Description

Process for producing cyclic olefin copolymer
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a method for producing a cyclic olefin copolymer.
Background
Cyclic olefin polymers and cyclic olefin copolymers (also referred to as "COP" and "COC", respectively) have low hygroscopicity and high transparency, and are used in various applications represented by the fields of optical materials such as optical disk substrates, optical films, and optical fibers. As a representative COC, a copolymer of cyclic olefin and ethylene, the glass transition temperature of which can be changed by the copolymerization composition of cyclic olefin and ethylene, can be produced, and thus a copolymer having a glass transition temperature (Tg) higher than COP can be produced, and although a Tg of more than 200 ℃ which is difficult to realize COP can be realized, it has a hard and brittle property, and thus has a problem of low mechanical strength and poor workability and processability.
In addition, although there are various polymers having high Tg, they have polar groups, so that there are limits to hygroscopicity and dielectric characteristics. Therefore, a polymer having a high Tg, which has no polar group, is formed of an olefin skeleton, and is excellent in optical properties, dielectric properties, and mechanical strength, has been desired.
As one of methods for improving the mechanical strength of a COC having a high Tg, there is a method of copolymerizing a cyclic olefin and an α -olefin other than ethylene (hereinafter referred to as a "specific α -olefin"). Various studies have been made on the copolymerization of cyclic olefins with specific α -olefins.
The copolymerization of cyclic olefins with specific alpha-olefins is significantly different from the copolymerization of cyclic olefins with ethylene. Under the condition that a high molecular weight product is obtained by copolymerization of a cyclic olefin and ethylene, in the copolymerization of a cyclic olefin and a specific α -olefin, a chain transfer reaction by the specific α -olefin occurs, and thus it has been difficult to obtain a high molecular weight product. Therefore, a copolymer of a cyclic olefin and a specific α -olefin is not suitable for a molding material (for example, see non-patent document 1).
Patent document 1 describes that a high molecular weight product composed of a cyclic olefin and a specific α -olefin can be obtained by a specific Ti-based catalyst, that the Tg is 245 to 262 ℃, that the moisture absorption is low, and that a film having excellent physical properties with a linear expansion coefficient of less than 80ppm can be obtained. However, the polymerization method disclosed in patent document 1 has the following problems because a large amount of catalyst and co-catalyst is used: resource saving is difficult to achieve, the cost required to obtain the copolymer is expensive, and the catalyst and cocatalyst remain and the transparency of the film is impaired. Patent document 1 describes that 92 to 164g of a copolymer can be obtained per 1g of a catalyst.
Patent document 2 discloses a film having excellent punching properties, but Tg is less than 170 ℃. In addition, in patent document 2, since a large amount of catalyst and co-catalyst is used, there are the following problems: resource saving is difficult to achieve, the cost required to obtain the copolymer is expensive, and transparency and thermal stability of the film are impaired. In patent document 2, it is described that 127-275g of a copolymer can be obtained per 1g of a catalyst.

Means for solving the problems
The inventors of the present invention found that: the present inventors have completed the present invention by finding that a cyclic olefin copolymer having a molecular weight which is excellent in mechanical properties and suitable for general molding can be obtained by using a small amount of a titanocene catalyst. More specifically, the present invention provides the following technical solutions.
(1) A method of making a copolymer, the method comprising: a polymerization step of polymerizing at least a cyclic olefin monomer (A) derived from norbornene and an alpha-olefin monomer (B) derived from an alpha-olefin of C4 to C12 in the presence of a titanocene catalyst to obtain a copolymer, wherein the amount of the copolymer obtained in the polymerization step is 1000g or more based on 1g of the titanocene catalyst, and the number-average molecular weight of the copolymer is 20000 or more and 200000 or less.

ADVANTAGEOUS EFFECTS OF INVENTION
According to the present invention, a process for producing a copolymer, which can produce a cyclic olefin copolymer having a molecular weight suitable for general molding and excellent in mechanical properties with a small amount of a catalyst. In particular, the effect of the present invention can be further improved by controlling the amount of the chain transfer agent. In the present invention, since the amount of the catalyst used is small, the amount of the co-catalyst can be reduced. Therefore, it is possible to increase the amount of the cyclic olefin copolymer per 1 batch with a smaller amount of the catalyst and the cocatalyst inexpensively while maintaining the molecular weight range, and thus resource saving can also be achieved. Further, since the amount of the catalyst and the cocatalyst remaining in the obtained copolymer is small, the transparency and mechanical properties of a molded article such as a film obtained from the copolymer can be easily improved.
Detailed Description
Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail. The present invention is not limited to the following embodiments.
The method for producing the copolymer of the present invention comprises: a polymerization step of polymerizing at least a cyclic olefin monomer (A) derived from norbornene and an alpha-olefin monomer (B) derived from an alpha-olefin of C4 to C12 in the presence of a titanocene catalyst to obtain a copolymer, wherein the amount of the copolymer obtained in the polymerization step is 1000g or more based on 1g of the titanocene catalyst, and the number-average molecular weight of the copolymer is 20000 or more and 200000 or less. According to the method for producing a copolymer of the present invention, a larger amount of a high molecular weight cyclic olefin copolymer can be obtained in 1 lot while maintaining the molecular weight range even with a smaller amount of a catalyst. In particular, in the method for producing a copolymer of the present invention, from the viewpoint of the amount of the catalyst used and the amount and number average molecular weight of the copolymer obtained, it is preferable that the polymerization step is carried out in the presence of a titanocene catalyst, a cocatalyst comprising alkylaluminoxane and a chain transfer agent.
[ copolymer ]
The copolymer obtained by the method for producing a copolymer of the present invention comprises: structural units derived from a cyclic olefin monomer (A) derived from norbornene and structural units derived from an alpha-olefin monomer (B) derived from an alpha-olefin of C4 to C12.
The amount of the copolymer obtained in the polymerization step included in the production method is 1000g or more, preferably 2000g or more, based on 1g of the titanocene catalyst used in the polymerization step.
The number average molecular weight of the copolymer of the present invention is preferably 20000 or more and 200000 or less, more preferably 30000 or more and 150000 or less. When the number average molecular weight is 20000 or more, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of the resulting copolymer is not likely to be too low. When the number average molecular weight is 200000 or less, the viscosity of the resulting copolymer solution is not likely to be excessively high. In the present specification, the number average molecular weight refers to a polystyrene-equivalent number average molecular weight measured by gel permeation chromatography.
The copolymer of the present invention has a glass transition temperature (Tg) of 170 ℃ or higher, preferably 200 ℃ or higher, more preferably 230 ℃ or higher, and particularly preferably 260 ℃ or higher. When the glass transition temperature is 170 ℃ or higher, the transparent film obtained from the copolymer has sufficient heat resistance, and therefore, can be suitably used as a substrate for ITO deposition, for example. In particular, when the glass transition temperature is 260 ℃ or higher, the transparent film obtained from the copolymer has more sufficient heat resistance, and therefore, for example, even when it comes into contact with a molten lead-free solder, deformation, cracking, melting, and the like are less likely to occur, and therefore, it can be suitably used as a member for a lead-free solder. The upper limit of the glass transition temperature of the copolymer is not particularly limited, but when the glass transition temperature is high, the structural unit derived from the α -olefin in the copolymer is small, and therefore the effect of improving the mechanical strength by copolymerization of the α -olefin tends to be reduced, and therefore the glass transition temperature is preferably 350 ℃ or less, more preferably 330 ℃ or less. In the present specification, the glass transition temperature is a value measured by a DSC method (method described in JIS K7121) at a temperature increase rate of 20 ℃/min.

[ preparation of copolymer ]
The respective monomers shown in table 1 and the co-catalyst shown in table 2 were added to a glass reactor which was dried and kept in a nitrogen atmosphere, and after the polymerization temperature was kept, the catalyst shown in table 2 was added. The catalyst and the cocatalyst were added to the reactor in a state of being dissolved in toluene, respectively. The polymerization was continued while stirring the inside of the reactor at the polymerization temperature and polymerization time shown in Table 3, and then 1 part by mass of 2-propanol was added to terminate the reaction. Then, the obtained polymerization reaction solution was poured into a large amount of hydrochloric acid-based methanol to completely precipitate a polymer, which was filtered off and washed, and then dried under reduced pressure at 60 ℃ for 1 day or more to obtain a copolymer. The quality of the resulting copolymer was measured ("yield" in Table 3). The ratio of the obtained copolymer to the amount of the catalyst used was calculated (in Table 3, "g (copolymer)/g (catalyst)").
The types of the catalyst and the co-catalyst used are as follows. Wherein t-Bu represents a tert-butyl group and Flu represents a fluorenyl group.
Catalyst A: (t-BuNSiMe)2Flu)TiMe2
Cocatalyst A: 6.5% by mass (in terms of Al atom content) of MMAO-3A toluene solution ([ (CH)3)0.7(iso-C4H9)0.3AlO]nA solution of methyl isobutyl aluminoxane shown, manufactured by Tosoh Finechem corporation, was described as containing 6 mol% of trimethylaluminum with respect to the total Al
And (3) a cocatalyst B: 9.0 mass% (in terms of Al atom content) of TMAO-211 toluene solution (a solution of methylaluminoxane, manufactured by Tosoh Finechem corporation, Note that 26 mol% of trimethylaluminum is contained with respect to the total Al)
A cocatalyst C: triisobutylaluminium
A cocatalyst D: dimethylanilinium tetrakis (pentafluorophenyl) borate
The number average molecular weight and Tg of each copolymer are shown in table 3.
The value of "part" in tables 1, 2 and 3 is a value relative to 100 parts of 2-norbornene. In addition, for the catalyst A and B in Table 2, "part" value is based on toluene solution.
