Description

Ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene copolymer and synthesis method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of ethylene-propylene rubber, in particular to an ethylene-propylene-non-conjugated diene copolymer and a synthesis method thereof.
Background
Due to the high saturability of molecular chains, compared with other general-purpose rubbers, the ethylene propylene rubber has excellent heat resistance, ozone resistance, weather resistance, good electrical insulation and chemical medium corrosion resistance, low relative density, large filling amount and good adaptability to various conventional rubber processing methods. At present, in the domestic market, ethylene propylene rubber is mainly used in the fields of automobile accessories, building materials, tires, waterproof coiled materials, wires and cables, polyolefin plastic modification, oil additives and the like. Other fields also include railway transportation, subway engineering, pipeline transportation and the like. With the increase of automobile demand in China and the continuous development of social public facilities such as city basic construction, high-speed railways, rail transit construction and the like, the ethylene propylene rubber in China is pulled to enter a demand peak.
The size and distribution of molecular weight have important influence on the physical and mechanical properties and processability of the ethylene propylene rubber. The ethylene propylene rubber with high molecular weight generally has good physical and mechanical properties, and the crude rubber, the mixed rubber and the vulcanized rubber have high tensile strength, constant tensile strength, tearing strength and fillability, but have poor processability such as mixing, extrusion, calendering and the like. It is therefore of interest to develop ethylene propylene rubbers with a broad or bimodal distribution. Although the widely distributed ethylene propylene rubber has low molecular weight components and can play a role in internal lubrication, thereby being beneficial to improving the processability, the physical and mechanical properties and the uniformity of the properties cannot be effectively guaranteed. Therefore, the purpose of bimodal distribution ethylene propylene rubber becomes the development direction of easily processed ethylene propylene rubber.
The main method of the preparation process of the ethylene propylene rubber with bimodal distribution at present is a double-kettle series/parallel process. In addition, a part of work adopts a single kettle polymerization process to directly synthesize the ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer with bimodal distribution, but the adjustability of the synthesized ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer monomer by the process cannot be comparable to that of a double kettle parallel process. In addition, in order to ensure good processability of the prepared ethylene-propylene rubber with bimodal distribution, a large amount of ethylene-propylene-diene copolymer with small molecular weight needs to be added, and the mechanical property of the ethylene-propylene rubber copolymer with high molecular weight needs to be greatly sacrificed.
