SEBS of a kind of polar and preparation method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to SEBS of a kind of polar and preparation method thereof.
Background technology
Hydrogenated styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (SEBS) is a kind of novel thermoplastic elastomer, and it is the new modified elastomerics that rubber segments polyhutadiene unsaturated double-bond makes through selecting hydrogenation in styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer (SBS) molecule.SBS behind the hydrogenation in the middle of it polybutadiene block become SEBS with regard to the random copolymerization section that changes into ethene and butene-1.Compare with SBS, SEBS has excellent ageing-resistant performance, thermotolerance and stability, can be widely used in and produce high-grade elastomerics, modifying plastics, the stopping composition of electric wire and sheath material etc., but it is as a kind of non-polar material, uses in some field to be restricted, during particularly as plastic modifier and the polar polymer consistency relatively poor.In order to improve this shortcoming, improve the polarity of SEBS, patent EP0743330 adopts dilithium initiator, after the SBS polymerization is finished, cooling, add after the agent of attaching the names of pre-determined candidates attaches the names of pre-determined candidates, but polar monomer (methyl) esters of acrylic acid that adds anionoid polymerization again is-78 ℃ of polymerizations, contain polarity segmental polarity S BS thereby make two ends, more this polarity S BS carried out selective hydrogenation and make and contain polarity segmental SEBS, it adopted in the production process of SEBS, directly carry out polar-modified, but its polar-modified condition harshness, polymer concentration is low, and suitability for industrialized production yields poorly, the production cost height; In addition, extensively the post-modification method that adopts is the toxilic acid anhydridization of sulfonation, acetylize, carboxylation, chloromethylation, methylolation and EB section in the PS section, the esterification of esters of acrylic acid etc., carries out free radical initiation grafting modification by copolymerization.As (" SCIs " 1997 such as Jiang Ming, 18 (2), 309-312) sulfonation modifying, (" SCI " 1995 such as Shen Chong are carried out in employing on the phenyl ring of SEBS, 20 (5), 827-829) studied chloromethylation and hydroxymethylation on the SEBS phenyl ring; Guo Yan etc. (88-91) studied and utilize Banbury mixer to carry out SEBS grafted maleic anhydride reaction by " polymer material science and engineering " 2003,19 (6); (" polymer science and engineering " 2003 such as Liu Chengmei, 19 (5), 54-56) studied with solution graft copolymerization vinylformic acid and carried out the polar modification, (" synthetic resins and plastics " 2003 such as Wang Xiaolan, 20 (4), 51-55) studied with twin screw reaction extrusion molding glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) has been grafted to SEBS; This post-modification method exists monomer conversion low, and product is easily crosslinked, complex process, shortcomings such as cost height.
Summary of the invention
The object of the present invention is to provide and a kind ofly in the building-up process of SEBS, directly carry out the polar modification and obtain SEBS of polar and preparation method thereof.
The present invention selects for use vinyl pyridine class and methyl acrylic ester etc. can carry out the polar monomer of active anionic polymerization as properties-correcting agent, in the SEBS production process, after the SBS three stage polymerization is intact, the polar monomer that adds the carried out active anionic polymerization of 0.1% ∽ 30% is proceeded polymerization, thereby make end and contain one section polar monomer segmental polarity S BS, again this polarity S BS is proceeded selective hydrogenation, contain polarity segmental SEBS thereby make, the degree of hydrogenation of conjugated diolefine section is greater than 95%.
The SEBS of polar provided by the invention is a kind of Tetrablock copolymer, its structure can be represented with SEBS-P, wherein S represents polystyrene block, EB represents the hydrogenated diblock of polyhutadiene, P represents polar block, and polar block is obtained by vinyl pyridine class, the polymerization of methyl acrylic ester polar monomer.
Vinyl pyridine class polar monomer comprises 2-vinyl pyridine, 4-vinylpridine and isomer thereof, its chemical structural formula such as figure below:
