Description

Hydrogenated asymmetric long-chain branched polystyrene-conjugated diene copolymer, and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to a hydrogenated styrene-conjugated diene copolymer, in particular to a hydrogenated asymmetric long-chain branched polystyrene-conjugated diene copolymer, a preparation method thereof and application thereof as a lubricating oil viscosity index improver, and belongs to the technical field of synthesis of lubricating oil viscosity index improvers.
Background
The viscosity index improver (called as viscosity index agent VII for short) of lubricating oil usually contains high molecular compounds such as polymethacrylate, ethylene propylene copolymer, polyisobutylene and the like, and is generally rubber-like or solid at room temperature, the molecular weight of the high molecular polymers is from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands, and the high molecular polymers with mass fraction of 0.5-1.5% are usually added into neutral oil, so that the polymers form a coil structure in the oil, and the volume of the polymers is much larger than that of base oil with smaller molecular weight, so that the viscosity of the oil is far greater than that of solvent, which is why the thickening can be achieved. The polymer can be compacted into a compact molecular conformation of coil under the static state at low temperature, the viscosity increasing capability is small, and the influence on the viscosity of oil products is small; under the friction, shearing, traction and stretching actions of the reciprocating motion of an engine oil pump and a piston, the compound oil generates heat, molecular coils of polymer molecules are directionally stretched in a high-temperature environment, the hydrodynamic volume is increased, the viscosity of the oil is increased, the flow blocking action on the oil is increased, the viscosity of the oil is obviously increased, and when the engine stops working, the compound oil is cooled to room temperature, the viscosity of the compound oil is recovered to a original state, and the compound oil is called reversible thixotropic property in the process. The thickened internal combustion engine oil, hydraulic oil, gear oil and the like prepared by VII have good viscosity-temperature performance, smooth viscosity-temperature curve, namely good low-temperature starting performance and high-temperature lubricating capability, and can be used all the year round. Compared with single-stage oil with the same viscosity grade, the consumption of the lubricating oil can be reduced by 30 percent, and the consumption of the fuel oil can be reduced by 3 to 5 percent. In recent years, with the advent of hydrogenated styrene conjugated diene copolymers represented by the SV series of Shell, the prepared lubricating oil has low-temperature startability and good viscosity at high temperatures, i.e., good viscometric properties. However, the molecular structure of the polymer is not disclosed, and the polymer belongs to the special technology.
In the prior art, chinese patent (CN 107793542 a) describes a method for synthesizing hydrogenated styrene/isoprene block copolymer, which is to synthesize a diblock copolymer or multiblock copolymer comprising styrene block and isoprene block in an anionic polymerization system using nonpolar alkane and toluene as polymerization solvents, and hydrogenate the diblock copolymer or multiblock copolymer to obtain hydrogenated styrene/isoprene block copolymer; the method adopts the mixed solvent of nonpolar alkane and toluene to effectively increase the reaction probability of active PS-Li end groups and isoprene, so as to reduce or eliminate the content of small molecular polystyrene in the hydrogenated styrene/isoprene block copolymer, and improve the dropping point of the two-block or multi-block hydrogenated styrene/isoprene block copolymer when the hydrogenated styrene/isoprene block copolymer is applied to optical fibers and optical cable filling ointment. In China patent (CN 104342231B), a viscosity index improver of lubricating oil is disclosed, and the viscosity index improver is obtained by hydrogenating and modifying polyisoprene-B-polybutadiene-B-polystyrene triblock copolymer, and the preparation method is that after regulator is added into a polymerization reactor with the temperature of 60-70 ℃ and the pressure of 0.1-0.5 MPa, isoprene, butadiene and styrene monomers are sequentially added for polymerization reaction; and after the polymerization reaction is finished, carrying out hydrogenation reaction on the obtained triblock copolymer to obtain the triblock copolymer. The polymer molecular chain is long-chain linear molecule, the entanglement degree between molecules is low, the thixotropic behavior is not ideal, but the thickening effect is achieved when mineral oil is added.
Chinese patent (CN 102731739 a) describes star polymers of lubricating oil viscosity index improvers, having asymmetric arms, composed of two different types of polymer arms, the first type of arms being hydrogenated polyisoprene homopolymers, the second type of arms being copolymers of hydrogenated polyisoprene-hydrogenated polybutadiene-polystyrene block structures, in which the polystyrene segments are close to the core of the star polymer, the hydrogenated polybutadiene segments being in the middle of the arms, the hydrogenated isoprene segments being on the outside of the arms, the star polymer structure containing 2 to 15% polybutadiene blocks, the polyisoprene blocks and the polybutadiene blocks being hydrogenated, and methods for preparing the same. The star polymer of the invention not only shows excellent tackifying effect and shear stability,and has lower pumping viscosity and low temperature start viscosity in formulating thickened engine oils and does not form crystals or gels in the engine oil. In ("research of hydrogenated SIBR for viscosity index improver", university of company, high molecular material, 2009), a series of SIBRs with controllable molecular weight and narrow molecular weight distribution are synthesized in cyclohexane solvent by adopting a molecular design method and an anionic polymerization technology, wherein n-butyllithium is used as an initiator, tetrahydrofuran is used as a structure regulator, and styrene, isoprene and butadiene are used as monomers; the 1,2 structure of polybutadiene chain segment and 3,4 structure content of polyisoprene chain segment in SIBR are regulated by adopting a tetrahydrofuran monobasic regulating system, and hydrogenation reaction research is carried out on synthesized SIBR sample by adopting nickel naphthenate/triisobutylaluminum as a homogeneous catalytic system. The research results show that: the nickel naphthenate/triisobutyl aluminum catalytic system has higher catalytic activity and selectivity, the reaction temperature is 60 ℃, the hydrogen pressure is 4MPa, the catalyst dosage is 2mg/g of dry gel, the Al/Ni is 7, the reaction time is 3h, the hydrogenation degree of SIBR reaches 98%, and the hydrogenation reaction rate of each microstructure in the SIBR is from large to small and is B1,2 is more than B1,4 is more than I3,4. The hydrogenated SIBR can be used for a viscosity index improver, and the main properties of the viscosity index improver include thickening ability, shear stability, high-temperature high-shear property, low-temperature property and the like. In ("preparation and characterization of Star-shaped hydrogenated random copolymer HSIBR", chemical industry and engineering, 2012, 04), star-shaped styrene-isoprene-butadiene ternary random copolymer (SIBR) is prepared by anionic polymerization using Divinylbenzene (DVB) as a coupling agent and cyclohexane as a solvent, and by reacting nickel naphthenate and triisobutylaluminum as catalysts at 60℃and 4.0MPa hydrogen pressure for 4 hours, a hydrogenated Star-shaped styrene-isoprene-butadiene ternary random copolymer (HSIBR) having a hydrogenation degree of 100% is prepared. The effects of DVB/Li usage, single arm relative molecular mass on polymer Coupling Efficiency (CE) and hydrogenation reaction were examined. And self-made HSIBR is used as a lubricating oil viscosity index improver to test the performance of the lubricating oil viscosity index improver. The result shows that the highest SIBR coupling efficiency obtained by taking DVB as a coupling agent reaches 86.8%, and the synthesized HSIBR is taken as a lubricating oil viscosity index improver. Also in ("viscosity index improvementMolecular structure of the agent HSD ", polymer materials science and engineering, 2012, 11) the viscosity index improver hydrogenated styrene/conjugated diene (butadiene, isoprene) copolymer (HSD) was tested by FT-IR, 1H-NMR and DSC, and the study showed that HSD was a highly hydrogenated high butadiene content styrene-butadiene block copolymer with a mass fraction of styrene of 18.50%, a mass fraction of butadiene of 81.50% and a butadiene hydrogenation of 98.20%. HSD12F number average molecular weight of 4.59X10 by gel chromatography GPC 5 g/mol, single arm number average molecular weight of 6.47×10 4 g/mol, shows that HSD is a star-shaped styrene-butadiene block copolymer, the arm number is 7.10, and the coupling efficiency is 86.44%. That is, the polymer is linear living polymer before coupling and then coupling is performed by DVB, however, DVB is added into the living lithium polymer in the coupling method, and the DVB is quickly copolymerized with DVB monomer after being combined with the living lithium chain due to the higher activity of divinylbenzene, so that a large amount of gel is generated, and other living molecular chains are not coupled. In addition, ("study of synthesis of branched copolymers based on anionic polymerization and their assembly behavior", jugglutination, university of double denier, 2013 (08)) it is proposed herein that branched block copolymers are a class of multiblock hyperbranched structures connected by polymer chains between branching points. The multicomponent block makes the performance of the whole polymer tend to be diversified, so that the polymer has wide application prospect in the aspects of biology, medicine, materials and the like. Anionic polymerization, as a truly living polymerization, has unique advantages in the synthesis of block copolymers of defined composition and polymers of precisely controlled structure. Thus, synthetic means based on anionic technology are clearly an efficient method for preparing branched block copolymers.
The polymers obtained by coupling the active styrene/conjugated diene copolymer with divinylbenzene DVB in the literature are all of multi-arm molecular structures of core radiation-short branched chains, the coupling efficiency of the polymers is only 86%, the lower linear polymers with the mass fraction of 14% still remain, and the oligomers are not resistant to shearing in oil products; meanwhile, DVB is extremely easy to self-polymerize or cyclize to form hyperbranched polymer, super-macromolecules or gel are generated, the polymer containing the gel and the linear polymer is not suitable to be used as a lubricating oil viscosity index improver, the gel is easy to cause easy blockage of fluid, and the linear polymer with low molecules is easy to have defects of molecular chain breakage, poor viscosity temperature performance and the like when being sheared. However, hydrogenated polymers of asymmetrically branched polystyrene-conjugated dienes having a low content of linear oligomers and a narrow molecular mass distribution as viscosity index modifiers have not been reported.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects that the coupling efficiency is low, the thickening capacity is low due to high content of linear oligomer, and the coupled polymer contains partial super-macromolecules and gel, and the viscosity-temperature performance and the shear stability are poor as the viscosity index modifier in the prior art when the active styrene/conjugated diene copolymer is coupled by divinylbenzene DVB. The first object of the present invention is to provide a hydrogenated polystyrene-conjugated diene polymer (ABHSD) which has a large thickening ability, good viscosity-temperature properties and shear stability, a low oligomer content, no gel, a narrow molecular mass distribution and an asymmetric long chain branching.
It is a second object of the present invention to provide a process for preparing said ABHSD which is simple to operate and low cost.
A third object of the present invention is to provide the use of ABHSD as a viscosity index improver for lubricating oils, which exhibits a Shear Stability Index (SSI) of less than 22, thickening ability, when added to a base oil>8.4mm 2 And/s, the viscosity-temperature curve shows advantages of smoothness along with temperature change, and the like.
In order to achieve the above technical object, the present invention provides a hydrogenated asymmetric long chain branched polystyrene-conjugated diene copolymer obtained by hydrogenating conjugated diene units thereof from an asymmetric long chain branched polystyrene-conjugated diene copolymer; the asymmetric long chain branched polystyrene-conjugated diene copolymer has the following expression: S-D/Y n The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the Wherein S is a styrene homo-block, D/Y n Is a random copolymer block of conjugated diene and divinylbenzene, n is the branching degree of the random copolymer block;s has a number average molecular weight of 4X 10 4 ~6×10 4 ;D/Y n Number average molecular weight of 20X 10 4 ~26×10 4 The method comprises the steps of carrying out a first treatment on the surface of the n is 2 to 6. The invention controls the number average molecular weight of the polystyrene block preferably in the range of Mn=40000-60000, and aims to control the ABHSD to have proper stiffness and high enough melt strength to ensure that the hydrogenated polymer has good powdering stability in finished products prepared in units of extrusion, drying, grinding and the like, and can not be adhered to form a block when stored at medium and low temperatures.
As a preferred embodiment, the asymmetric long chain branched polystyrene-conjugated diene copolymer has a degree of hydrogenation of conjugated diene units of >98%.
As a preferable scheme, the mass ratio of the styrene unit to the conjugated diene unit in the asymmetric long-chain branched polystyrene-conjugated diene copolymer is (15-25)/(85-75); the mass of divinylbenzene units in the random copolymer block of the conjugated diene and the divinylbenzene is 0.05 to 0.10% of the mass of conjugated diene units. The incorporation of minute amounts of divinylbenzene units into the random copolymer blocks of conjugated dienes and divinylbenzene has a relatively large impact on ABHSD performance. Although DVB is higher than the polymerization rate of conjugated diene, when a trace amount of DVB is copolymerized with a high concentration of conjugated diene monomer, the collision probability of the conjugated diene monomer and active lithium is far greater than that of the trace amount of DVB in such a polymerization environment due to the high concentration of the conjugated diene monomer and the active lithium, so that random asymmetric branched copolymerization is shown when the two monomers are copolymerized. In the polymerization of the poly conjugated diene units in the ABHSD copolymer molecule of the invention, DVB containing a small amount of difunctional is selected, and the aim is to carry out random and asymmetric branching on the poly conjugated diene units, thereby reducing the homopolymerization of DVB and reducing the occurrence of ultra-large molecules and coagulated insoluble matters. The branched molecular chain of the ABHSD copolymer with the structure extends outwards and orients under the action of shearing traction, and the branched molecular chain is added into an oil product, so that the viscosity of the oil product at high temperature can be improved, and the shearing resistance of a polymer can be improved and the breakage of the molecular chain can be reduced. In addition, when the shearing traction external force disappears and the temperature is reduced, the branched molecular long chain can shrink, curl and tangle, the thickening capacity of the oil product is reduced, and the engine starting is facilitated, namely, the engine has good low-temperature performance. The above viscosity-temperature properties exhibited by ABHSD copolymers are an essential behavior of VII.
As a preferred embodiment, the conjugated diene unit in the random copolymer block of the conjugated diene and divinylbenzene is at least one of isoprene, piperylene and butadiene.
As a preferable embodiment, the mass fraction of the 1, 2-addition unit or/and 3, 4-addition unit of the conjugated diene unit in the random copolymer block of the conjugated diene and divinylbenzene is 30 to 50%. In order to prevent the conjugated diene units in the ABHSD from containing longer polyethylene units after hydrogenation, which leads to the polymer having a tendency to crystallize and present a polyolefin resin and not soluble in the base oil, the conjugated diene units have enough 1.2-units or 3.4-units, and in addition, the inclusion of partial side-chain structural units in the polymer is beneficial to the viscosity-temperature effect of the hydrogenated ABHSD in the oil.
