Background technology
Low-molecular-weight polyisoprene at room temperature is in a liquid state, and is called the liquid polyisoprene rubber again.The bonding equalization performance excellence of low molecular weight polycaprolactone isoprene and modified product thereof can be used as reactive plasticizer and tenderizer, improves the process operation of rubber, improves low-hardness rubber physical properties of articles and processing characteristics; When using, can improve mechanical property with white carbon black or clay; Can improvement and metallic substance, glass material between clinging power.Itself and conventional rubber consistencies such as natural rubber, polyisoprene rubber, isoprene-isobutylene rubber, styrene-butadiene rubber(SBR), cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber, chloroprene rubber and ethylene-propylene rubber(EPR) are good and can carry out covulcanization, in goods, there is not migration, solvent-free extraction has improved the ageing-resistant and chemical resistance of goods.The lower molecular weight polyisoprene can be applicable in the rubber items such as tyre industry, electric wire, sealed strip, sebific duct, sealing member, printing and textile rubber roll, footwear industry; Also can be applicable to industries such as tackiness agent, seal gum, self-vulcanizing goods, polyamine fat material modification, gluing goods, asphalt modification and lubricating oil additive.
The ideal liquid polyisoprene should have suitable molecular weight ranges, high-cis content and narrow molecular weight distributions.As tenderizer, molecular weight is low excessively with liquid polyisoprene, and the thermotolerance of goods is relatively poor, and molecular weight is too high, the snappiness deficiency of goods; High-cis content is better with mechanical properties such as the tensile strength that guarantees goods, elongation at breaks; Narrow molecular weight distributions is to guarantee the controllability of product properties.
The method for preparing the lower molecular weight polyisoprene has multiple, but the preparation method who satisfies the lower molecular weight polyisoprene of high-cis content and narrow molecular weight distributions simultaneously still is not reported.Radical polymerization technique can obtain low-molecular-weight polyisoprene, but along 1, the 4-structural content is very low.The lithium series anionic living polymerization can prepare the narrow molecular weight distributions polyisoprene of various molecular weight, but prepared polyisoprene suitable-1,4 structural content is on the low side.Prepare the method for lower molecular weight polyisoprene as a kind of lithium-based catalyst of being reported among the patent US4181635, molecular weight of product is 8,000~77, and between 000, molecular weight distributing index is 1.0~2.7, and suitable-1,4 structural content is 75%~87%.Traditional Ziegler-Natta type catalyzer also can prepare low-molecular-weight polyisoprene, but the distribution of the molecular weight of product of gained is very wide, and very easily produces gel [JP 3831/1977] in the polymerization process.
(" rare earth catalyst synthetic rubber collected works " Science Press, 1980) have only summed up the method that rare earth catalyst prepares the polyisoprene of high molecular Gao Shun-1,4 structural content.Mention among the patent CN200710055516 and adopt the homogeneous phase rare earth catalyst, can obtain the polyisoprene of high-cis content (>96%), narrow molecular weight distributions (<2.0), but gained is the high molecular polyisoprene rubber.
