Description

Butyl rubber with wide molecular weight distribution and synthetic method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of butyl rubber synthesis, in particular to butyl rubber with wide molecular weight distribution and a synthesis method thereof, and more particularly relates to a technology for regulating and controlling the molecular weight distribution of butyl rubber, and the butyl rubber with the molecular weight distribution Mw/Mn of more than 5 can be obtained, namely the aim of improving the processability of the butyl rubber is achieved by controlling the molecular weight distribution of the butyl rubber.
Background
Butyl rubber is a linear polymer prepared by taking Isobutene (IB) and a small amount of Isoprene (IP) as monomers and combining the monomers end to end and is prepared by cationic reaction at a low temperature of-90 ℃ to-100 ℃. The initiation system comprises an initiator and a co-initiator to form an ion pair with initiation activity, and the degree of tightness of the ion pair determines the activity of the initiator and the initiation rate of polymerization reaction. Typically, a cation donor is used as an initiator, typically comprising a carbocation donor and a proton donor; the Lewis acid is a co-initiator, and boron trifluoride, titanium tetrachloride, aluminum trichloride and ethyl aluminum dichloride are commonly used. Depending on the state of the polymer at the time of polymerization, it can be classified into solution polymerization and slurry polymerization, but mainly depends on the solubility of the polymer in the diluent; industrially, the typical solution polymerization diluent is hexane and the slurry polymerization diluent is methyl chloride. The slurry polymerization monomer has high concentration, low system viscosity, easy heat removal, difficult glue hanging and pipeline blockage, and is the polymerization method which is most popular in the industry at present.
The isoprene content of the commercial butyl rubber is only 0.6 to 2.5 percent of that of the main chain, and the butyl rubber has good chemical stability and thermal stability and particularly outstanding air tightness due to low unsaturation degree and a large number of side methyl groups of a molecular chain. To date, butyl rubber has been an irreplaceable material for the manufacture of tire innertubes and curing bladders.
When rubber products are processed, it is desirable that the green rubber have sufficient green strength to prevent excessive flow and deformation during various processing operations. It is considered that the green strength is related to the molecular weight, and as the molecular weight increases, the green strength increases. However, it is also desirable that the rubber have a fast stress relaxation rate so that the stress applied during the molding process is quickly released so that the rubber does not slowly deform or crack due to these unreleased stresses. However, the stress relaxation rate is also a function of the molecular weight, and decreases with increasing molecular weight. Therefore, it is necessary to control the content of the high molecular weight fraction and the content of the low molecular weight fraction of the rubber simultaneously so that the rubber has both high green strength and a fast stress relaxation rate. The chinese patent publication No. CN1966537a discloses a method for preparing isoolefin polymer or copolymer, wherein a diluent compounded by methylene dichloride and n-hexane is mainly used, and alcohols, esters or ketones are added into a lewis acid catalyst system to regulate the molecular weight and distribution of butyl rubber. However, their alcohols, esters or ketones reduce the activity of the lewis acid catalysts, resulting in low gum yields.
