Background
The viscosity index improver (called as viscosity index agent VII for short) of lubricating oil usually comprises high molecular compounds such as polymethacrylate, ethylene-propylene copolymer, polyisobutylene and the like, wherein the mass fraction of the high molecular compounds is 0.5-1.5% in neutral base oil, and the high molecular compounds form a coil structure in the oil product, and the volume of the high molecular compounds is much larger than that of the base oil with smaller molecular weight, so that the viscosity of the oil product is much larger than that of the oil product. 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, good low-temperature starting performance and high-temperature lubricating capability, and are universal in four seasons. 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 hydrogenated styrene/isoprene block copolymer is applied to optical fiber and optical cable filling ointment. In China patent (CN 104342231B), a lubricant viscosity index improver and a preparation method thereof are disclosed, wherein the lubricant viscosity index improver is obtained by hydrogenating and modifying polyisoprene-B-polybutadiene-B-polystyrene triblock copolymer, the molecular chain of the polymer is long-chain linear molecule, the entanglement degree among molecules is low, and the thixotropic behavior is avoided.
Chinese patent (CN 102731739A) describes star polymers of lubricating oil viscosity index improvers, their preparation and use, of the formula (EP 1) M-X- (S-EB-EP 2) n2, wherein EP1 is a first type of arms of the star polymer, a polyisoprene block having a number average molecular weight of 10000 to 150000 before hydrogenation, X is the core of a divinylbenzene coupling agent, S-EB-EP2 is a second type of arms of the star polymer, wherein S is adjacent to the core X of the divinylbenzene coupling agent of the star polymer, EB is in the middle of the arms, EP2 is outside the arms, S is a polystyrene block having a number average molecular weight of 2000 to 15000, EB is a polybutadiene block having a number average molecular weight of 1500 to 12000 and at least 85% or more of 1, 4-polymerized polybutadiene block, EP2 is a polyisoprene block having a number average molecular weight of 10000 to 20000 before hydrogenation, n 1 For the number of arms of EP1, n2 is the number of arms of S-EB-EP2, nl+n2 is the asymmetric number of arms of the block copolymer in the star polymer obtained when 2 or more moles of divinylbenzene coupling agent are coupled per mole of living block copolymer, wherein the star polymer structure contains 2 to 15wt% of polybutadiene blocks, and the polyisoprene blocks and polybutadiene blocks in the star polymer structure are at least partially hydrogenated. The star polymer not only exhibits excellent tackifying effect and shear stability, but also is useful in formulating thickened engine oilsHas a low pumping viscosity and low temperature start-up viscosity 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 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. FT-IR, 1H-NMR and DSC tests were also conducted on the viscosity index improver hydrogenated styrene/conjugated diene (butadiene, isoprene) copolymer (HSD) in the section "molecular structure of viscosity index improver HSD", polymer materials science and engineering, 2012, and showed that HSD was a highly hydrogenated styrene-butadiene block copolymer having a high butadiene content, the mass fraction of styrene was 18.50%, the mass fraction of butadiene was 81.50%, and the butadiene hydrogenation degree was 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 with an arm number of 7.10 and a coupling efficiency of 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 the process of preparing eight-arm star block copolymer by living anion polymerization and hydrogenation reaction thereofIn the "high molecular theory, 09 in 2020"), the synthesis of lithium (PS-PI-Li) active chain by active anion polymerization method was studied, and then the coupling reaction with octavinyl polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane (OVPOSS) was carried out to obtain octa-arm star-shaped block copolymer (PS-PI) 8 POSS; finally, pair (PS-PI) 8 The PI chain segment in POSS is subjected to hydrogenation addition reaction to prepare another novel eight-arm star-shaped block copolymer (PS-PI) containing saturated hydrocarbon chain segments 8 POSS, tested with thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) (PS-PI) 8 Thermal stability of POSS before and after hydrogenation addition reaction. However, the polystyrene (PS-) chain of the polymer is at the outermost side of the "-PI-" chain taking P0SS as a core, and can be characterized as star SIS or the hydrogenated polymer is multi-arm star SEPS, and the polymer has high modulus and high elasticity and shows the behavior of a thermoplastic elastomer, and meanwhile, the behavior description applied to the aspect of a viscosity index improver of lubricating oil is not related.
The number average molecular mass Mn= (32-36) x 10 of the SV-260 currently available on the market 4 Is obtained by coupling hydrogenation of conjugated diene-styrene polymer, and the number average molecular mass Mn= (5.5-6.5) x 10 of the polymer before coupling 4 Hydrogenated polymers are not strong and are not elastic and are used primarily as viscosity index improvers for lubricating oils, and their preparation is proprietary to Kraton.
In summary, the polymers obtained by coupling the active styrene/conjugated diene copolymer with divinylbenzene DVB are all 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. Thermoplastic elastomers coupled with octaethylene-POSS are also unsuitable as viscosity index modifiers.
