Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the depolymerization of a deproteinized natural rubber in solution for the preparation of a modified polyisoprene comprising predominantly a mixture of the functionalized species at one of its two ends by one or more groups. functional and of the species functionalized at both ends by one or more functional groups.
- the invention also relates to the modified polyisoprene obtainable by this process.
- the invention relates to a rubber composition, usable especially for the manufacture of tires, based on one or more of the abovementioned modified polyisoprenes.
- a rubber composition reinforced with carbon black or other reinforcing filler and intended for the manufacture of tires must have specific mechanical and dynamic properties which allow the tire to obey a large number of technical requirements.
- This provides functionalized polymers which are less hysteretic than rubber compositions having unfunctionalized polymers.
- end-functionalized polymers may be prepared by anionic polymerization processes, for example, by initiating the polymerization of 1,3-butadiene with a functionalized initiator or by reacting a "living" anionic polymer with a functionalization agent.
- stereoregular polymers such as 1, 4-cis polydienes.
- Coordination catalysts also known as Ziegler-Natta catalysts
- lanthanide catalysts comprising a lanthanide compound, an alkylating agent, and a halogen-containing compound
- These catalysts can produce conjugated diene polymers having a cis-1,4 units ratio of greater than 97%.
- the 1,4-cis polydienes which are prepared by lanthanide catalyzed polymerization polymerization processes are known to possess pseudo-living polymer characteristics, i.e., some of the polymeric chains. possess reactive chain ends and are therefore potentially functionalizable.

- the solubilization of most of the natural rubbers in the organic solvent leads to the formation of a macrogel.
- the kinetics of depolymerization by metathesis and thus of functionalization of the polymer chains involved in the macrogel being much slower than that of the polymer chains being solubilised, the macrostructure and the function rate are not controllable, especially when the The depolymerization reaction is not far advanced, that is, when the number average magnetic masses are greater than 100 kg / m 2.

- FFF is a technique that separates macromolecules (very high molecular masses) according to their hydrodynamic volume.
- the principle is based on a laminar flow and a longitudinal flow through a channel.
- the separation is done using an orthogonal force which can be of different kinds (electric potential, magnetic field, liquid flow, ).
