Preparation method of high-width distribution and high-branching butyl rubber
Technical Field
The invention relates to a preparation method of high-width distribution and high-branching butyl rubber, in particular to high-width molecular weight distribution and high-branching butyl rubber prepared by taking isoprene/styrene/butadiene ternary heteroarm star-shaped copolymer as a grafting agent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
It is known that Butyl Rubber (IIR) is produced by the cationic polymerization of isobutylene and a small amount of isoprene. Butyl rubber has been commercialized by Exxon corporation in the 40 th century for over seventy years since now, and has excellent properties such as airtightness, damping properties, thermal aging resistance, ozone resistance, and weather resistance, and thus it is widely used in the fields of manufacturing inner tubes, airtight layers, curing bladders, medical stoppers of tires for vehicles, and the like, and is one of the most important synthetic rubber products.
However, the molecular chain of the butyl rubber is mainly composed of carbon-carbon single bonds, the number of double bonds is small, and the substituent methyl groups are symmetrically arranged, so that the defects of high crystallinity, poor flexibility of the molecular chain, low stress relaxation rate, low vulcanization speed, poor adhesiveness, poor compatibility with other general rubbers and the like exist, and the butyl rubber is easy to excessively flow and deform in the processing process. Therefore, how to balance the physical and mechanical properties and the processability of the butyl rubber becomes a bottleneck for preparing high-performance butyl rubber materials.
In recent years, researchers find that star-shaped highly-branched butyl rubber which is composed of a high-molecular-weight graft structure and a low-molecular-weight linear structure and has a unique three-dimensional net structure has excellent viscoelastic property, high crude rubber strength and a fast stress relaxation rate, low melt viscosity can be kept in a processing process, a high-molecular-weight polymer can be obtained, and balance and unification of physical and mechanical properties and processing properties are realized. Therefore, the star-shaped highly-branched structure becomes one of the hot spots in the research field of future butyl rubber.

CN1427851A discloses a preparation method of butyl rubber with wide molecular weight distribution. The process uses a mixed catalyst system comprising a mixture of a major amount of an internalized dialkylaluminum, a minor amount of a monoalkylaluminum dihalide, and a minor amount of an aluminoxane to provide a broad distribution butyl rubber having a molecular weight distribution of greater than 3.5 up to 7.6. CN 101353403B discloses a preparation method of star-shaped highly-branched polyisobutylene or butyl rubber, which adopts a polystyrene/isoprene block copolymer with a silicon-chlorine group at the tail end or a polystyrene/butadiene block copolymer with a silicon-chlorine group at the tail end as an initiating grafting agent for positive ion polymerization, directly participates in the positive ion polymerization in a positive ion polymerization system of a mixed solvent with a ratio of v: v of monochloro methane to cyclohexane of 20-80/80-20 at the temperature of 0-100 ℃, and prepares a star-shaped highly-branched polyisobutylene or butyl rubber product by the initiation of the silicon-chlorine group and the participation of a grafting reaction of an unsaturated chain. CN01817708.5 provides a method for preparing star-shaped highly branched polymers by adding a multiolefin crosslinking agent such as divinylbenzene and a chain transfer agent such as 2,4, 1-trimethyl-1-pentene to a mixture of isoolefin monomers and diolefin monomers. CN88108392.57 discloses a star-shaped grafted butyl rubber with a comb-shaped structure, which is prepared by using a hydrochloric acid polystyrene-isoprene copolymer as a multifunctional initiator or using polystyrene-butadiene or polystyrene-isoprene as a grafting agent.

Figure BDA0002443173390000191
As can be seen from Table 1: the highly-broadly-distributed and highly-branched butyl rubber has a wider molecular weight distribution and a lower Mooney relaxation area, shows good processability (the smaller the area under a stress relaxation curve is, the lower the energy consumption of mixing processing is), and simultaneously has good air tightness and high tensile strength.
The present invention is capable of other embodiments, and various changes and modifications may be made by one skilled in the art without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention as defined in the appended claims.
