In order to improve 1, the content of 2-structure, (being total to) polymerization is generally carried out in the presence of so-called " properties-correcting agent ", and properties-correcting agent promptly can change 1, the material of 2-microtexture content.
What belong to properties-correcting agent is the tetrahydrofuran (THF) (THF) that adds in polymerization process usually in the inert solvent.But this can produce the problem of recovery and circulating solvent.
US-A-4,429,091 have narrated a kind of properties-correcting agent of mainly being made up of tetrahydrofuran base alkane (ring-type and/or line style).Obtained comparing with this properties-correcting agent with 1 of the higher percentage composition of THF, 2-microtexture.
US-A-5,231,153 have narrated the synthetic method that obtains elastomer polymer with tetrahydrofurfuryl ether copolymerization of styrene and isoprene.
US-A-4,367,325 disclose and use methoxyl group alkyl tetrahydro furans and other ether to produce the method that contents of ethylene is at least irregular phenylethylene-butadienecopolymer of 70%.US-A-4, the method for 367,325 narrations is insulation method fully, it adopts about 2 hours polymerization time.

The amount of properties-correcting agent can be different, depend on desired polymkeric substance contents of ethylene.For example, if require the polymkeric substance of low vinyl content, then use the properties-correcting agent of about 0.1 molar weight of every mole metal initiator.If require the polymkeric substance of high-vinyl-content, then use relatively large properties-correcting agent.Yet the modification dosage that every mole metal initiator uses is that groundless is higher than 40 moles.Preferably every mole of lithium is used the properties-correcting agent of 0.2-10 mole, preferred 0.5-5 mole.
Compare with the properties-correcting agent of prior art, the efficient of properties-correcting agent of the present invention when hanging down consumption is amazing.
The brainstrust of this area knows that when comparing use ether properties-correcting agent with high ether/lithium, ether properties-correcting agent can make the polymerizing catalyst inactivation, has consequently changed molecular weight distribution curve and molecular weight values itself.Therefore, importantly, use the littler properties-correcting agent of modification dosage that usage quantity is used than known technology when reaching identical (being total to) polymkeric substance contents of ethylene, promptly lower ether/lithium ratio is such as using properties-correcting agent of the present invention.
Polymerization temperature can change in-20 ℃ to 150 ℃ wide region.In most of the cases preferentially select 10 ℃-125 ℃ temperature.Polymerization can be carried out under isothermal or adiabatic condition.Must be noted that at high temperature the statistics and convergence of diene and vinyl-arene is incomplete when using prior art properties-correcting agent; And on the other hand, properties-correcting agent of the present invention even at high temperature also allow diene and vinyl aromatic (co) hydrocarbon compound random polymerization preferably.
With regard to pressure, can keep under polymerizing condition is that the pressure of liquid phase is normally enough basically.
Polymerization can proceed to the monomer enough time of polymeric almost completely that makes.In other words, polymerization is carried out with the high-transformation rate.
Polymerization available standards method stops, and for example uses non-coupling terminator, such as water, acid, lower alcohol; Or use coupling agent.
The representative instance of coupling agent comprises many vinyl-arenes, polyepoxide, polyisocyanates, multi-imide, many aldehyde, many ketone, polyhalogenide, polynary acid anhydride, polynary ester (polyvalent alcohol and monocarboxylic ester), dibasic ester (ester of monohydroxy-alcohol and di-carboxylic acid).
Can reclaim with ordinary method by the polymkeric substance that the inventive method makes with solution polymerization technique.In many cases, preferable methods is to destroy residual carbon-lithium key, reclaims the polymkeric substance that produces then.Adding antioxidant in polymeric solution makes it not be harmful to oxygen that to contact also be favourable with the protection polydiene.The polymkeric substance that produces can be precipitated out from polymeric solution, and adding lower alcohol (for example Virahol) can make residual lithium inactivation.The recovery of polymkeric substance can be used ordinary method, such as decant, filtration, centrifugal.The used vapour stripping is to remove volatile residue.
Used properties-correcting agent can be used for intermittent type or continous way production in the inventive method, is still under quite high temperature effectively.
In intermittence type polymerization, properties-correcting agent of the present invention provides the possibility of using wide temperature range, therefore allows the increase of monomer concentration, also makes this method that economic output is arranged.
In the continous way polymerization, higher temperature has made it kinetics faster, and consequently flow is big, the residence time is shorter, and therefore the output of less expensive arranged.
The following examples will be to the invention provides better explanation.
