Using sec-butyl lithium as an initiator, carrying out anionic block copolymerization of styrene and isoprene in benzene, and carrying out end capping by using ethylene oxide; and then, sequentially carrying out ring-opening polymerization on the ethylene oxide and the propylene oxide by taking the ethylene oxide-terminated polystyrene-b-polyisoprene as a macroinitiator and an organic/metal-free Lewis acid-base pair as a catalyst, and preparing the polystyrene-polyisoprene-polyethylene oxide-polypropylene oxide tetrablock copolymer by a one-pot method. The specific operation is as follows:
styrene, isoprene, ethylene oxide, propylene oxide and benzene are all used after dehydration treatment. 1 part of sec-butyllithium, 100 parts of styrene and an appropriate amount of benzene (initial concentration of styrene: 4.0mol/L) were charged into a dry reactor under an inert atmosphere, and stirred at room temperature for 12 hours. 200 parts of isoprene are then added to the reactor and stirred at room temperature for 12 h. Then 100 parts of ethylene oxide is added, and after stirring for 20min at room temperature, 2 parts of phosphazene base is added t BuP 2 And 5 parts of a tetrahydrofuran solution of triethylboron, the ethylene oxide concentration before ring-opening polymerization was 2.0mol/L, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 3 hours. Then, 100 parts of propylene oxide was added thereto, and the mixture was stirred at room temperature for 6 hours. Stopping the reaction with acetic acid, collecting the crude product, precipitating with methanol, and vacuum drying. The crude product has a molecular weight of 43.6kg/mol and a dispersity of 1.20 as determined by SEC. 1 The conversions of styrene, isoprene, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide were all 100% by H NMR. Theoretical number average molecular weight M calculated by feeding ratio and conversion rate of sec-butyl lithium, styrene, isoprene, ethylene oxide and propylene oxide n,th (PS-b-PI-b-PEO-b-PPO) was 34.3 kg/mol. The catalyst initiation system described in this example contains sec-butyllithiumThe molar ratio of the organic base to the alkyl boron is 1: 2: 5.
