The present invention relates to hydrogenated nitrite rubbEr polymers having lower molecular weights and narrower molecular weight distributions than those known in the art.
Background of the Inventlan Hydrogenated nitrite rubber (HNBR), prepared by the selective hydrogenation of acrylonitril~-butadiene rubber (nitrite rubber; NSR), is a specialty rubber which has very ~ood heat resistance, excellent ozone and chemical resistance, and excellent oil resistance. Coupled with the high level of mechanical properties of the rubber (in particular the high resistance to abrasion) it is not surprising that HNBR has found widespread use in the automotive (seals, hoses, bearing pads) ail (stators, well head seals, valve plates), electricai (cable sheathing), mechanical engineering (wheeis, rollers) and shipbuilding (pipe seals, couplings) industries, amongst others.
Commercially available HNBR has a Mooney viscosity in the range of from about 55 to about 105, a molecular weight in the range of from about 20x,000 to about 2o b00,b0b, a polydiaporsity greater than 3.0 end a residual double bond (RDB) content in the range of from about 1 to about 18°~ (by IR spectroscopy).
One limitation in processing HNBR is the relatively high Mooney Viscosity. In principle, HNBR having a lower molecular weight and lower Moaney viscosity would have belt~r proeessability. Attempts have been made to reduce the molecular weight of the polymer by mastication (mechanical breaiidowrr)-~rnd b~rz:hetiticr~rrt~arrs-(fQr w--example, using strong acid), but such methods have the disadvantages that they result in the introduction of functional groups (such as carboxylic acid and ester groups) into the polymer, and the altering of the microstructure of the polymer. This results in unacveptabie ~ ;n the ~raperti~ea ~ the poiymar. in additloa. these types ~f approaches, by their very nature, produce polymers having a broad molecular weight distribution.

JUN-12-01 15:18 From:BAYER SARNIA PATENT DEPT +519-339-1523 T-809 P.O6/18 Job-The discovery that certain metal-alkylidene complexes are capable of catalyzing the metathesis of olefins triggered the development of a new generation of well-defined, highly active, single-site catalysts, Qrx~ongst these, hisr(tricyclohexylphosphir~~x)-benzylidene ruthenium dichloride (commonly know as Grubb's catalyst) has been widely used, due to its remarKable insensitivity to air and moisture and high tolerance towards various functional groups. Unlike the molybdenum-based me~thesls catalysts, this ruthenium carbGne catalyst is stable to acids, alcohola, oldehydca and quaternary amine salts and aan be used in a variety of solvents (CBHe, GH2CI2, TMF, t 6uOH). The mast commonly-used catalysts are based on Mo, W and Ru.
is The use of transition-metal catalyzed alkene metathesis has since enjoyed increasing attention as a synthetic method. Research efforts have been malrtly focused on the synthesis of small molecules, but the application of olefin metathesis to polymer synthesis has allowed the preparation of new polymeric material with unprecedented properties (such as highly stereoregular poly-norbomadiene).
The utilization of olefin metathesis aS a means to produce low molecular w~ight compounds from unsaturated elastomers has received growing interest. The principle for the molecular weight reduction of unsaturated polymers is shown in Figure 2. The 2o use of an appropriat~ catalyst allows the cross-metathesis of the unsaturation of the polymer with the co-olefin. The end result is the cleavage of the polymer chain at the unsaturation sites and the generation of polymer fragments having lower molecular weights. In additiart, another effect of this process is the "homogenizing" of the polymer chain lengths, resulting in a reduction of the polydispersity. From an application arid .25 processing stared point, a narrow molecular weight distribution of the raw polymer results in improved physical properties of the vulcanized rubber, whilst the lower molecular weight provides good processing behavior.

In Certain cases the co-olefin can Itself act as a Solvent (for example, 1-hexane), in wh~h case no ether solvent is nrs~ssary.
The concentration of NBR in the reaction mixture is not critioal but, obviously, 1o should be such that the reaction is not hampered if the mixture is too viscous to be stirred effioiently, for example. Preferably, the concentration of NBR is in the range of from about 1 to about 20%, most preferably in the range of from about fi to about 15%.
The metathesis reaction is carried out at a temperature in the range of from about 2D to about 140°C; preferably in the range of from about 60 to about 1Z0°C.
The reaction time will depend upon a number of factors, including cement concentration, amount of catalyst used and the temperature at which the reaction is performed. The matathssis is oor~tpt~te vvithlr~ the first taro hours under typical 2o conditions. The progress of the metathesis reaction may be monitored by standard analytical techniques. for example using CPC or solution viscosity .

For examQle,, homogeneous hydrogenation catalysts known to those of skill in the art, such as Wilkinson's catalyst {(pPh3~3RhGl} and the like can be used.
The hydrogenation rryay b~ performed in sifu i.e. in the same reaction vessel in which the metathesis step is Carried out, without the need to first isolate the metathesised product. The hydrogenation Catalyst is simply added to the vessel, which is then treated with hydrogen to produce the HNB .
JUN-12-O1 15:24 From:BAYER SARNIA PATENT DEPT +519-339-1523 T-B09 P.13/18 Job-Grubb's catalyst, in the presence of hydrogen, is converted to a dihydride complex (PR3)2RuC12Hz, which is itself an olefin hydrogenation catalyst. Thus, in a one-pot reaction. Grubb's catalyst was used to reduce the molecular weight of NBR
in the presence of co-olefin. The reaction mixture was then treated with hydrogen, converting the Grubb's complex to the dihydride speci$s which then hydrogenated the metathesis product to produce the HNBR of the inventJon. The rate of hydrogenation ways lower in this case than In the case where W!lkins8n'a catalyst wax used for the hydragAnation step, but it is clear that such an approach is indeed a viable one.
1o The low MQOney HNBR which forms an object of the invention can be characterized by standard techniques known in the art. For example, the molecular weight distribution of the polymer was determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) using a Waters 2690 Separation Module and a Waters 410 Differential Refractometer running Waters Millenium software version 3.05.01. Samples were dissolved in tetrahydrof~ran (THF) stabilis~d with 0.025% BHT. The columns used for the determination were three sequential mixed-B gel column from Polymer l-abs.
Reference Standards used were polystyrene standards from American Polymer Standards Corp.
Tha Mooney viscosity of the n.ibber was determined using ASTM te$t x1646.
For a typical product the Mn is about 27k (compared to 85k for the starting polymer) whilst the ivlw is ain~ut ~4ic-{corr~pared-to-~96k for tho-sts~rtir~g polymet~)...,As._... _ _ _._ expected, the molecular weight distribution falls from about 3.~1 for the starting Perbunan NT 3435 T feedstock to about 2.0 for the metathesiZed product, This is consistent with a more homogeneous range of polymer chain lengths and molecular weights.
