Description

Functionalized vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer composition, method of preparing the same and asphalt composition comprising the same}

The present invention relates to a functionalized vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer composition, a method for preparing the same, and an asphalt composition comprising the same. More specifically, the functionalized vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer composition is functionalized without lowering the molecular weight and has excellent compatibility with asphalt. A functionalized vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer composition having an effect of improving the dissolution rate of the composition and improving physical properties of the low temperature elongation and softening point of the asphalt composition, a preparation method thereof, and an asphalt composition comprising the same.

Block copolymers are widely used as modifiers to improve the physical properties of asphalt compositions, or impact modifiers of other resins. In particular, vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymers are frequently used as asphalt modifiers. The dissolution of vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymers in asphalt at high temperatures is time consuming and expensive. Therefore, the most important physical property of the block copolymer used as the asphalt modifier is compatibility with asphalt. Excellent compatibility with asphalt can shorten processing time and improve physical properties.

Asphalt is composed of four components, among which the least compatible with the block copolymer is asphaltenes. Asphaltene is an aggregate of aromatic hydrocarbons, and thus contains a large number of hydrophilic functional groups at its terminals, and thus is poor in compatibility with block copolymers having no hydrophilic functional groups. Thus, asphaltene is a component that greatly prolongs the processing time or production time of the asphalt composition.

Therefore, many studies have been conducted to introduce hydrophilic functional groups into the block copolymer in order to improve compatibility with asphalt. Typical among them is a method of mixing a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer and a hydrophilic monomer at a high temperature in an extruder to introduce a hydrophilic functional group into the branches of the block copolymer.

However, this method requires additional installation of expensive manufacturing equipment, and also has a limitation in that uniform functionalization in the block copolymer is difficult. In particular, the block copolymer made of vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene may be partially oxidized at high temperature and high pressure in the extruder, and also the breakage of the polymer chain occurs mainly, resulting in a decrease in molecular weight and severe degradation of physical properties.

Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop a block copolymer for asphalt modifiers having excellent compatibility and functionalization without lowering the molecular weight.

In order to solve the problems of the prior art as described above, the present invention is functionalized without lowering the molecular weight, and excellent compatibility with asphalt, having the effect of improving the dissolution rate of the asphalt composition, and at the same time low temperature elongation and softening point of the asphalt composition An object of the present invention is to provide a functionalized vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer composition having improved physical properties, a method for preparing the same, and an asphalt composition comprising the same.

These and other objects of the present invention can be achieved by the present invention described below.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene diblock copolymer having an aldehyde group bonded to a main chain of a conjugated diene block and a vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene having an aldehyde group bonded to a main chain of a conjugated diene block. Provided is a functionalized vinyl aromatic hydrocarbon-conjugated diene block copolymer composition, a method for preparing the same, and an asphalt composition comprising the multiblock copolymer.

As described above, according to the present invention, functionalized without lowering the molecular weight, excellent compatibility with asphalt, significantly shortened the processing time of the asphalt composition, and also greatly improved low temperature elongation and softening point of the asphalt composition. There is an effect of providing a vinylated hydrocarbon aromatic-conjugated diene block copolymer composition, a preparation method thereof and an asphalt composition comprising the same.

1 is a micrograph of the state in which the functionalized block copolymer is not completely dissolved and the state in which the functionalized block copolymer is completely dissolved in the asphalt composition of the present invention at 400 times magnification.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail.

The present inventors can significantly improve the solubility in the production of modified asphalt including hydroformylated styrene-butadiene block copolymers, and can significantly shorten the dissolution time by 20% compared to the conventional styrene-butadiene block copolymers. In addition, the low temperature elongation properties and storage stability of the polymer modified asphalt (polymer modified asphalt) is confirmed that the other properties are maintained, and based on this, the present invention has been completed. In particular, when the styrene-butadiene block copolymer has an aldehyde group of less than 50ppm to less than 1,600ppm based on its mass, dissolution time is reduced by 20% compared with the conventional one when producing modified asphalt. This property can be demonstrated by observing the phase separation of the modified asphalt. Phase separation is a phenomenon in which the styrene-butadiene block copolymer is divided into an upper layer containing a large amount of styrene-butadiene block copolymer and a lower layer containing a small amount due to the incompatibility between the asphalt and the styrene-butadiene block copolymer. The presence or absence of such a phenomenon can be seen by the difference between the softening point of the upper layer and the lower layer of the modified asphalt, which was left at 163 ° C for 48 hours. The modified asphalt, in which the first two components are completely dissolved, has a difference in softening point between the upper and lower layers of 2 ° C or less. For modified asphalts using hydroformylated styrene-butadiene block copolymers, a total dissolution time of 9 hours is required before passing the phase separation test, but 11 hours of conventional styrene-butadiene block copolymers are required. Dissolution time is required.

The properties of the block copolymer or asphalt composition prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were measured by the following method, and the results are shown in Table 2 below.

* Softening point-measured according to ASTM D36.

* Elongation at low temperature-After leaving the specimen for 1 hour at 5 ℃, measure according to ASTM D113.

Storage stability-Sampled by the method of American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO PP5) to measure the softening point by the ASTM D36 method. In more detail, 50 g of asphalt composition in an aluminum tube was improved, and After leaving for 48 hours in the oven, take out and divide into three parts to measure the softening point of the upper and lower parts and measure the temperature difference. The smaller the temperature difference, the better the storage stability, and usually does not occur when the phase separation within 2.5 ℃.

* Content of aldehyde group (ppm)-Each sample was dissolved in 1,1,2,2-ethane tetrachloride-d 2 and loaded onto 500 MHz 1 H NMR (Varian, Model: VNMRS500), followed by 9.75 The content of each aldehyde group was calculated using the following equation 1 from values obtained from peaks near ppm.

[Equation 1]

Hydrogen number of aldehyde group = (aldehyde group content (ppm) * block copolymer molecular weight (-> 110,000 g / mol) / 1,000,000 / 56 g / mol (-> CH-CH (CHO)-))

* Weight average molecular weight (g / mol)-Dissolve each sample in THF for 30 minutes, load it into GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography, manufacturer: Waters), and flow it, then standard of PS (Polystyrene) standard The molecular weight was measured in comparison with the molecular weight.

As shown in Table 2, in the case of preparing a mixture of styrene-butadiene diblock copolymer and styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer in a weight ratio of 10 to 30:70 to 90 and functionalizing it with an aldehyde according to the present invention The dissolution rate was shortened from 1 hour to 3 hours based on the existing 10 hours, and the low temperature elongation properties were improved from 200 mm to 250 mm. In Comparative Example 1, which is 100% by weight of styrene-butadiene diblock copolymer, the preparation time is 5 hours faster, but the low temperature property or softening point is reduced by more than 50%, which is very bad, and 100% by weight of styrene-butadiene-styrene triblock copolymer In the case of Phosphorus Comparative Example 2, the low temperature property and the softening point are increased slightly (10%), and the physical properties are maintained, but it can be seen that there is no effect of improving the dissolution rate by showing a similar dissolution rate. By functionalizing the aldehyde group, which is a polar molecule in the styrene-butadiene copolymer, in the butadiene block, the solubility was increased to reduce the manufacturing time by 20% or more, and the low temperature elongation in the physical properties of the asphalt was improved by 20% or more.
