The preparation technology of the low Mooney high-cis 1 rubber of nickel system
Technical field
The invention belongs to the Polymer Synthesizing field, relate to a kind of preparation method of low Mooney point high-cis 1 rubber.
Background technology
High-cis 1, the preparation method of 4-polybutadiene rubber (abbreviating cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber as) generally adopts solution polymerization process, with cobalt be, titanium system, nickel system, rare earth is that catalyst system makes 1,3-divinyl (being called for short Bd) polymerization, the nickel catalyst that industrial production adopts is the Ni-Al-B three-way catalyst, Ni is meant nickel naphthenate, nickel acetate, carboxylic acid nickel salts such as nickel octoate, Al is meant triisobutyl aluminium or triethyl aluminum, B is meant boron trifluoride ethyl ether complex or boron trifluoride ether complex, the aliphatic saturated hydrocarbon that polymer solvent is in a liquid state during for polymerization, aromatic hydrocarbons, naphthenic hydrocarbon or its mixture are raffinated oil as refinery, hexane, heptane, benzene or toluene.The mooney viscosity of prepared cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber is generally 40~50, because the processing characteristics of cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber is relatively poor, tackiness is bad, so the Rubber processing industry wishes to use the cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber of low mooney viscosity (generally 25~40) that above-mentioned performance is improved, and requires the intensity of low-mooney polybutadiene rubber not descend simultaneously.Low-mooney polybutadiene rubber is domestic not to have manufacturer and patented technology.
As everyone knows, mooney viscosity is a kind of rotation viscosity, is the rubber sample that records with mooney's viscosimeter to the resistivity of adding moment (promptly shear force square) with one's hands behind one's back, and this value can characterize the size of molecular weight rubber.The cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber for preparing different mooney viscosities is that the method by regulate polymer molecular weight in polymerization process realizes.
It is catalyzer that China's nickel polymerized BR production is adopted with nickel naphthenate-triisobutyl aluminium-boron trifluoride ethyl ether complex, to raffinate oil is the catalyst system of solvent, the mooney viscosity of the cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber of preparation is 40~50, adopt and regulate the Al/B ratio or add the molecular weight that an amount of water is regulated cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber, but because that nickel is the scope of application of catalyst system Al/B ratio is narrower, and system is very responsive to water, therefore, under existence conditions by regulate Al/B than or add the molecular weight that an amount of water can only trace be regulated cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber, it is 25~40 cis-1,4-polybutadiene rubber that existing system is not suitable for preparing mooney viscosity.
In polymerization system, add the molecular weight regulator molecular weight of telomerized polymer easily, the clear 46-7708 report of Japan's special permission, the conditioning agent that can reduce molecular weight has alkynes, as propylacetylene, ethylacetylene, vinylacetylene, phenylacetylene etc., and alkene such as divinyl dimer, hydrogen, ethene, propylene, cyclooctadiene also can reduce molecular weight.U.S. Goodyear company has studied halogenated phenols and had the effect that reduces cis 1 molecular weight and widen its molecular weight distribution in the Ni catalyst system in patent U.S.5100982 (1992).The high-cis 1 that U.S. Goodyear company reports in patent EP0093073 (1983), the control method of the molecular weight of 4-polyhutadiene is to adopt the catalyzer of forming with organic nickel compound, organo-aluminium compound and HF or HF and ketone, ester, aldehyde, ether, alcohol, phenol, water bonded complex compound in the solvent of aliphatics or cycloaliphatic, is carrying out the polymericular weight adjusting in the presence of a small amount of alpha-olefin such as ethene, propylene.And Japan special permission clear 40-13072, clear 41-3640, clear 44-27824, clear 42-4985, clear 44-19260 and U.S.Pat., 3487063 (1970) reports add alcohol, naphthalene, phenols, CS in polymerization system
2, CO
2, water and chelate compound etc., the effect of the molecular weight that is improved.
The size of the molecular weight of polymkeric substance is the tensile strength of impact polymer directly, and general polymerization thing molecular weight reduces to make the polymkeric substance tensile strength to reduce.The low molecular weight polybutadiene weak point that adopts above-mentioned technology to prepare causes the decline of polymer strength when being the polyhutadiene molecular weight is reduced, and all publications are all reported the intensity that how to improve low-mooney polybutadiene rubber.
