Description

Low cis-polybutadiene rubber and preparation method thereof, and HIPS and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of synthetic rubber and resin, in particular to low cis-polybutadiene rubber and a preparation method thereof, and HIPS resin and a preparation method thereof.
Background
The use of different toughening rubbers can have a significant impact on the properties of HIPS resins. Theoretically, LCBR rubber, high cis-polybutadiene rubber, styrene-butadiene-styrene thermoplastic elastomer and the like are common rubber types for preparing HIPS resin by a continuous bulk method.
The toughened rubber cannot select a crosslinked structure because the crosslinked rubber cannot undergo a grafting reaction. In the traditional body process, high cis-polybutadiene rubber is adopted, the glass transition temperature of the high cis-polybutadiene rubber is lower, the high cis-polybutadiene rubber is easy to relax, the impact resistance effect is good, but the high cis-polybutadiene rubber has a low-temperature crystallization tendency and is not beneficial to improving the low-temperature toughness. For low-temperature toughness HIPS resin, LCBR is the best toughening agent because of the characteristics of moderate vinyl content, low gel content and random distribution of the cis-trans 1,4 molecular chain structure.
LCBR rubbers are classified into batch polymerization products and continuous polymerization products according to the process. The batch polymerization process is flexible, and after the polymerization is finished, a polyfunctional group coupling agent is generally adopted for coupling reaction so as to balance the Mooney viscosity of the product and the viscosity of 5 percent styrene. Continuous polymerization processes, due to the continuous transport of the material, cannot introduce a terminating coupling agent during the polymerization process when there is only one reactor, otherwise the living chains would be terminated by the coupling agent and the desired branched polymer product would not be obtained.
The continuous polymerization products on the market are classified into two types, i.e., a single-reactor continuous polymerization process and a three-reactor continuous polymerization process. The former is represented by Asahi chemical company of Japan, and does not add any branching agent during polymerization, and the product thereof has a linear structure, and cannot achieve a balance between Mooney viscosity and 5% styrene solution viscosity, and it is difficult to balance gloss and impact resistance at the same time in the modification of HIPS. The latter is represented by Arrangian-Neodylaceae, and the polymerization reaction is carried out in a first reactor, the coupling reaction is carried out in a second reactor, and the termination reaction is carried out in a third reactor; the process has long process flow, large investment and large occupied area, and the product adopts silane containing chlorine as a coupling agent, and chloride ions enter condensed water and colloidal particles in the post-treatment stage to corrode post-treatment equipment.
