Description

Preparation method of linear copolymer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of polymer preparation methods, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a linear copolymer.
Background
Maleic anhydride is a typical electron accepting monomer. The conjugated diene-maleic anhydride copolymer is an important high molecular material and is widely applied to the fields of latex paint, modifier of adhesive, dispersant of pigment, compatilizer of rubber and plastic and the like.
The current focus of research on conjugated diene-maleic anhydride copolymers is the grafting of maleic anhydride (Mah) onto homopolymers and copolymers of conjugated dienes. For example, in non-patent document 1, the graft reaction between polybutadiene and maleic anhydride is carried out at a high temperature (180 to 200 ℃) for 4 to 5 hours. In non-patent document 2, maleic anhydride graft modification of polybutadiene is performed in a solution using xylene as a solvent and benzoyl peroxide as an initiator.
The preparation method of the conjugated diene-maleic anhydride copolymer at present mainly adopts free radical polymerization, and a small amount of the conjugated diene-maleic anhydride copolymer adopts coordination polymerization. Free radical polymerization is currently the predominant method for preparing conjugated diene-maleic anhydride copolymers. For example, in non-patent document 3, a maleic anhydride/isoprene alternating copolymer in which the diene structure is a high cis-1,4-structure is obtained at 80 ℃ using cyclohexanone as a solvent.
In patent documents 1 to 5, a linear copolymer of a conjugated diene and maleic anhydride is prepared by using an initiator such as dibenzoyl peroxide, azobisisobutyronitrile, or lauroyl peroxide and selecting a polar solvent such as tetrahydrofuran, dioxane, acetone, or N, N-dimethylformamide at 60 to 150 ℃.
In non-patent document 4, nd (naph) 3 -AlEt 3 A catalytic system, toluene/dioxane is used as a mixed solvent, the set temperature is 5 ℃, and the maleic anhydride-isoprene alternating copolymer is prepared after 2h of reaction. In non-patent document 5, fe (acac) is a bimetallic system 3 -Al(i-Bu) 3 As a catalyst, toluene/dioxane is used as a mixed solvent, the temperature is set to be 20 ℃, and the maleic anhydride-isoprene copolymer is prepared after 2h of reaction.
Patent document 6 discloses a self-stabilized precipitation polymerization method for producing a crosslinked copolymer of a conjugated diene and maleic anhydride, which is insoluble in acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and N, N-dimethylformamide, by reacting an initiator such as dibenzoyl peroxide, azobisisobutyronitrile, and lauroyl peroxide at 50 to 90 ℃ for 0.5 to 73 hours and selecting a solvent such as isoamyl acetate, butyl acetate, and ethyl butyrate.

Disclosure of Invention
Problems to be solved by the invention
The series of methods in patent documents 1 to 5 is solution polymerization, and the post-treatment process is complicated and expensive. The methods of non-patent documents 4 and 5 use solvents that are highly toxic and require the introduction of metal catalysts, and the catalytic systems are complicated and expensive. Patent document 6 discloses a crosslinked copolymer which is insoluble in solvents such as acetone, tetrahydrofuran, and N, N-dimethylformamide.
Therefore, in the copolymerization method of conjugated diene and electron accepting monomer in the prior art, the preparation of the linear copolymer is usually carried out by metal catalysis and solution polymerization, which increases the difficulty for the purification treatment and practical application of the subsequent polymer, increases the economic cost and aggravates the environmental pollution. The copolymers obtained in the precipitation polymerization process tend to form crosslinked systems, which limits subsequent applications.
Therefore, it is highly desirable to develop a method for preparing a linear copolymer of conjugated diene and electron accepting monomer, which does not require the use of a catalyst, is easy to post-treat the polymer, is low in cost, and is environmentally friendly.
