BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 
     This invention relates to the art of polysulfide and urethane polymers, processes for their preparation and cure and methods for their use. 
     The high molecular weight polysulfide polymers prepared in the known commercial polysulfide polymer synthesis bear hydroxyl chain terminals. When these high molecular weight polymers are chemically split to form lower molecular weight solids or liquid polysulfide polymers, the resultant macromolecules are thiol terminated. These materials, using presently available cure methods, are quite satisfactory and are commercially successful. Alternative cure methods continue to be of interest because such alternative cures hold the potential for even better properties and new uses for the novel products produced thereby. The introduction during the initial polysulfide polymer condensation of variously functionized monomers so as to produce moderate molecular weight products amenable to alternative cures has been explored previously. The introduction of unsaturation, hydroxyl, carboxyl, alkylamino, amide and aldehyde functions has been examined. The cure of the hydroxyl or unsaturation containing polymers has not proven commercially practical. The other groups are reactive with sodium polysulfide and the conditions of the initial polysulfide condensation reaction cause their loss. No direct method of splitting the initially formed, very high molecular weight polysulfide polymers to lower molecular weight products having other than thiol terminals has previously been demonstrated as practical. 
     Several methods of converting hydroxyl or thiol terminated polysulfide polymers to amine terminated polysulfide polymers which may then be reacted with epoxy polymers to form cured solid resins have been proposed. U.S. Pat. No. 3,322,851 illustrates the preparation of compounds of the formula 
     
         R&#39;--L--(RSS).sub.x --R--L--R&#34; 
    
     wherein L is --O--or --S--; R&#39; and R&#34; are the specific alkylamino groups ##STR1## z being selected from 0, 1, 2, 3 or 4; R iii  and R iv  being the same or different and being radicals selected from hydrogen, normal and branched alkyl and substituted or unsubstituted aromatic radicals; x is a positive number greater than 1; and R is an intervening polyvalent organic radical. Here the alkyl amine functionality is introduced subsequent to the polysulfide condensation reaction and any desired molecular weight adjustments. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 3,331,816 illustrates the preparation of alkylamino terminated polysulfide polymers of the formula: 
     
         (R.sup.i --L).sub.y (RSS).sub.x (R--L--R.sup.ii).sub.z 
    
     wherein L is --O-- or --S-- and wherein R i  and R ii  are the azomethino amino groups ##STR2## wherein R c  is an alkylene group having up to 6 carbon atoms, d is an integer selected from 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5; y and z are selected from 1, 2, 3 and 4; R a  and R b  are the same or different and are radicals chosen from the group hydrogen, normal and branched alkyl having up to 6 carbon atoms and substituted to unsubstituted alkylene-aromatic, aromatic and alicyclic radical, R is an intervening group selected from the class of intervening groups shown in U.S. Pat. No. 3,335,201, Tables I and II; and x is a positive number greater than 1. Here again, the amino terminals are introduced subsequent to the initial polysulfide synthesis and desired molecular weight adjustment. 
     U.S. Pat. No. 3,335,201 also illustrates amino terminated polysulfides of the structure: 
     
         (R.sup.i --L).sub.y (RSS).sub.x (R-L-R.sup.ii).sub.z 
    
     wherein L is --O-- or --S-- and wherein R i  and R ii  are the phenol amino groups: ##STR3## wherein M, N* and Q may be hydrogen, lower alkyl, and lower alkyl ether or thio ether groups, w is an integer that is one of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6; y and z being one of 1, 2, 3 and 4; R iii  and R iv  are the same or different and are chosen from the group consisting of normal and branched alkyl radicals, alkyl ether or thio ether radicals, and substituted and unsubstituted aromatic and alicyclic radicals; x is a positive number greater than 1 and R is an intervening polyvalent organic radical. The teachings of the specification indicate that benzyl or phenyl alkylene amines are intended by including aromatic moieties among the possible identities of R iii  and R iv . In this patent, also, introduction of the amine terminals is after the polysulfide condensation and any desired molecular weight adjustments. It will be noted that the structure of all the above suggested amine terminals is significantly different from those of Applicant&#39;s instant invention. In addition, it is noted that all the above compositions are cured with epoxy type cures. As the above compositions are all alkyl amine terminated, they would not suggest themselves as useful curing agents in the urethane art. While alkyl amine compounds are useful catalysts in urethane cures, their high reactivity and consequent short &#34;pot life&#34; renders them generally not useful as urethane cure agents per se. 
     The reaction of liquid thiol terminated polysulfide polymers with isocyanates is well known. British Patent 1,475,115 and the publication Modification of Urethane Thermo Elastomers by Polysulfide Polymers by Cherkasova et al in Sintez i Fiziko-Khimiya Polimerov, Vol. 19, pages 72-76, 1976 are recent examples. Other patents concerning mercaptan containing polyurethane compositions and curable liquid polythiopolymercaptanpolyurethane polymers are U.S. Pat. No. 3,446,780 and 3,440,273. (Copies of the patents and of a translation of the publication accompany this application.) 
     The present invention provides methods of producing aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymers in either liquid or solid form either by direct synthesis or by conversion of a previously synthesized hydroxyl terminated high molecular weight polysulfide polymer without requiring a separate molecular weight adjustment step.

     DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT 
     The manner of making and using the compositions of the invention will now be described with reference to specific embodiments thereof, namely, a liquid aminophenol terminated polysulfide polymer based on bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal, having an average sulfur linkage rank of 2.25 and an average molecular weight exclusive of arylamine terminals of about 2000 (IX), a compound of formula I wherein Y is --S x  --Ar--(NH 2 ) a  ; a liquid thiol terminated polysulfide urethane block copolymer (X) of the formula: ##STR8## wherein x&#39; is about 2.25; j and k together are sufficient to give the polysulfide portion of the molecule outside the bracketed portion a molecular weight of about 4000; bonding to the tolylene moiety is at the 2, 4 or 2, 6 position; and R&#34; is --CH 2  CH 2  --OCH 2  O--CH 2  CH 2  --, a compound of formula III; and a compound of the formula XI: ##STR9## wherein x&#39; is about 2.25; l is sufficient to give an average weight of about 2000 atomic weight units to the molecular backbone portion between the terminal units which commence with the phenylene moieties; bonding to the tolylene moieties is at the 2, 4 or 2, 6 positions; and R&#34; is --CH 2  CH 2  --OCH 2  O--CH 2  CH 2  --, a compound of formula II. 
     To prepare IX, bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal may be treated with sodium polysulfide at elevated temperatures, conveniently from slightly above room temperature to about 90° C., preferably about 85° C., in a polar solvent, conveniently water, in the presence of strong base, conveniently sodium hydroxide, and in the presence of sufficient soluble magnesium salt to precipitate magnesium hydroxide for nucleating curd formation in the polysulfide latex and an alkyl aryl sulfonate dispersing agent, over a short period of time, conveniently about one hour, to form a latex. The latex so formed may then be coagulated and solids separated from the liquid reaction medium by settling and decantation of the supernatant liquid. The solid residue may be then washed with portions of water until free of sulfide reaction with lead acetate test paper. The washed latex suspended in a suitable reaction medium, conveniently water, may be treated with diamino diphenyl disulfide (VIIa), conveniently with the aid of a miscible solvent in which the diamino diphenyl disulfide is dissolved, such as methanol, and addition of such solution to the latex suspension at temperatures which may vary from room temperature to about 80° C. during the mixing process and then, conveniently, at about 80° C., although one skilled in the art will recognize that the exact temperature is not particularly critical, until a sample of the reaction mixture shows the separation of a second liquid phase with no residual solid upon acidification, conveniently with acetic acid. If desired, the aryl amine terminated polymer (IX) may be treated with a stoichiometric quantity of toluene diisocyanate (VIIIa), that is, 1 isocyanate to 1 amine to prepare a high molecular weight chain extended polymer which may then be split at the disulfide linkages in the usual fashion by treatment with NaSH and Na 2  SO 3  to prepare X. If desired, X may also be prepared starting from a liquid thiol terminated polysulfide polymer (XII) having the dichloroethyl formal based backbone. XII may be treated with (VIIa) in a fashion similar to that described for the preparation of IX, conveniently in this instance, the ratio of diamino diphenyl disulfide to thiol groups will be 1:2, although it may be greater whole number multiples, if lower molecular weight fragments are desired. The resultant product of this treatment (XIII) will be a compound of formula I wherein Y is SH. XIII may be treated with VIIIa at a 1:1 isocyanate to amine ratio to prepare X. 
     To prepare XI, IX may be treated with VIIIa at about a 2:1 isocyanate to amine group ratio. The reactions herein, unless otherwise specified, may be performed neat or in the presence of suitable inert solvents or suspending agents for one or more of the reactants. The temperature in most cases is also not especially critical and unless otherwise specified, they may be performed at room temperature or at temperatures slightly elevated above that point. In most illustrative examples, it will be understood that solvents, temperatures and reaction times are illustrative and that their variation will be well within the skill of the ordinary chemist. One of skill in the art will also recognize that in addition to the diamino diphenyl disulfide illustrated for the preparation of IX and the various reaction products thereof, one may substitute other amino substituted diaryl disulfides and obtain analogous compounds of formula I. These compounds obviously may then be converted by processes analogous to those described herein to prepare compounds of formula II or III. Similarly, one skilled in the art will recognize that in the reaction of initially formed high molecular weight polysulfide polymer with diamino diphenyl disulfide varying the relative proportions of diamino diphenyl disulfide, or, for that matter, any of the diaryl amino disulfides to that of the polysulfide polymer, will permit control of the molecular weight of the aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymer so produced. 
     It will also be obvious to one of skill in the art that in addition to the toluene diisocyanate VIIIa illustrated for the preparation of compounds X and XI, other monomeric isocyanates or polyurethane prepolymers having at least 2 free isocyanate functionalities may be employed to prepare analogous compound formulas II and III. 
     Similarly, it will be obvious that compounds of formula II wherein Z is ##STR10## may be prepared by treating compounds of formula I wherein Y is SH with a suitable diisocyanate with a proportion of about 2--NCO groups to the total --NH 2  and --SH group content. 
     An alternative synthesis of compounds of formula I wherein Y is --S x  --Ar (NH 2 ) a  is to introduce a compound of the formula IV in a standard polysulfide polymer synthesis. It is readily apparent that IV will act as a chain stopper. Surprisingly the excess inorganic polysulfide always present in such synthesis as it is required to attain high molecular weight appears to serve as a reductant to the nitro chain terminals, reducing them to amino groups. That reduction does not occur prior to introduction of the residue of IV as a chain terminal is further evidenced by the observation that p-chloroaniline does not introduce aminophenyl terminals if employed in analogous fashion to IV. Control of the ratio of compound IV to compound V will obviously allow statistical control of the molecular weight of the polymer formed. Obviously, in a variant of this synthesis, the aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymer so formed may be split with NaSH and Na 2  SO 3 , or their equivalents, to produce compounds of formula I wherein Y is --SH. 
     One skilled in the art will also recognize that in another variant of this synthesis; the aryl amine terminated polymer so formed may be treated, conveniently at elevated temperature, preferably, but not critically, at about 90° C., with a conventional liquid thiol terminated polysulfide polymer, conveniently of about the same average molecular weight, to prepare compounds of Formula I wherein Y is --SH. 
     In the processes for the use of the compounds of the invention, standard methods of compounding, if desired, and of application and cure are contemplated. If desired, sealant composition, either 2 part using separately packaged curing agents, or 1 part using blocked, dormant, sequestered or encapsulated curing agents may be compounded employing known fillers, plasticizers, adhesive additives, U.V. stabilizers and the like. Application of the sealant to the desired substrate may be by standard methods as by extrusion from an applicator gun after mixing of the 2 part sealant with curing agent or activation of cure agent if necessary for the 1 part sealant. Or, if desired, the 1 part sealant cure may be activated after or during application as by known heat and/or moisture cures. Cast or molded objects may obviously be formed by pouring or injecting the compositions including any desired fillers, plasticizers or other adjuvants and allowing cure to take place. Conventional polysulfide and/or urethane processing techniques may be employed to produce rigid or flexible foams as well as rigid or elastomeric solids. Reaction injection molding and linear injection molding as conventionally understood are contemplated among the processes which may be employed. Coated objects may also be prepared by standard techniques as, for example, through the use of a roller coater, a curtain coater or application by brush. The choice of curing agent will obviously depend on the nature of the terminal groups. NH 2  and SH terminated polymers may be cured using polyfunctional compounds reactive with Zerewitinoff active hydrogen, such as epoxy compounds, polyisocyanates, poly basic acids or poly basic acid anhydrides or poly basic aryl halides and the like, polymers with isocyanate functionality will obviously be curable with standard polyurethane prepolymer cures employing commonly polyols and/or polyamines with or without catalysis. Polymers with --SH terminals may be cured employing standard oxidative polysulfide polymer cure systems as, for example, PbO 2  or ZnO 2  and the like.

     EXAMPLE I 
     Preparation of Polysulfide Polymer Latex With Sulfur Rank of about 2.25 
     Neutral sodium polysulfide solution (2.43 molar, 2139.9 ml, 5.2 moles), sodium hydroxide solution (50% wt/wt, 25.6 g, 0.32 mole) and nekal BK (alkyl sulfonate, 5% aqueous solution, 20.0 g) are heated to about 85° C. under a nitrogen atmosphere. Aqueous magnesium chloride (25% MgCl 2 .6H 2  O, 0.16 mole, 130 g) is added and bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal (720.0 g, 4.0 moles) is added over a period of 1 hour while the temperature is held at about 84° C. to about 87° C. after which the mixture is held at about 100° C. for an additional hour while the N 2  blanket is maintained. The reaction mixture is then allowed to cool to room temperature, and the solids permitted to settle. After decantation of the supernatant liquid, the solids are washed by decantation until the wash water gives a negative lead acetate test to give the title product 668 grams. A dried filter cake of the latex gives the following results: 
     Analysis for Sulfur=38.76% 
     Sulfur Rank=2.16 
     ASTM D2240 Hardness (Shore A)=27 reaching 20 in 2 seconds 
     EXAMPLE 2 
     Reaction of Polysulfide Polymer Latex of Example 1 with Diaminodiphenyl Disulfide and Subsequent Reaction With Toluene Diisocyanate 
     A. To the latex product of Example 1 (36.1% Solids, 277.0 g [100 g dry]) is added 6.23 g diamino diphenyl disulfide as a powder. The mixture is heated under nitrogen at about 95° C. for about 7 hours, allowed to stand overnight at room temperature and then treated for an additional 8 hours at about 95° C., then allowed to cool and stand at room temperature for about 72 hours. An aliquot sample is taken and made acid by addition of acetic acid. A second liquid phase separates indicating that splitting of the high molecular weight polymer chains has occurred. Toluene diisocyanate (4.36 g) is added to the reaction mixture and the reaction allowed to proceed 4 hours at room temperature. During this time an exotherm from 23° to 26.5° C. occurs. Acidification of a sample produces a crumb-like solid precipitate indicating reaction back to a high molecular weight polymer. Durometer readings on solid material are variable but over 60 Shore A. 
     B. To the product latex from Example 1 (36.1% Solids, 277.0 g [100.0 g dry]) is added diamino diphenyl disulfide (6.23 g) in toluene (50 g). The mixture is heated under a nitrogen blanket at about 78° C. for about 6 hours, allowed to cool and stand at room temperature overnight, heated for an additional 8 hours at about 80° C., allowed to cool and sampled. Acidification of the sample with acetic acid causes separation of a second liquid phase indicating that the original high molecular weight polymer has been split to a lower molecular weight. Toluene diisocyanate (Hylene™, Du Pont) is added to the remaining reaction mixture. Reaction is allowed to proceed for about 4 hours. During this time, a slow exotherm from 24° C. to 26° C. occurs. Acidification of a sample gives a solid crumb precipitate indicating chain extension to a high molecular weight. After removing the majority of toluene by distillation and washing the solid latex with water, a durometer reading is made on a cake held at 100° C. overnight. The cake has a Shore A hardness of 55 dropping to 50 in 2 seconds. 
     EXAMPLE 3 
     Preparation of and Splitting of Polysulfide Latex with Diamino Diphenyl Disulfide and Reaction of the Low Molecular Weight Product with Toluene Diisocyanate 
     Following a procedure analogous to that of Example 1 but adding additional free sulfur to adjust the rank of the starting polysulfide solution to 2.25, there is prepared a rank 2.14 polysulfide latex which is held at 100° C. to &#34;toughen&#34; the polymer. The durometer hardness of a sample prepared from the latex is 50 Shore A. 
     To this latex (33.6% Solids, 2381 g [800 g dry]) there is added diaminophenyl disulfide (49.84 g, 1 mole per 22 segment weights of polymer so as to split to average 4000 M. Wt. segments) in absolute methanol (720 g) over a 32 minute period during which time the reaction mixture is heated from an initial 25° C. up to reflux temperature. The reaction is held at reflux for about 4 hours, allowed to cool and settle and the residue washed with water 5 times by decantation. A sample (115.05 g dry) is washed 10 additional times by the same technique, then treated with toluene diisocyanate (4.66 g). After 4 hours, hardness on a sample of the reaction is 68 (Shore A). The remaining latex from the diamino diphenyl disulfide reaction is acidified with acetic acid and washed to about neutrality. The product obtained is a liquid (719.2 g) viscosity=2220.0 poises. 
     EXAMPLE 4 
     Preparation of Rank 2.25 Latex, Stripping to Rank 2.0 Followed by Conversion to Amine Terminated Liquid Polymer 
     Following a procedure analogous to that of Examples 1 and 3, a 2.18 rank polysulfide latex is prepared from Na 2  S 2.25 (4.2 moles) Na 2  S (2.3 moles) Sulfur (2.9 moles) and bis (dichloroethyl) formal (5.0 moles) and washed free of sulfide ion to lead acetate. To the latex at 85° C. is added 200 g Na 2  SO 3  and the mixture is held at 85° C. for 1 hour. The stripped latex is then washed by decantation. The sulfur rank found is 1.90. Hardness of cakes prepared from the latex both before and after stripping is 50 Shore A. The latex itself is 33.6% solids. 
     To the latex (2244.0 g, 754.0 g dry) is added diamino diphenyl disulfide (47.0 g) in methanol (679 g) over a period of 30 minutes while the reaction mixture is being warmed to reflux. Reflux is maintained for 4 hours. At the end of this time, the reaction misture is allowed to cool and is divided into 2 portions. The first portion, part A, is washed twice be decantation then acidified with acetic acid. The lower layer organic phase which separates is washed 10 times with about equal volume portions or water. Following washing the organic phase is heated in a rotary evaporator at about 85° C. until a constant 1-2 mm Hg vacuum is reached. Viscosity=2300 poises at 25° C., %N=0.44% 500 g removed from the original stripped latex, part B, is washed 10 times by decantation with approximately equal volumes of water. Dry solids at this point=127.7 g. 
     The washed latex is treated at 23° to 26° C. with 5.2 g toluene diisocyanate. Hardness of a sample &#34;cake&#34; from the reaction is 70 Shore &#34;A&#34;. % Sulfur found is 34.33%. 
     EXAMPLE 5 
     Introduction of Aryl Amine Terminals Simultaneously With Polysulfide Polymer Synthesis 
     To a mixture of Na 2  S.9H 2  O (1372.8 g), sulfur (228.6 g) and water (110 g) which has been warmed to 75° C. and held at that temperature for about 1/2 hour under a nitrogen blanket is added NaOH (50% w/w in water, 25.6 g) and a sodium alkyl sulfonate (Nekal BX, 20.0 g) after which the mixture is warmed to 85° C. and MgCl 2 .6H 2  O (130.1 g) and p-chloronitrobenzene (54.2 g) are added. A slight warming to 95° C. occurs. When the reaction mixture has again been stabilized at 85° C. bis-(2 chloroethyl) formal (720.0 g) is added over a period of one hour. After all the formal has been added the reaction is held at 100° C. for 7 hours while sampling every hour including O time for 3 hours then at 5 and 7 hours. Each sample and the final batch of latex is washed clean of sulfide (lead acetate test) a portion of the final washed latex is reserved for reaction with toluene diisocyanate. Each sample and the remainder of the main batch of latex are acidified with 50% aqueous acetic acid then washed free of acid by decantation and dried under vacuum. Viscosity at 25° C.=4700 poise. 
     The portion of the latex reserved for reaction with toluene diisocyanate (60.7 g dry solids) is treated with toluene diisocyanate (2.4 g) for 4 hours at about 22° to 24° C. A durometer hardness cake is then prepared and dried overnight at 70° C. A solid tough rubber is obtained of 60 Shore A hardness. % Sulfur=35.5%. 
     The washed liquid polymer (20.0 g) from the major portion of the latex is treated with toluene diisocyanate (0.824 g) at room temperature then the mixture is divided into 2 parts. 1 part is cured at room temperature (23° C.), the other is held at 100° C. The room temperature sample is soft cured at 1 hour with a durometer of 35 Shore A falling to 26 in 2 seconds after 24 hours and 52 Shore A falling to 47 after 7 days at room temperature. After 16 hours at 100° C. that sample has a hardness of 67 Shore A.

The reaction mixture is cooled to 85° C. and bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal (2.0 moles, 360.0 g) is added over a 1 hour period while the temperature is maintained at 85°-90° C. After all the bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal has been added, the reaction mixture is warmed to 100° C. and held at that temperature for about 6 hours. After cooling, the latex is allowed to settle and the precipitate is washed 6 times with about 2 liter portions of fresh water by decantation. The wash water on the 5th wash is acidified with 50% acetic acid to a pH of between 5 and 6. After washing, the precipitate is dried on a rotary evaporator at 0.25 mm Hg and 90° C. max temperature to give a liquid residue 360.4 g, viscosity 1512.0 poises, N (as amine N)=0.78%-M.Wt. 4102.6.

     EXAMPLE 18 
     Preparation of Aryl Amine Terminated Liquid Polymer of About 4000 Molecular Weight followed by Disulfide-Mercaptan Group Interchange Resulting in Polymer Having both Thiol and Aryl Amine Terminals 
     A 100 grams of aryl amine liquid polymer made by the process described in example 8 is mixed with 100 grams of 4000 molecular weight polysulfide liquid polymer with all thiol terminals and having 0.5% crosslinking. This results in a homogeneous solution of one polymer in the other which then is heated to 90° C. and is held at that temperature for 10 hours. This treatment results in an interchange of terminal thiol groups with polysulfide groups along the chain forming new polymeric molecules with an average of one thiol terminal and one aryl amine terminal. About 200 grams of product is obtained. 
     When a sample of this product is treated with PbO 2  the liquid polymer becomes more viscous but does not cure. Analysis for thiol and aryl amine groups shows that practically no thiol groups are present and that the calculated amount of aryl amine groups are still substantially present as the only polymer terminals. When a stoichiometric quantity of toluene diisocyanate is added corresponding to the aryl amine groups the polymer solidifies to a soft solid in about two hours at room temperature. 
     EXAMPLE 19 
     Preparation of Amine Terminated Polysulfide Polymers Employing Benzothiazole as a Precursor for the Terminals 
     Following a procedure analogous to that of Example 5 there is obtained from 1.30 moles of 2.0 molar aqueous Na 2  S 2 .25 solution, 0.10 moles benzothiazole and 1.0 mole bis-(2-chloroethyl) formal (added at 95° C. to 100° C.) the title product as a clear liquid having about 1.4% nitrogen content and having an amino content closely corresponding to the total nitrogen content.
Fully and partially aryl amine terminated polysulfide polymers and processes for their preparation and use are disclosed. The fully aryl amine terminated products are curable with isocyanates to high molecular weight polymers and are thus useful in molding and casting as well as in sealants. The partially aryl amine terminated polymers may be further reacted with polyisocyanates to form thiol terminated polysulfide polymers containing urea chain segments. These compounds are curable in the fashion of standard polysulfide polymers to form firmer polymers. The partially aryl amine terminated polymers may be also chain extended with isocyanate terminated urethane prepolymers. These block copolymers may be cured by standard SH terminated polysulfide polymer cure methods to prepare sealants of exceptional resiliency and weather resistance.
