Description

FUNCTIONALIZED PARA-ALOUILESTIRENE POLYMERS AND COPOLYMERS Field of the Invention This invention relates to copolymers functioning from para-alkylstyrene and an isoolefin.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION Polymers containing styrene, especially para-alkylstyrene copolymers and an isoolefin having from about 4 to 7 carbon atoms are well known in the art. In fact, the para-alkylestyrene and isobutylene copolymers are low Tg elastomers possessing low air permeability, unique buffering properties, excellent resistance to environmental aging and low surface energy which makes them particularly desirable in many applications. Unfortunately, these polymers also have low reactivity and low co-compatibility with most other polymers. In this way, there is a need to functionally hoist polymers and copolymers containing para-alkyl and styrene units with more compatible units for mixing. An object of the present invention, therefore, is to functionalize polymers containing para-alkyl styrene with reactants that allow the functionalized polymer to be co-geared or compatibilized with other polymers by grafting techniques. .
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Accordingly, the present invention provides a styrenically functional polymer or copolymer containing para-alkylated styrene functional moiety having the formula: wherein R1, R2 and R3 are independently selected from hydrogen, halide, alkyl and primary and secondary haloalkyl and R4 is selected from the group having the formula: - (A) -COOH, -C II -CH = CH-C00H wherein x is an integer from 2 to about 10, and is an integer ranging from 0 to about 20, and A is a linear hydrocarbyl group of 2 to about 10 carbon atoms or a branched hydrocarbyl group of 3 to about 10 carbon atoms. The novel copolymers of the present invention have particular utility in forming polymer blends. For example, the functional polymer reacted with acid can be used as a compatibilizer by reacting it with a polyol, polyane, or the like.
Detailed Description of the Invention Polymers containing para-alkylstyrene can be functionalized in accordance with the process of the present invention. Particularly polymers containing para-alkyl styrene suitable for functionalization are copolymers of a -isoolefin having from about 4 to 7 carbon atoms and a fraction of para-alkyl styrene represented by the formula R C-R, wherein R 1, R and R 3 are independently selected from hydrogen, halide, alkyl and primary and secondary haloalkyl groups. In the practice of the present invention, however - it is particularly preferred to use a copolymer of isobutylene and para-ethylstyrene. The above polymers are functionalized by reacting the para-alkylsterrene-containing polymer or copolymer with an acid anhydride, acylhalide or lactone in the presence of a Lewis acid. Particularly useful anhydrides include succinic, maleic and italic anhydrides. Particularly useful acylhalides include acetyl, isobutyryl and propionyl halides, especially chloride. Particularly useful lactones include gamma-butyrolactone, beta-butyrolactone, alpha-methyl-1-gamma-butyrolactone, beta-methyl-gamma-butyrolactone, gamma-valerolactone, delta-va-lero-lactone, epsi-lon-caprolactone. Any Lewis acid catalyst can be used-in preparing para-alkylated polystyrene-containing polymers; however, the preferred Lewis acid catalysts are based on metals such as boron, aluminum, gallium, indium, titanium, zirconium, tin, arsenic, antimony and bismuth. Especially preferred are halide-containing compounds of the foregoing metals, such as boron trifluoride, aluminum trihalide, aluminum dichloride and the like.
Typically, the functionalization will be carried out in the presence of a hydrocarbon diluent such as aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbons or in the presence of a polar solvent such as carbon disulfide, nitrobenzene, methylene chloride, 1,2-dichloroethane and the like. . It is particularly preferred - in the practice of the present invention to carry out the process in the presence of a solvent. Functionalization of the polymers will typically be carried out at temperatures of about -50 ° C to about 100 ° C, for sufficient time to add the functional group, i.e., alkylcarbonyl, alkyl or alkenylcarboxylic acid, aromatic ring of the polymer containing para-alkyne thyrene. The ratio of acylhalide, acid anhydride, or lactone to the styrenic units in the para-alkylaryl-containing polymer can vary widely. In general, however, from about 0.01 to 10 moles of acylhalide, acid anhydride or lacto per 1 mole of styrenic moieties in the para-alkylsterrene-containing polymer will be employed. In general, the acylhalide will have from 2 to about 14 carbon atoms, the acid anhydride will have from 4 to about 12 carbon atoms; and the lactone used will have from 3 to about 11 carbon atoms. The following examples illustrate the invention.
