Definitions
- This invention relates to polymer compositions.
- the invention relates to polymer compositions comprising at least one extender while in another aspect, the invention relates to polymer compositions in which the extender is an ethylene/ -olefin copolymer.
- the invention relates to polymer compositions in which the. extender is a homogeneously branched ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymer, preferably a substantially linear ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymer.
- thermoplastic elastomeric compositions include thermoplastic urethanes, thermoplastic polyesters, polypropylenes, chlorinated polyethylenes, ethylene/propylene rubbers, crosslinked and uncrosslinked EPDMs (ethylene/propylene/diene) rubbers and styrene block copolymers. While some of these compositions are more expensive to manufacture than others, the value of all in many applications is enhanced if they can be compounded with one or more relatively inexpensive, inert extenders that do not significantly decrease the required performance of the composition.
- styrene block copolymers styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS), styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS), and styrene-ethylene-butene-styrene (SEBS)
- SIS styrene-isoprene-styrene
- SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene
- SEBS styrene-ethylene-butene-styrene
- SIS styrene-isoprene-styrene
- SBS styrene-butadiene-styrene
- SEBS styrene-ethylene-butene-styrene
- Styrene block copolymers are available with linear, diblock, triblock and radial molecular structures.
- Each polymer molecule consists of a hard styrenic block segment and a rubber or elastomer monomer block segment.
- the rubber segment may consist of saturated or unsaturated monomer units such as ethylene/butene, ethylene/propylene, butadiene, or isoprene.
- Waxes are low molecular weight, highly crystalline materials. While they decrease melt viscosity, they also increase stiffiiess and rigidity in the final solidified formulation, which can lead to a profound loss of elastic properties, in particular elongation at break.
- Mineral oils are liquids, which maintain or improve softness, flexibility and elongation while improving processability. Unfortunately addition of oil often results in a loss of strength at break or loss of modulus of elasticity.
- USP 5,093,422 and 5,260,126 describe the use of polyethylene as a processing aid for styrene block copolymers.
- the polyethylene of choice is manufactured by Equistar Chemical Company under the trade designation PetrotheneTM NA 601. This polyethylene is described as having a density of 0.903 g/cc and a melt index (MI) of 2,000 g/10 min.
- USP 6,184,290, 6,184,291 and 6,218,470 describe a substantially inert extender for styrene block copolymers comprising a homogeneously branched, preferably a substantially linear, ethylene/1-octene interpolymer with a density between 0.855 to 0.905 g/cc and a MI of between 0.1 to 100 g/10 min. While effective, these extenders tend to increase stiffness of the elastomer blend particularly at low elongation, which, in turn, compromises the utility of the blends for film and fiber applications.
- the industry has a continuing interest in identifying extenders and processing aids that not only reduce the viscosity of the base polymer (be it a styrene block copolymer or a polyester or one or more other thermoplastic polymers), to an efficient processing range, but that also imparts to the processed resin a desired range of physical and chemical properties, (including softness to the touch).
- thermoplastic polymer and at least one substantially inert extender are blended with one another such that the resulting composition is a thermoplastic composition having essentially the same elastic and/or hardness properties as the thermoplastic polymer component of the composition.
- the preferred substantially inert extenders are homogeneously branched ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymers with a density of less than or equal to 0.899 g/cc and a Brookfield viscosity of at least 500 cPs (350°F).
- thermoplastic polymer can be used in the practice of this invention, and representative polymers include the natural or synthetic resins such as, but are not limited to, styrene block copolymers, rubbers, linear low density polyethylene (LLDPE), high density polyethylene (HDPE), low density polyethylene (LDPE), ethylene/vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymer, ethylene-carboxylic acid copolymers (EAA), ethylene acrylate copolymers, polybutylene, polybutadiene, nylons, polycarbonates, polyesters, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene interpolymers such as ethylene- propylene rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubbers, chlorinated polyethylene, thermoplastic vulcanizates, ethylene ethylacrylate polymers (EEA), ethylene styrene interpolymers (ESI), polyurethanes, as well as graft-modified olefin polymers, and combinations of two or more of
- the thermoplastic, elastomeric composition comprises (i) from 1 to 99% by weight of the total composition of at least one thermoplastic polymer, and (ii) from 99 to 1% by weight of the total composition of at least one homogeneously branched, ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymer in which the interpolymer has a density of less than 0.899 g/cc and a Brookfield viscosity of at least 500 cP (350°F).
- the thermoplastic, elastomeric composition comprises (i) from 50 to 99% by weight of the total composition of at least one styrene block copolymer, and (ii) from 1 to 50% by weight of the total composition of an extender comprising at least one substantially linear ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymer.
- the interpolymer has a density less than or equal to 0.899 g/cc and a MI of at least 100 g/10 min.
- the preferred interpolymer is substantially linear ethylene/1- octene.
- thermoplastic elastomeric compositions of the present invention can also be combined with other natural or synthetic resins to improve other properties.
- suitable natural or synthetic resins include, but are not limited to, rubbers, natural or synthetic waxes, including, but not limited to, ABS, parrafinic or other natural or synthetic waxes and the various so called "Fischer-Tropsch waxes, LLDPE, HDPE, LDPE, EVA, ethylene-carboxylic acid copolymers, EAA, ethylene acrylate copolymers, polybutylene, polybutadiene, polystyrene, PET, thermoplastic epoxy, nylons, polycarbonates, polyesters, polypropylene, ethylene-propylene interpolymers such as ethylene-propylene rubber, ethylene-propylene-diene monomer rubber, chlorinated polyethylene, thermoplastic vulcanizates, EEA, ESI, polyurethanes, as well as graft-modified olef ⁇ n polymers,
- the extender is used to further modify an existing thermoplastic polyolefin ("TPO") comprising a thermoplastic polymer and a low density, low melt flow elastomer.
- TPO thermoplastic polyolefin
- This resulting novel blend possesses both increased compound melt flow and improved impact resistance while retaining the other performance properties.
- the invention is a method of making a fabricated article, preferably in the form of a film, fiber or molding, from the thermoplastic elastomeric composition.
- the extender is used as a compounding ingredients or additives for asphalt modifications for crack repairing and roofing, polymer processing, impact and surface modifications, sealant and adhesive formulations, oil gel viscosity modifications, and rubber extender/binder compounding.

- Polymer means a macromolecular compound prepared by polymerizing monomers of the same or different type.
- Polymer includes homopolymers, copolymers, terpolymers, interpolymers, and so on.
- interpolymer means a polymer prepared by the polymerization of at least two types of monomers and comonomers.
- copolymers which usually refer to polymers prepared from two or more different monomers or comonomers
- terpolymers which usually refers to polymers prepared from three different types of monomers or comonomers
- tetrapolymers which usually refers to polymers prepared from four different types of monomers or comonomers.
- the term "monomer” or “comonomer” refers to any compound with a polymerizable moiety, which is added to a reactor in order to produce a polymer.
- thermoplastic polymer or “thermoplastic composition” and similar terms mean a polymer or polymer composition that is substantially thermally extrudable or deformable albeit relatively aggressive conditions may be required.
- Extender inert extender
- substantially inert extender and similar terms are used interchangeably herein and mean a thermoplastic polymer, preferably a thermoplastic elastomer, that at specified addition amounts improves processability and low temperature impact properties.
- Suitable substantially inert thermoelastic extenders for use in preparing the thermoplastic compositions of the present invention are homogeneously branched ethylene interpolymers, and more preferably substantially linear, homogeneously branched ethylene interpolymers.
- the ethylene interpolymers comprise at least one C 3 -C 2 o ⁇ -olefin.
- LLDPE ultra low density polyethylene
- NLDPE very low density polyethylene
- LNLDPE linear very low density polyethylene
- LLDPE linear low density polyethylene
- heteropolymer and “heterogeneously branched” are used in the conventional sense, and refer to a linear ethylene interpolymer where (1) the ⁇ -olefin comonomer is not randomly distributed within a given polymer molecule, (2) substantially all of the polymer molecules do not have the same ethylene-to- comonomer ratio, and (3) the interpolymer typically exhibits a measurable high density (crystalline) polymer fraction as measured by known fractionation techniques such as, for example, a method that involves polymer fractional elutions as a function of temperature.
- heterogeneously branched linear interpolymers include ATTANE* ULDPE polymers (a product and trademark of The Dow Chemical Company) and FLEXOMERTM NLDPE polymers (a product and trademark of Union Carbide Corporation, a Subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company).
- ATTANE* ULDPE polymers a product and trademark of The Dow Chemical Company
- FLEXOMERTM NLDPE polymers a product and trademark of Union Carbide Corporation, a Subsidiary of The Dow Chemical Company.
- heterogeneously branched ethylene interpolymers can be used as the thermoplastic polymer component of the thermoplastic compositions of this invention, they are not used as the substantially inert extender component of the present invention.
- “Homogeneously branched” means that in an ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymer (1) the ⁇ -olefin comonomer is randomly distributed within a given polymer molecule, (2) substantially all of the polymer molecules have the same ethylene-to-comonomer ratio, and (3) the interpolymer essentially lacks a measurable high density (crystalline) polymer fraction as measured by known fractionation techniques such as, for example, a method that involves polymer fractional elutions as a function of temperature.
- the homogeneously branched linear ethylene interpolymers useful for admixing with the thermoplastic polymers to prepare the thermoplastic compositions of the present invention are ethylene polymers which do not have long chain branching, but do have short chain branches derived from the comonomer polymerized into the interpolymer which are homogeneously distributed both within the same polymer chain and between different polymer chains. That is, homogeneously branched linear ethylene interpolymers have an absence of long chain branching just as is the case for the linear low density polyethylene polymers or linear high density polyethylene polymers made using uniform branching distribution polymerization processes as described, for example, by Elston in USP No. 3,645,992.
- the homogeneously branched linear ethylene interpolymer is not the high pressure, free-radical initiated polyethylene which is well-known to those skilled in the art to have numerous long chain branches, nor is it the traditional heterogeneously branched linear low density polyethylene.
- homogeneously branched linear ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymers can be prepared in conventional polymerization processes using Ziegler-type catalysts such as, for example, zirconium and vanadium catalyst systems, as well as using metallocene catalyst systems such as, for example, those based on hafnium.
- Ziegler-type catalysts such as, for example, zirconium and vanadium catalyst systems
- metallocene catalyst systems such as, for example, those based on hafnium.
- Ewen et al. USP 4,937,299 and Tsutsui et al. USP 5,218,071 are illustrative.
- homogeneously branched linear ethylene/ ⁇ -olefin interpolymers include TAFMERTM polymers supplied by the Mitsui Chemical Company and EXACTTM polymers supplied by Exxon Chemical Company.
- the homogeneously branched substantially linear ethylene interpolymers used in the present invention are described in USP 5,272,236 and 5,278,272, 6,054,544 and 6,335,410 Bl.
- the substantially linear ethylene interpolymers useful for inertly extending thermoplastic polymers are those in which the comonomer is randomly distributed within a given interpolymer molecule and in which substantially all of the interpolymer molecules have the same ethylene/comonomer ratio within that interpolymer.
- the substantially linear ethylene interpolymers used in the present invention form a unique class of homogeneously branched ethylene polymers. They differ substantially from the well-known class of conventional homogeneously branched linear ethylene interpolymers described by Elston in USP 3,645,992 and, moreover, they are not in the same class as conventional heterogeneous Ziegler catalyst polymerized linear ethylene polymers (for example, ULDPE, LLDPE or HDPE made, for example, using the technique disclosed by Anderson et al.
- Substantially linear ethylene interpolymers are homogeneously branched ethylene polymers having long chain branching.
- the long chain branches have the same comonomer distribution as the polymer backbone and can have about the same length as the length of the polymer backbone.
- “Substantially linear” means that the bulk polymer is substituted, on average, with 0.01 long chain branches/1000 total carbons (including both backbone and branch carbons) to 3 long chain branches/1000 total carbons.
- Preferred polymers are substituted with 0.01 long chain branches/1000 total carbons to 1 long chain branch/1000 total carbons, more preferably from 0.05 long chain branches/1000 total carbons to 1 long chain branch/1000 total carbons, and especially from 0.3 long chain branches/1000 total carbons to 1 long chain branch/1000 total carbons.
- Backbone refers to a discrete molecule
- polymer or “bulk polymer” refers in the conventional sense to the polymer as formed in a reactor.
- the polymer must have at least enough molecules with long chain branching such that the average long chain branching in the bulk polymer is at least an average of 0.01 long chain branches/1000 total carbons.
- “Bulk” polymer means the polymer which results from the polymerization process and, for the substantially linear polymers, includes molecules having both an absence of long chain branching, as well as molecules having long chain branching. Thus a “bulk” polymer includes all molecules formed during polymerization. For substantially linear polymers, not all molecules have long chain branching, but a sufficient amount do such that the average long chain branching content of the bulk polymer positively effects the melt rheology (that is, the melt fracture properties).
- “Long chain branching (LCB)” can be determined by conventional techniques known in the industry such as 13 C nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy using, for example, the method of Randall (Rev. Macromol. Chem. Phys., C29 (2&3), p.
- the long chain branch is longer than the short chain branch that results from the incorporation of the ⁇ -olefin(s) into the polymer backbone.
- the empirical effect of the presence of long chain branching in the substantial linear ethylene interpolymers used in the invention is manifested as enhanced rheological properties which are quantified and expressed herein in terms of gas extrusion rheometry (GER) results and/or melt flow, ollz, increases.
- GER gas extrusion rheometry
- homogeneously branched linear ethylene polymer In contrast to “ homogeneously branched substantially linear ethylene polymer”, “ homogeneously branched linear ethylene polymer” means that the polymer lacks measurable or demonstrable long chain branches, that is, the polymer is substituted with an average of less than 0.01 long branch/ 1000 total carbons.
- Suitable unsaturated comonomers useful for polymerizing with ethylene to prepare homogeneously branched ethylene interpolymers are ethylenically unsaturated monomers.
- Such comonomers are C 3 -C 2 o ⁇ -olefins such as propylene, isobutylene, 1 butene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-l-pentene, 1-heptene, 1-octene, 1-nonene, 1-decene.
- Preferred comonomers include propylene, 1-butene, 1-hexene, 4-methyl-l-pentene and 1-octene, with the latter especially preferred.
- Other monomers that can be polymerized with ethylene in addition to the at least one C 3 -C 2 o ⁇ -olefin include styrene, halo- or alkyl-substituted styrenes, tetrafluoroethylenes, vinylbenzocyclobutanes, butadienes, isoprenes, pentadienes, hexadienes, octadienes, and cycloalkenes, for example, cyclopentene, cyclohexene and cyclooctene.
- the homogeneously branched ethylene interpolymer is a copolymer in which ethylene is copolymerized with one C 3 - C 2 o ⁇ -olefin.
- the homogeneously branched ethylene interpolymer is a copolymer of ethylene and 1-octene.
- the density- of the ethylene interpolymers used as the substantially inert extender in the present invention is generally in the range from 0.855 to 0.899 g/cc, preferably 0.860 to 0.885 g/cc, more preferably 0.865 to 0.885 g/cc. At densities above 0.899 g/cc (in combination with the required MI range), ethylene interpolymers are generally nonelastomeric.
- the Brookfield viscosity of the ethylene interpolymers used as the substantially inert extender in the practice of this invention is greater than or equal to 500 cP's and typically between 500 and 90,000, preferably between 3,000 and 70,000 and more preferably between 4,000 and 50,000 cP (350°F). The viscosity is measured in a conventional manner as exemplified later in this document.
- the molecular weight distribution of the ethylene interpolymers used as the substantially inert extender in the present invention are determined by gel permeation chromatography (GPC) on a Waters 150 high temperature chromatographic unit equipped with a differential refractometer and three columns of mixed porosity.
- the columns are supplied by Polymer Laboratories and are commonly packed with pore sizes of 10 3 ,10 4 ,10 5 and 10 6 A.
- the solvent is 1,2,4-trichlorobenzene, from which 0.3 percent by weight solutions of the interpolymer samples are prepared for injection.
- the flow rate is 1.0 milliliter/minute and the operating temperature is 140°C with a 100- microliter injection size.
- the molecular weight determination with respect to the polymer backbone is deduced by using narrow molecular weight distribution polystyrene standards (from Polymer Laboratories) in conjunction with their elution volumes.
- the equivalent polyethylene molecular weights are determined by using appropriate Mark-Houwink coefficients for polyethylene and polystyrene (as described by Williams and Ward in Journal of Polymer Science, Polymer Letters, Vol. 6, p. 621, 1968) to derive the following equation: Mpolyethylene — & ( -polystyrene) •
- Number average molecular weight, M n of a polymer is expressed as the first moment of a plot of the number of molecules in each molecular weight range against the molecular weight. In effect, this is the total molecular weight of all molecules divided by the number of molecules and is calculated in the usual manner according to the following formula:
- the M w /M n is from 1.5 to 3.0, preferably between 1.5 and 2.5.

- the complex viscosity shows very little variation as the extender level is increased from 0 wt% to 20 wt%, except the complex viscosity value dips a little at the 5 wt% and 10 wt% levels before increasing again at the 20 wt% level of extender.
- flexural modulus decreases gradually as the extender level is increased.
- the Izod Impact data show an unexpected improvement in that, for both room temperature (25C) and low temperature (-20C), the extender causes the Izod Impact to peak at 5 wt% level of extender.

- a series of blends of of engineering thermoplastic resins such as PET, nylon-6,6 and polycarbonate with Extender 2 were made using a Haake bowl mixer, Rheomix 600, of 69 ml. capacity.
- the PET was grade C88 obtainable from The Dow Chemical Company
- the Polycarbonate was CALIBRETM 200-3 (a product and registered trademark of The Dow Chemical Company).
- the blends were made with the bowl preheated to 270°C with a rotor speed of 50 rpm.
- the engineering thermoplastics were placed in a vacuum oven at 140°C for 2 days prior to use to dry the resins of any moisture. A slight nitrogen sweep was used to assist in moisture removal.
- the blends were made by first adding the engineering thermoplastics to the preheated rotating bowl followed quickly by the Extender. The ram was then lowered to seal the bowl, while melt blending occurred, which was allowed to continue for eight minutes following initial resin addition. The temperature, rotor speed, and melt torque was graphically monitored. After initial melting all blends exhibited zero torque. After eight minutes of mixing the rotors were stopped, the bowl was disassembled, and the polymer blend was removed and flattened. The nylon blends became rigid more quickly and were difficult to flatten. Table 8 shows the composition of three blends and Table 9 the corresponding blend properties.
