Technical Field
Cross-reference to related applications
The present application claims the benefit of priority based on korean patent application No.10-2021-0104040 filed on 8/6 of 2021, the entire contents of which are incorporated herein by reference.
The present invention relates to a method of preparing a graft copolymer, and a resin composition comprising the same.
Background
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) copolymers are prepared by graft copolymerization of styrene and acrylonitrile on butadiene rubber polymers. ABS copolymers have excellent impact resistance, chemical resistance, thermal stability, colorability, fatigue resistance, rigidity and processability when compared to conventional High Impact Polystyrene (HIPS), and are used in parts or toys such as interior and exterior materials of automobiles, office equipment and various electric and electronic products.
ABS copolymers are generally prepared by an emulsion polymerization method and are used as materials for conventional resin compositions, flame-retardant resin compositions, extrusion resin compositions, heat-resistant resin compositions, and transparent resin compositions according to the properties of the mixed matrix resin. Thus, since ABS copolymers can be used as materials in various fields, efforts have been continuously made to satisfy the physical properties required in various fields in addition to matrix resins.
At the same time, ABS copolymers are essentially impact resistant. Therefore, as a method of improving the impact resistance of the ABS copolymer, a method of controlling the proportion of monomers and maximizing the grafting ratio to change the composition of monomers to be graft polymerized to and from rubber particles has been proposed, but in this case, in the process of preparing a resin composition comprising the ABS copolymer and a matrix resin, deterioration of flowability may cause a problem of deterioration of processability.
In addition, although the same ABS copolymer is applied in a resin composition including the ABS copolymer and a matrix resin, physical properties of the ABS copolymer itself may not be completely exhibited according to the type of matrix resin, and defects that individually deteriorate physical properties such as impact resistance and processability may occur.

According to one embodiment of the present invention, the method of preparing a graft copolymer may prepare a core-shell graft copolymer by preliminarily graft polymerizing a first monomer mixture onto a conjugated diene-based polymer through step (S10), and forming a first graft layer by penetrating monomer units formed from the first monomer mixture into the conjugated diene-based polymer or forming the first graft layer outside, and forming a second graft layer in a wrapping shape of the first graft layer through step (S20).
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the step (S10) and the step (S20) may be continuously performed in the graft copolymerization for preparing the graft copolymer, and in particular, may be performed by continuously injecting the second monomer mixture, the first molecular weight regulator, and the second molecular weight regulator different from the first molecular weight regulator during the batch injection and polymerization of the first monomer mixture and the first molecular weight regulator in the presence of the conjugated diene-based polymer latex according to the step (S10).
According to one embodiment of the present invention, step (S10) may be performed in the presence of the conjugated diene-based polymer latex. Accordingly, the first monomer mixture injected in step (S10) may be graft-polymerized onto the conjugated diene-based polymer contained in the conjugated diene-based polymer latex to prepare a preliminary graft copolymer containing a first graft layer formed by infiltration of monomer units formed from the first monomer mixture into the conjugated diene-based polymer or outside. The conjugated diene polymer latex may be prepared by the step (S1) for preparing the conjugated diene polymer. Step (S1) is a step of polymerizing a conjugated diene-based monomer to prepare a conjugated diene-based polymer, and the conjugated diene-based monomer may be one or more selected from 1, 3-butadiene, 2, 3-dimethyl-1, 3-butadiene, piperylene, 3-butyl-1, 3-octadiene, isoprene, and 2-phenyl-1, 3-butadiene, specifically, 1, 3-butadiene.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, step (S1) may be performed by emulsion polymerization, and thus, a conjugated diene polymer latex type including a conjugated diene polymer may be obtained.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, step (S1) may be performed by radical polymerization using a peroxide-based initiator, a redox initiator, or an azo-based initiator, and the redox initiator may be, for example, one or more selected from t-butyl hydroperoxide, diisopropylbenzene hydroperoxide, and cumene hydroperoxide.

According to an embodiment of the present invention, the emulsifier used in the emulsion polymerization process of step (S1) may be one or more selected from anionic emulsifiers, cationic emulsifiers and nonionic emulsifiers, in particular, one or more selected from alkylaryl sulfonates, alkali methylalkyl sulfates, fatty acid soaps, alkali oleates, alkali abietates, alkali laurates, sodium diethylhexyl phosphate, phosphonated polyoxyethylene alcohols and phosphonated polyoxyethylene phenols. In this case, there may be an effect of providing a stable polymerization environment. The emulsifier may be injected, for example, 5.0 parts by weight or less, 3.0 parts by weight or less, or 0.5 parts by weight to 2.5 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the conjugated diene-based monomer injected in step (S1).
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the emulsion polymerization in step (S1) may be performed in an aqueous solvent, and the aqueous solvent may be ion-exchanged water.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the conjugated diene polymer latex may include a conjugated diene polymer, and the conjugated diene polymer may be injected in an amount of 50 to 80 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total injection amount of the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer, and the vinyl cyanide monomer. The injected amount of the conjugated diene polymer is a basic amount of the solid content of the conjugated diene polymer in the conjugated diene polymer latex. In a specific embodiment, the conjugated diene-based polymer may be 50 parts by weight or more, 52 parts by weight or more, 54 parts by weight or more, 56 parts by weight or more, 58 parts by weight or more, or 60 parts by weight or more, and 80 parts by weight or less, 75 parts by weight or less, 70 parts by weight or less, 68 parts by weight or less, 66 parts by weight or less, 64 parts by weight or less, 62 parts by weight or 60 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the total injection amount of the conjugated diene-based polymer, the aromatic vinyl-based monomer, and within this range, the compatibility of the graft copolymer with the matrix resin may be prevented from deteriorating, and the impact resistance may be improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first monomer mixture injected in step (S10) may include an aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyanide-based monomer. In this case, in the process of preparing the resin composition comprising the graft copolymer, in order to improve flowability and subsequently improve processability while maintaining the same or better level of impact properties such as impact resistance regardless of the type of matrix resin, it is important to control the amount of vinyl cyanide-based monomer in the first monomer mixture. In a specific embodiment, the first monomer mixture may include 15 wt% or more, 16 wt% or more, 17 wt% or more, 18 wt% or more, 19 wt% or more, 20 wt% or more, 21 wt% or more, 22 wt% or more, 23 wt% or more, 24 wt% or more, or 25 wt% or more, and 40 wt% or less, 39 wt% or less, 38 wt% or less, 37 wt% or less, 36 wt% or less, 35 wt% or less, 34 wt% or less, 33 wt% or less, 32 wt% or less, 31 wt% or 30 wt% or less of the vinyl cyanide monomer. Within this range, during the polymerization of the graft copolymer, a significant increase in the middle and end of the polymerization and a deviation from the controlled temperature range during the polymerization can be prevented, the impact strength and flowability to a general-purpose base resin such as a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer can be sufficiently ensured, and the deterioration of the impact strength to a heat-resistant base resin such as an α -methylstyrene-acrylonitrile copolymer can be prevented.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the first monomer mixture may include 60 wt% or more, 61 wt% or more, 62 wt% or more, 63 wt% or more, 64 wt% or more, 65 wt% or more, 66 wt% or more, 67 wt% or more, 68 wt% or more, 69 wt% or more, or 70 wt% or more, and 85 wt% or less, 84 wt% or less, 83 wt% or less, 82 wt% or less, 81 wt% or less, 80 wt% or less, 79 wt% or less, 78 wt% or less, 77 wt% or less, 76 wt% or 75 wt% or less of the aromatic vinyl monomer, depending on the amount of the vinyl cyanide monomer. The first monomer mixture may contain, in addition to the aromatic vinyl monomer and the vinyl cyanide monomer, a vinyl monomer copolymerizable with the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer and the vinyl cyanide monomer, as required.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first monomer mixture may be injected in an amount of 5 to 20 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total injection amount of the conjugated diene-based polymer, the aromatic vinyl-based monomer, and the vinyl cyanide-based monomer injected in the process of preparing the graft copolymer. In a specific embodiment, the first monomer mixture may be 5 parts by weight or more, 6 parts by weight or more, 7 parts by weight or more, 8 parts by weight or more, 9 parts by weight or more, or 10 parts by weight or more, and 20 parts by weight or less, 19 parts by weight or less, 18 parts by weight or less, 17 parts by weight or less, 16 parts by weight or less, or 15 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total injection amount of the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer, and the vinyl cyanide monomer, and within this range, the compatibility of the graft copolymer with the matrix resin may be prevented from deteriorating, and the impact resistance may be improved.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second monomer mixture injected in step (S20) may include an aromatic vinyl-based monomer and a vinyl cyanide-based monomer. In this case, the aromatic vinyl monomer of the first monomer mixture and the aromatic vinyl monomer of the second monomer mixture may be the same as or different from each other. In addition, the vinyl cyanide monomer of the first monomer mixture and the vinyl cyanide monomer of the second monomer mixture may be the same or different from each other. Meanwhile, in the process of preparing a resin composition comprising a graft copolymer, in order to improve flowability and subsequently improve processability while maintaining impact properties such as impact resistance regardless of the type of matrix resin, it is important to control the vinyl cyanide monomer content in the second monomer mixture in addition to the vinyl cyanide monomer content in the first monomer mixture. If the vinyl cyanide monomer content in the first monomer mixture and the second monomer mixture is not properly controlled in this way, although the impact strength to a general-purpose base resin such as a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer can be ensured, the impact strength to a heat-resistant base resin such as an α -methylstyrene-acrylonitrile copolymer cannot be ensured. Thus, in a particular embodiment, the second monomer mixture may comprise greater than or equal to 1 wt%, greater than or equal to 5 wt%, greater than or equal to 10 wt%, greater than or equal to 11 wt%, greater than or equal to 12 wt%, greater than or equal to 13 wt%, greater than or equal to 14 wt%, greater than or equal to 15 wt%, greater than or equal to 16 wt%, greater than or equal to 17 wt%, greater than or equal to 18 wt%, greater than or equal to 19 wt%, or greater than or equal to 20 wt%, and less than or equal to 27 wt%, less than or equal to 26 wt%, less than or equal to 25 wt%, less than or equal to 24 wt%, less than or equal to 23 wt%, less than or equal to 22 wt%, less than or equal to 21 wt%, or less than or equal to 20 wt% of the vinyl cyanide monomer.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the second monomer mixture may contain 73 wt% or more, 74 wt% or more, 75 wt% or more, 76 wt% or more, 77 wt% or more, 78 wt% or more, 79 wt% or more, or 80 wt% or more, and 99 wt% or less, 95 wt% or less, 90 wt% or less, 89 wt% or less, 88 wt% or less, 87 wt% or less, 86 wt% or less, 85 wt% or less, 84 wt% or less, 83 wt% or less, 82 wt% or less, 81 wt% or 80 wt% or less of the aromatic vinyl monomer, depending on the amount of the vinyl cyanide monomer. In addition to the aromatic vinyl monomer and the vinyl cyanide monomer, the second monomer mixture may contain a vinyl monomer copolymerizable with the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer, and the vinyl cyanide monomer, as required.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the second monomer mixture may be injected in 10 to 45 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total injection amount of the conjugated diene-based polymer, the aromatic vinyl-based monomer, and the vinyl cyanide-based monomer injected in the process of preparing the graft copolymer. In a specific embodiment, the second monomer mixture may be 10 parts by weight or more, 15 parts by weight or more, 20 parts by weight or more, or 25 parts by weight or less, and 45 parts by weight or less, 40 parts by weight or less, 35 parts by weight or less, or 30 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer, and the vinyl cyanide monomer injected. Within this range, deterioration in compatibility of the graft copolymer with the matrix resin can be prevented, and impact resistance can be improved.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the aromatic vinyl-based monomer may be one or more selected from styrene, α -methylstyrene, 3-methylstyrene, 4-propylstyrene, 1-vinylnaphthalene, 4-cyclohexylstyrene, 4- (p-methylphenyl) styrene and 1-vinyl-5-hexylnaphthalene, in particular, styrene.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the vinyl cyanide monomer may be one or more selected from acrylonitrile, methacrylonitrile, ethacrylonitrile, phenylacrylonitrile and α -chloroacrylonitrile, in particular, acrylonitrile.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, step (S10) and step (S20) may be performed by injecting the first molecular weight regulator together with the first monomer mixture and the second monomer mixture. Similarly, the first molecular weight modifier may be injected in both step (S10) and step (S20), but may be injected batchwise with the first monomer mixture in step (S10), and may be injected continuously with the second monomer mixture in step (S20). In this case, the absolute amount of the first molecular weight modifier injected during the preparation of the graft copolymer can be reduced, and by injecting in the same amount based on the total injection amount of the first molecular weight modifier as described above, the flowability of the graft copolymer can be improved, while deterioration of mechanical properties such as impact resistance can be prevented.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the first molecular weight regulator may be one or more selected from the group consisting of tertiary dodecyl mercaptan, n-dodecyl mercaptan, octyl mercaptan, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, methylene bromide, tetraethylthiuram disulfide, dipentylene thiuram disulfide and diisopropyl xanthogen disulfide, in particular tertiary dodecyl mercaptan.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the total injection amount of the first molecular weight modifier in the step (S10) and the step (S20) may be 0.20 parts by weight to 0.40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total injection amount of the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer and the vinyl cyanide monomer.

According to one embodiment of the invention, step (20) may be performed by continuously injecting the second monomer mixture together with a second molecular weight regulator different from the first molecular weight regulator, in addition to the first molecular weight regulator. In this case, unlike the first molecular weight regulator, the second molecular weight regulator may be injected for the purpose of changing only the grafting ratio without changing the molecular weight. In a specific embodiment, the second molecular weight regulator may be one or more selected from the group consisting of alpha-methylstyrene dimer, n-dodecylmercaptan, octylmercaptan, carbon tetrachloride, methylene chloride, methylene bromide, tetraethylthiuram disulfide, dipentamethylenethiuram disulfide, and diisopropylxanthate disulfide. In a specific embodiment, an alpha-methylstyrene dimer may be used, depending on the purpose of injection of the second molecular weight regulator.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the total injection amount of the second molecular weight modifier in the step (S20) may be 0.01 to 0.40 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the total injection amount of the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer and the vinyl cyanide monomer. In a specific embodiment, the total amount of the second molecular weight modifier in step (S20) may be 0.01 parts by weight or more, 0.02 parts by weight or more, 0.03 parts by weight or more, 0.04 parts by weight or more, 0.05 parts by weight or more, 0.06 parts by weight or more, 0.07 parts by weight or more, 0.08 parts by weight or more, 0.09 parts by weight or more, or 0.10 parts by weight or more, and 0.40 parts by weight or less, 0.35 parts by weight or less, 0.30 parts by weight or less, 0.25 parts by weight or less, 0.20 parts by weight or less, 0.18 parts by weight or less, 0.16 parts by weight or less, 0.15 parts by weight or less, 0.14 parts by weight or less, 0.13 parts by weight or less, 0.12 parts by weight or less, 0.11 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the total amount of the conjugated diene polymer, the aromatic vinyl monomer and the vinyl cyanide monomer. Within this range, only the change in the graft ratio can be caused without changing the molecular weight.
According to one embodiment of the present invention, the graft polymerization in step (S10) and step (S20) may be performed by emulsion polymerization, and the emulsion polymerization may be performed in the presence of a modifier. The emulsifier may be one or more selected from anionic, cationic and nonionic emulsifiers, and in a specific embodiment may be one or more selected from alkylaryl sulfonates, alkali methylalkyl sulfates, fatty acid soaps, alkali oleates, alkali rosin salts, alkali laurates, sodium diethylhexyl phosphate, phosphonated polyoxyethylene alcohols and phosphonated polyoxyethylene phenols.

Thus, the graft copolymer prepared in step (S20) can be obtained as an example of a latex-type graft copolymer dispersed as a colloidal phase in an aqueous solvent.

For each of the graft copolymers prepared in examples 1 to 12 and comparative examples 1 to 6, a first resin composition and a second resin composition were prepared by the following methods, and the impact strength and flow index of each resin composition were measured and are shown in tables 4 to 6.
< preparation of first resin composition >
27.5 parts by weight of each of the graft copolymer particle materials prepared in examples 1 to 12 and comparative examples 1 to 6, 72.5 parts by weight of a styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (LG chem, 92 HR), 1.0 part by weight of a lubricant (ethylene bis stearamide), 0.2 part by weight of magnesium stearate as a stabilizer, and 0.2 part by weight of distearyl pentaerythritol diphosphate were homogeneously mixed using a Henschel mixer, and then extruded to produce pellets.
< preparation of the second resin composition >
24 parts by weight of each of the graft copolymer particle materials prepared in examples 1 to 12 and comparative examples 1 to 6, 76 parts by weight of an α -methylene styrene-acrylonitrile copolymer (LG Chem,200 UH), 1.0 part by weight of a lubricant (ethylene bis stearamide), 0.2 part by weight of sonnox 1076 (SONGWON Industrial co.) as a stabilizer, and 0.2 part by weight of wingstand-L were homogeneously mixed using a Henschel mixer, and then extruded to produce pellets.
* Impact strength (kgf. Cm/cm): notched Izod impact strength was measured using a 1/4 inch thick specimen according to ASTM D256, notched at room temperature (23 ℃) on the specimen.
* Flow index (g/10 min): the measurements were made according to ASTM D1238 at 220℃and 10 kg.
TABLE 4
TABLE 5
TABLE 6
As shown in tables 4 to 6, it was confirmed that each of the first resin composition and the second resin composition comprising each of the graft copolymers of examples 1 to 12 prepared according to the present invention exhibited the same level or improved level of flowability and improved impact strength, although comprising different types of base resins, when compared with the first resin composition and the second resin composition comprising the graft copolymer of comparative example 1 in which the second molecular weight regulator was not injected during the injection of the second monomer mixture. In particular, in the case of examples 3 to 10 in which the amount of the vinyl cyanide monomer in the first monomer mixture was controlled to 25% by weight or more and the amount of the vinyl cyanide monomer in the second monomer mixture was controlled to 24% by weight or less, it was confirmed that the effect was further maximized when compared with comparative example 1 even when compared with examples 1 and 2.
In contrast, it was confirmed that both the first resin composition and the second resin composition comprising the graft copolymer of comparative example 2 in which the vinyl cyanide-based monomer was not contained in the first monomer mixture and the vinyl cyanide-based monomer was contained in the second monomer mixture in excess, and comprising the graft copolymer of comparative example 3 in which the vinyl cyanide-based monomer was contained in the first monomer mixture in a small amount and the vinyl cyanide-based monomer was contained in the second monomer mixture, exhibited rapidly decreased impact strength. The result is that the grafting ratio and the weight average molecular weight of the graft copolymer are not sufficiently ensured.
Further, comparative example 4 in which an excess of vinyl cyanide-based monomer was contained in the second monomer mixture; comparative example 5 in which the molecular weight modifier was not injected during the injection of the first monomer mixture and the first molecular weight modifier was not injected during the injection of the second monomer mixture; and comparative example 6 in which the second molecular weight modifier was injected in place of the first molecular weight modifier during the injection of the first monomer mixture, and in which the second molecular weight modifier was not injected during the injection of the second monomer mixture, it was confirmed that the flow index was rapidly lowered, and in particular, it was confirmed that the impact strength of the first resin composition was deteriorated in the cases of comparative example 5 and comparative example 6.
From these results, it was confirmed that the resin composition comprising the graft copolymer prepared according to the method for preparing a graft copolymer of the present invention and a matrix resin exhibited improved flowability and subsequently improved processability while maintaining the same or better level of impact properties regardless of the type of matrix resin.
