Description

The method of the impact modified polymkeric substance of preparation in the presence of solvent
The present invention relates to a kind of by polymerization in the presence of solvent and solubility rubber to prepare the method for impact modified polymkeric substance.
Impact modified polymkeric substance by aromatic monomer and olefinically unsaturated nitriles monomer carry out the radical polymerization preparation in the presence of rubber is known as " abs polymer " or " ABS moulding compound " (ABS is from English " acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) " speech).
Here, by aromatics mono-alkenyl compound, olefinically unsaturated nitriles and the optional radical polymerization of other copolymerizations in the presence of solubility, gel-free polybutadiene rubber, particularly continual (continuously) body or solution polymerization, the non-water preparation that realizes the ABS moulding compound is described in, especially, among patent application EP 700941 and the EP 824122, see HoubenWeyl, " organic chemistry method (Methoden der Organischen Chemie) ", volume E20, part I, p.182~217, Georg Thieme press, the Stuttgart; And following patent specification:

And US 4 315 083.
But the advantage that the characteristics of ABS mass polymerization or ABS solution polymerization are its ecological and economic aspect with and the product inherent colour is shallow and product process during exudate content lower, favourable processing characteristics, high rubber activity and Gao Re distortional point.Body or the solution polymerization in the presence of solubility rubber, carried out about mono-alkenyl compound and olefinically unsaturated nitriles, the problem that research and technos are devoted for years to solution is, the molecular weight distribution of resin phase and grafted rubber particles resin in mutually form and the adjusting problem of distribution of sizes.Particularly processing characteristics, surface luster and hardness/rubber (snappiness)/flexible relation all depends on these factors.
Solution polymerization combines with modern, economic polymkeric substance evaporation technique and enjoys advantage with respect to the known mass polymerization technology of high-impact polystyrene (HI-PS), that is, reaction good reliability and the polymerization technique that carries out in stirring tank are simpler.In addition, it also is provided at and exceeds the possibility that azeotropic monomer composition scope is carried out copolymerization.
According to prior art, ABS industry solution method be by continuously feeding, entirely mix tandem reactor series that tank reactor (CSTR) forms, beat in round-robin annular-pipe reactor or the plug flow reactor (so-called tower reactor) by pump and to carry out continuously.Solution polymerization generally proceeds to incomplete conversion constipation bundle.Solvent, monomer and survival amount conditioning agent are separated by evaporation technique, and partly are recycled in the process.
In hitherto known solution methods, when polymerization began, solvent had been incorporated in the process.In the method for carrying out incessantly, a certain proportion of recovery monomer, molecular weight regulator and solvent, just circulation is returned and is incorporated in first step of reaction before rubber phase changes.Rubber phase changes a speech and is interpreted as a kind of like this process, and wherein, rubber phase changes interior disperse phase into by outer external phase, and simultaneously correspondingly, remaining then changes outer external phase into by interior disperse phase mutually.At prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of universal method for preparing impact modified polymkeric substance, can obtain the product that processing characteristics is better, surface dulling (degree) is lower or gloss is higher and rubber/toughness/hardness relation improves by this method.
Surprisingly, this purpose can realize by the following method for preparing impact modified polymkeric substance according to currently known methods: aromatic monomer and olefinically unsaturated nitriles monomer carry out polymerization in the presence of solvent and solubility rubber (particularly polybutadiene rubber), preferably press radical polymerization.Yet unlike the prior art, according to the present invention, this solvent (or multiple solvent) reaches up to transformation efficiency and just is incorporated in the process after being benchmark at least 6~about 30wt% in the initial monomers mixture.
Here, the adding of solvent is preferably implemented after rubber phase changes.
Have now found that, adopt the inventive method can change molecular weight distribution, grafting polybutadiene rubber particulate size-grade distribution and the graft(ing) degree (grafted-on content) of resin phase, make it to help processing characteristics, reduce surface dulling or improve gloss and improve rubber/toughness/hardness relation.
Monomer that reclaims and/or molecular weight regulator also can be introduced or circulate to turn back in the process and go together with solvent.This kind circulation suits from economy and ecological view, because at preparation method's terminal point, what described material obtained after separating from abs polymer is a kind of useless form.
In solution polymerization, reach the superiority that 6~30wt% just adds solvent later on up to transformation efficiency, especially at least three are connected in series reactor, preparing in the process of ABS by uninterrupted (continuously) method, show that the mono-alkenyl aromatic copolymer among this ABS comprises greater than 25wt% bonded olefinically unsaturated nitriles monomer.
The present invention can divide several stages to implement by the method that the non-aqueous solution polymerization prepares the ABS moulding compound of rubber impact modification, particularly is divided into following steps:
A) fs
A) 12~40 weight part olefinically unsaturated nitriles monomers or its mixture of equal value with
B) 88~60 weight part mono-alkenyl aromatic monomers or its mixture of equal value, wherein 0~30 weight part is replaceable be other and a) and b) copolymerization vinyl-, (methyl) acryloyl-, the Malaysia-, Fu Ma-(Furan-), clothing health-, indenes-or norbornylene-monomer, perhaps its mixture of equal value
Gel-frees 5~20 weight part solubilities, preferred, the ready-formed divinyl rubber in the presence of stir, this mixture utilizes free radical initiation carrying out solvent-free polymeric then, until monomer conversion reach with polymerization single polymerization monomer a) and b) sum is benchmark 6~30wt%, changes later state until rubber phase;
B) follow-up phase
Be metered into 10~200 parts by weight solvent or solvent mixture, randomly together with the monomer of other parts a) and b) and/or reclaim monomer a) and b), this polyreaction causes by free radical and under agitation proceeds then, reach until monomer conversion, with monomer a) and b) be benchmark 50~98wt%.
Spendable solvent be make resin maintain mutually in the solution, boiling point is between about 60~160 ℃ polymerization-inert organic compound, can use separately or in the presence of olefinically unsaturated nitriles is monomeric.This type of organic compound for example be benzene,toluene,xylene, ethylbenzene, chlorobenzene, the trimethyl carbinol, hexalin, pimelinketone, butanone, methyl propyl ketone, methyl just-or different-propyl group or-butyl ketone, a phenalgin, cyclopentanone, tetrahydrofuran (THF), dioxane, butylacetate, acetonitrile, propyl acetate or butyl ester, propionitrile and just-or isopropyl cyanide.Toluene, ethylbenzene, butanone and tetrahydrofuran (THF) are preferred.The isomer of solvent above-mentioned and/or mixture also can use.
This polymerization can be implemented by intermittent mode.This polymerization also can be pressed intermittent mode and be implemented on feed process.
Polymerization preferably incessantly (continuously) at least 3 placed in-line reactors in front and back, carry out, wherein first reactor of this multistage (multistage) process preferably Continuous Flow, mix tank reactor (CSTR) or beat the round-robin annular-pipe reactor entirely by pump, wherein operational stage can maintain the stable state monomer conversion of 6~30wt%.Be dissolved in rubber in the monomer and constitute external phase in the first solvent-free reaction stage charging.
Solvent or solvent mixture and any monomer segment of adding and/or recovery monomer and molecular weight regulator, be metered in this complete hybrid second step of reaction, preferably after rubber phase changes (beating in the round-robin annular-pipe reactor) at uninterrupted program: CSTR or by pump.Good thorough mixing, employing powerful mixing stirring component and/or utilization are installed in the on-line mixing device in the endless tube (loop), and utilize static mixer or utilize hybrid element movable and that rotate, and be for example known in the art, is vital.
In uninterrupted polymerization, what is called " finally " reactor that monomer conversion is until reaching desired final transformation efficiency---this numerical value can between 50~98%---, both can be to mix tank reactor entirely, beat the round-robin annular-pipe reactor by pump, also can be the plug flow character reactor, so-called " piston flow " or " tower reactor ".The prior art of relevant reactor is described in Gerrens, and " chemical engineering technology (Chem.Ing.Techn.) " is in 1980,52,477~488 (1980).
When monomer conversion reaches after 50~maximum 98%, can utilize conventional art to shift out solvent, residual monomer and other volatile constituents (oligopolymer and molecular weight regulator), for example at heat exchange vaporizer, flash evaporator, extrude in vaporizer, film or thin layer evaporator or the screw rod vaporizer, and randomly, reach after 6~30% at transformation efficiency, preferably after former continuous rubber phase has changed disperse phase into, be recycled to second and/or one of subsequent reactions stage in.
In preparation process, add with monomer a) and b) be traditional molecular weight regulator, for example mercaptan, allylic cpd, two poly alpha methylstyrenes and terpinolene of benchmark 0.01~about 1.5wt%.
Polyreaction is caused by free radical.Preferred low temperature dissociative grafting living radical initiator, particularly superoxide, for example peroxy carbonates, peroxide two carbonic ethers, peroxide diacyl, peroxy ketal, peroxy esters and peroxide dialkyl group and/or azo-compound or its mixture of using.The pivalate excessively of example, the particularly tertiary butyl, mistake octanoate, perbenzoate and mistake neodecanoic acid ester.The consumption of these initiators, with monomer a) and b) be that benchmark is between 0.01~1wt%.
This polymerization also can completely or partially be undertaken by thermal initiation free radical chain type polyreaction." thermal initiation ", for example as of the prior art, can be referring to K.Kirchner and K.Riedel, Angew.Makromol.Chem., 111,1~16 (1983).
When temperature is higher than about 130 ℃, will generate Diels-Alder adduct in the monomer mixture, it can produce free radical in contrary diene dissociation reaction, therefore the carrying out that can keep Raolical polymerizable.This technology that is known as " thermal initiation " especially can be used for the 3rd and any further step of reaction in.
Polyreaction is carried out in about 60~160 ℃ temperature.Proved that advantageously the first solvent-free reaction stage (transformation efficiency is between 6~30%) had been lower than 120 ℃, preferred 70~90 ℃ temperature is carried out.
Until the polymerization time that meets the requirements of final transformation efficiency is 2~12h, preferred 3~6h.
Conventional additive is dyestuff, oxidation inhibitor, lubricant such as hydrocarbon ils, stablizer and so on for example, can add between polymerization period or before the post-treatment.
Butadiene polymer solubility, gel-free is random and/or the polyhutadiene of block form and even star form and styrene/butadiene copolymers, its contents of ethylene, by two keys, between 2~40%, preferred 8~25%, molecular weight is between 10,000~500,000, the gel particles content that is insoluble to toluene is lower than 1,000ppm.
Ring-alkylated styrenes that aromatics mono-alkenyl compound preferably replaces on vinylbenzene, alpha-methyl styrene, the nuclear and nuclear are gone up the chloro-styrene that replaces.
Olefinically unsaturated nitriles is vinyl cyanide and methacrylonitrile preferably.
Comonomer for example is an acrylate, for example (methyl) methyl acrylate, (methyl) ethyl propenoate and (methyl) tert-butyl acrylate, rich horse and itaconic ester, maleic acid derivatives, the maleimide that replaces of maleic anhydride, maleic acid ester, N-for example, for example advantageously, the N-cyclohexyl-or N-phenyl-maleimide, the N-alkyl phenyl maleimide that replaces on the nuclear, vinylformic acid, methacrylic acid, (methyl) acrylamide, fumaric acid, methylene-succinic acid and acid amides thereof are arranged again.
But the present invention also provides the thermoplastic processing moulding compound by the inventive method preparation, and wherein rubber content is between 6~25wt%, and the preferred content of olefinically unsaturated nitriles monomer in the mono-alkenyl aromatic copolymer is greater than 25wt%.
The notable feature of product of the present invention is its high grafting rubbers degree, grafting content in the high rubber particles that deducts the quotient representation that rubber content obtains divided by rubber content again with gel content:
(gel content-rubber content)/(rubber content),
Wherein gel content is meant and is insoluble to rubber content proportion tetrahydrofuran (THF), crosslinked and that have grafted branches.
This quotient of product of the present invention is between 0.4~2.0.
Rubber particle size and distribute is determined by the turbidity of the dispersion of working sample in Texacar PC, adopt " particle size distribution analysis instrument CAPA 700 ", it by HORIBA (Europe) company (61449, Steinbach) make.

The phase structure of this ABS system can utilize Dynamic Analyzer (kinetic analyzer) RDAII (production of Rheometrics company) measure complex shear modulus in-150 ℃~200 ℃ scopes along with variation of temperature is determined.
The soft phase content that one skilled in the art will appreciate that mechanical activation among the ABS can be determined according to the area below the rubber/glass transition peak of loss factor tan δ under the room temperature or according to the modulus size.If rubber content is known, then be wrapped in styrol copolymer content (interior grafting) in the rubber particles just can determine thus.
This rubber particles is compared with the particle that comes autoreaction to add those methods of solvent at the very start, has the interior grafting content in the particle of being wrapped in of increase.In product of the present invention, gum content is increased to more than 1.5 times of original soft phase content because of the styrol copolymer content that is wrapped in the particle, and is preferred more than 1.7 times.
In addition, those skilled in the art also know, in the rubber particles owing to wrapped up the increase of soft phase content due to the styrene copolymerized object area, under the constant and suitable PSD of rubber content (size-grade distribution) condition, the absorption merit that will cause ABS under deformation tension force (for example, notched Izod impact strength) raising, that is, and the raising of rubber usefulness.
