.e. Butyl rubbers having a viscosity average molecular weight of about 5,000 to 85,000 and a mole percent unsaturation of about 1 to about 5% may be sulfonated to produce the polymers useful in this invention. Preferably, these polymers have a viscosity average molecular weight of about 25,000 to about 60,000.
The EPDM terpolymers are low unsaturated polymers having about 1 to about 10.0 wt.% olefinic unsaturation, more preferably about 2 to about 8, most preferably about 3 to 7 defined according to the definition as found in ASTM-D-1418-64 and is intended to mean terpolymers containing ethylene and propylene in the backbone and a diene in the side chain. Illustrative methods for producing these terpolymers are found in U.S. Pat. No. 3,280,082, and French Pat. No. 1,386,600, which are incorporated herein by reference. The preferred polymers contain about 40 to about 75 wt.% ethylene and about 1 to about 10 wt.% of a diene monomer, the balance of the polymer being propylene. Preferably, the polymer contains about 45 to about 70 wt.% ethylene, e.g. 50 wt.% and about 2.6 to about 8.0 wt.% diene monomer, e.g. 5.0 wt.%. The diene monomer is preferably a nonconjugated diene.
Illustrative of these nonconjugated diene monomers which may be used in the terpolymer (EPDM) are 1,4-hexadiene, dicyclopentadiene, 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene, 5-methylene-2-norbornene, 5-propenyl-2-norbornene, and methyl tetrahydroindene.
A typical EPDM is Vistalon 2504 (Exxon Chemical Co.), a terpolymer having a Mooney viscosity (ML, 1+8, 212� F.) of about 40 and having an ethylene content of about 50 wt.% and a 5-ethylidene-2-norbornene content of about 5.0 wt.%. The Mn as measured by GPC of Vistalon 2504 is about 47,000, the Mv as measured by GPC is about 145,000 and the Mw as measured by GPC is about 174,000.
Another EPDM terpolymer Vistalon 2504-20 is derived from Vistalon 2504 (Exxon Chemical Co.) by a controlled extrusion process, wherein the resultant Mooney viscosity at 212� F. is about 20. The Mn as measured by GPC of Vistalon 2504-20 is about 26,000, the Mv as measured by GPC is about 90,000 and the Mw as measured by GPC is about 125,000.
Nordel 1320 (DuPont) is another terpolymer having a Mooney viscosity at 212� F. of about 25 and having about 53 wt.% of ethylene, about 3.5 wt.% of 1,4-hexadiene, and about 43.5 wt.% of propylene.
The EPDM terpolymers of this invention have a number average molecular weight (Mn) as measured by GPC of about 10,000 to about 200,000, more particularly of about 15,000 to about 100,000, most preferably of about 20,000 to about 60,000. The Mooney viscosity (ML, 1+8, 212� F.) of the EPDM terpolymer is about 5 to about 60, more preferably about 10 to about 50, most preferably about 15 to about 40. The Mv as measured by GPC of the EPDM terpolymer is preferably below about 350,000 and more preferably below about 300,000. The Mw as measured by GPC of the EPDM terpolymer is preferably below about 500,000 and more preferably below about 350,000.
In carrying out the invention, the elastomeric polymer is dissolved in a nonreactive solvent such as a chlorinated aliphatic solvent, chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbon, an aromatic hydrocarbon, or an aliphatic hydrocarbon such as carbon tetrachloride, dichloroethane, chlorobenzene, benzene, toluene, xylene, cyclohexane, pentane, isopentane, hexane, isohexane or heptane. The preferred solvents are the lower boiling aliphatic hydrocarbons. A sulfonating agent is added to the solution of the elastomeric polymer and nonreactive solvent at a temperature of about -100� C. to about 100� C. for a period of time of about 1 to about 60 minutes, most preferably at room temperature for about 5 to about 45 minutes; and most preferably about 15 to about 30. Typical sulfonating agents are described in U.S. Pat. Nos. 3,642,728 and 3,836,511, previously incorporated herein by reference. These sulfonating agents are selected from an acyl sulfate, a mixture of sulfuric acid and an acid anhydride or a complex of a sulfur trioxide donor and a Lewis base containing oxygen, sulfur, or phosphorous. Typical sulfur trioxide donors are SO3, chlorosulfonic acid, fluorosulfonic acid, sulfuric acid, oleum, etc. Typical Lewis bases are: dioxane, tetrahydrofuran, tetrahydrothiophene or triethyl phosphate. The most preferred sulfonation agent for this invention is an acyl sulfate selected from the group consisting essentially of benzoyl, acetyl, propionyl or butyryl sulfate. The acyl sulfate can be formed in situ in the reaction medium or pregenerated before its addition to the reaction medium in a chlorinated aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon.
It should be pointed out that neither the sulfonating agent nor the manner of sulfonation is critical, provided that the sulfonating method does not degrade the polymer backbone. The reaction is quenched with an aliphatic alcohol such as methanol, ethanol or isopropanol, with an aromatic hydroxyl compound, such as phenol, a cycloaliphatic alcohol such as cyclohexanol or with water. The unneutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer has about 10 to about 200 meq unneutralized sulfonate groups per 100 grams of sulfonated polymer, more preferably about 15 to about 100; and most preferably about 20 to about 80. The meq. of unneutralized sulfonate groups per 100 grams of polymer is determined by both titration of the polymeric sulfonic acid and Dietert Sulfur analysis. In the titration of the sulfonic acid, the polymer is dissolved in solvent consisting of 95 parts of toluene and 5 parts of methanol at a concentration level of 50 grams per liter of solvent. The unneutralized form is titrated with ethanolic sodium hydroxide to an Alizarin-Thymolphthalein endpoint.
The unneutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer is gel free and hydrolytically stable. Gel is measured by stirring a given weight of polymer in a solvent comprised of 95 toluene-5-methanol at a concentration of 5 wt.%, for 24 hours, allowing the mixture to settle, withdrawing a weighed sample of the supernatant solution and evaporating to dryness.
Hydrolytically stable means that the acid function, in this case the sulfonic acid, will not be eliminated under neutral or slightly basic conditions to a neutral moiety which is incapable of being converted to highly ionic functionality.
Neutralization of the unneutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer is done by the addition of a solution of a polycaprolactone polymer to the unneutralized sulfonated elastomeric polymer typically dissolved in the mixture of the aliphatic alcohol and nonreactive solvent. The polycaprolactone polymer is dissolved in a solvent system consisting of toluene, optionally containing an aliphatic alcohol. These polycaprolactone polymers are formed by the reaction of ε-caprolactone with an organic diamine in the presence of a catalyst as described in a copending application. The anhydrous ε-caprolactone and the organic diamine in the presence of the catalyst are reacted together in a reaction vessel in the absence of a solvent at a temperature of about 50� to about 200� C., more preferably about 75� to about 180� and most preferably about 90� to about 100� C. for a sufficient period of time to effect polymerization.
The reaction of the ε-caprolactone with the diamine can be generally depicted by the equation ##STR1## wherein n=1 to 500, m=1 to 20, R1 or R2 are selected from the group consisting of alkyl and cycloalkyl groups having about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, more preferably about 1 to about 12 carbon atoms, and aryl groups, and R3 is selected from the group consisting of hydrogen, alkyl and cycloalkyl groups having about 1 to about 20 carbon atoms, more preferably about 1 to about 12, and aryl groups and R4 and R5 are hydrogen, alkyl, cycloalkyl or aryl groups. Typical, but nonlimiting, examples of useful diamines are: ##STR2##
Catalysts useful in the promotion of the above-identified reaction are selected from the group consisting of stannous octanoate stannous hexanoate, stannous oxalate, tetrabutyl titanate, a variety of metal organic based catalysts, acid catalysts and amine catalysts, as described on page 266, and forwarded in a book chapter authored by R. D. Lundberg and E. F. Cox, entitled Kinetics and Mechanisms of Polymerization: Ring Opening Polymerization; edited by Frisch and Rugen, published by Marcell Dekker in 1969, wherein stannous octanoate is an especially preferred catalyst. The catalyst is added to the reaction mixture at a concentration level of about 100 to about 10,000 parts of catalyst per 1 million parts of ε-caprolactone.
The resultant polycaprolactone polymer has an Mn as measured by GPC of about 200 to about 50,000 more preferably about 500 to about 40,000, and most preferably about 700 to about 30,000 and a melting point from below room temperature to about 55� C., more preferably about 20� C. to about 52� C., and most preferably about 20� C. to about 50� C.
The metal sulfonate-containing polymers at the higher sulfonate levels possess extremely high melt viscosities and are thereby difficult to process. The addition of ionic group plasticizers markedly reduces melt viscosity and frequently enhances physical properties.
To the neutralized sulfonated polymer is added, in either solution or to the crumb of the unneutralized form of the sulfonated polymer, a preferential plasticizer selected from the group consisting of carboxylic acids having about 5 to about 30 carbon atoms, more preferably about 8 to about 22 carbon atoms, or basic salts of these carboxylic acids, wherein the metal ion of the basic salt is selected from the group consisting of aluminum, ammonium, lead or Groups I-A, II-A, I-B and II-B of the Periodic Table of Elements, and mixtures thereof. The carboxylic acids are selected from the group consisting of lauric, myristic, palmitic or stearic acids and mixtures thereof; e.g. zinc stearate, magnesium stearate, or zinc laurate.
The preferential plasticizer is incorporated into the neutralized sulfonated polymer at less than about 60 parts by weight per 100 parts of the sulfonated polymer more preferably at about 5 to about 40, and most preferably at about 7 to about 25. Alternatively, other preferential plasticizers are selected from ureas, thioureas, amines, amides, ammonium and amine salts of carboxylic acids and mixtures thereof. The preferred plasticizers are selected from fatty acid or metallic salts of fatty acid and mixtures thereof. The resultant neutralized sulfonated polymer with preferential plasticizer is isolated from the solution by conventional steam stripping and filtration.
The ingredients incorporated into the blend compositions of the present invention, in conjunction with the type of elastomeric polymer, the degree of sulfonation, and the metal counterion of the neutralized sulfonated polymer and the plasticizer give materials processable by extrusion or injection molding processes into elastomeric articles having the desirable physical and rheological properties. These combined physical properties and rheological processability characteristics were not previously obtainable in the aforementioned U.S. patents and applications previously incorporated herein by reference.
The polymer compositions prepared according to this invention cover a variety of new systems and applications. For example, Sulfo EPDM neutralized with tertiary amine terminated poly-ε-caprolactone can possess a variety of properties depending on sulfonic acid content and poly-ε-caprolactone (or PCL) molecular weight. Thus, a high molecular weight PCL (for example, a number average molecular weight of 10,000) coupled with Sulfo EPDM of 30 milliequivalents per 100 grams sulfonic acid content would require about 300 grams of PCL per 100 grams of Sulfo EPDM to effect neutralization. Such a composition, therefore, would be about 75 percent PCL. On the otherhand, the use of a PCL polymer of 1,000 molecular weight would result in a neutralized graft ionomer of about 23 percent PCL. The physical properties of these two compositions will obviously vary substantially, depending on the compositions.
The application to which these novel polymers can be put to use is varied. The PCL/Sulfo EPDM grafts are useful as thermoplastic elastomers, potential adhesives and an approach to compatibilize normally incompatible polymers such as acrylate or methacrylate polymers.
Other types of polymer sulfonic acids suitable in this invention include sulfonated polybutadiene, sulfonated polyisoprene, sulfonated Butyl, sulfonated SBR, sulfonated polypentenomer, etc. Of special interest are polymers with terminal unsaturation such as polyisobutylene. Typically, this polymer is terminated with an olefin group which can be sulfonated to provide a long chain polyisobutylene of from 500 to 25,000 in molecular weight. Sulfonation of this functionality provides a polymer with a sulfonic acid group at just one end, and which can then be neutralized to provide a polyisobutylene/PCL block copolymer composed of just two blocks.
The neutralized sulfonated polymers are useful in forming blend compounds having improved impact characteristics with acrylate and methacrylate polymers like methylacrylate, ethylacrylate, butylacrylate, methylmethacrylate, ethylmethacrylate or butylmethacrylate.
Unless otherwise specified, all measurements are in parts by weight per 100 parts of sulfonated polymer.
3.5 g (1 meq.) of a sulfonated EPDM (based on EPDM of 50 percent ethylene, 45 percent propylene and 5 percent ENB, sulfonated with acetyl sulfate in situ, as described in U.S. Pat. No. 4,221,712 and related cases, isolated in methanol as the acid form, and dried in a vacuum oven at ˜35� C.) containing 29.0 meq. of sulfur per 100 g of polymer, as determined by elemental analysis, was dissolved in 66.5 g toluene overnight to give a 5.0 weight percent solution.
2.1 g (1 meq.) of an N,N-dimethyl-1,3-propane diamine terminated polycaprolactone MW 2,100 %N=1.314�0.005 percent prepared as described in a copending application (Case No. C-1185), was dissolved in 18.9 g of toluene to give a 10.0 weight percent solution. This solution was then added to the highly viscous EPDM polymer sulfonic acid solution prepared above.
Films were cast from the solution of neutralized polymer acid onto Teflon coated aluminum foil. The solvent was removed by evaporation at ambient conditions. The resultant films were a slightly hazy yellow and showed no visible signs of phase separation. The resulting films appeared to be tough and flexible with no evidence of incompatibility.
Thermal mechanical analysis conducted on the polymer sample revealed a major transition at about -65� C. (EPDM Tg) and a second transition at about 38� C., identified as the crystalline melting point for the polycaprolactone phase.
On a two roll mill at 130� C., the following blend compositions as illustrated in Table II were made by fluxing the neutralized sulfonated polymer with a methylmethacrylate polymer.
