Description

Wide-distribution polybutadiene-isoprene rubber and preparation method thereof
Technical Field

Background
BR-9000 in the prior art is a common tire sizing material, but has Tg= -100 ℃, regular polymer molecular chain height and strong crystallization tendency, starts to harden at minus 35 ℃ and easily loses elasticity, and the rubber for the belt layer, the sidewall and other parts of the tire is usually used together with BR, so that the prepared tire is easy to crack due to incompatibility of the Natural Rubber (NR) and BR, and the service life of the tire is influenced.
The trans-butadiene-isoprene rubber (TBIR) has lower crystallization melting point and crystallinity, lower TIR and obviously improved processability, is a novel elastomer material, and can be widely used for tire treads, sidewalls, inner liners and belt ply rubbers.
The catalyst system used for preparing polybutadiene-isoprene (BIR) rubber comprises transition metal, lithium system, rare earth and the like. TBIR prepared by the Ti-Mg coordination catalyst system has low compression heat generation, fatigue resistance, tear resistance, wear resistance and low noise, and the raw rubber strength is also very outstanding, so that the TBIR is an ideal rubber material for high-performance tires, and the defects are that the monomer conversion rate is less than 70 percent and the self-adhesion of raw rubber is low; in the existing lithium-based catalysis in BIR synthesis, as the polymerization temperature increases, butyl is reactedThe 1, 4-addition content of diene and isoprene is increased, the content of 1, 2-and 3, 4-addition products is reduced, but the molecular mass distribution of the polymer is too narrow, the raw rubber strength is low, the cold flow is large, the processability is poor, and the like. As described in US5405927, isoprene-butadiene copolymers synthesized by organolithium/barium salt catalysis, the melting point of the copolymer decreases with increasing isoprene content in the monomer and can be stretch crystallized, thus increasing the green strength and tackiness, which is suitable for tread compounds for tires. In addition, british patent GB2029426 and US4413089 describe random or block copolymers obtained by copolymerizing butadiene and isoprene catalyzed by barium salt-tributyl magnesium lithium/trialkyl aluminum, which have a mooney viscosity of 59, a molecular weight distribution d=1.46, and good processability and green tack of the polymer, and can be used in combination with natural rubber NR. EP629640 reports that the cis-form content of both monomers can reach more than 96% by adopting rare earth to catalyze the copolymerization of butadiene and isoprene, and that the two monomers are ideal random copolymerization, r in the system bd =1.09,r Ip =1.32, the ratio of the two ratios is close to 1, the Tg of the polymer is-73 ℃. Chinese patent CN105985487a discloses a butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber modified by functionalization at both ends of a macromolecular chain, and uses a functionalization initiator and a capping agent to share, so that both ends of the molecular chain contain different functional groups and have good binding force with carbon black/white carbon black, so that the copolymer rubber can effectively participate in elastic recovery of the whole cross-linking network, reduce energy loss in periodic deformation, improve heat generation and rolling resistance, but the functionalization initiator is unstable, easy to inactivate, difficult to prepare and the like. Chinese patent CN103387641A describes a trans-1, 4-structure butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber and a preparation method thereof, in particular MgCl 2 A Ziegler-Natta catalyst system consisting of supported titanium and an organic aluminum compound catalyzes butadiene and isoprene to synthesize butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber with a trans-1, 4-structure of more than 90%, wherein the copolymer rubber consists of 20-99.5% of isoprene units and 0.5-80% of butadiene units in a mole fraction. The preparation process of the trans-copolymerized rubber includes fixing the feeding ratio of butadiene to isoprene and catalyzing butadiene at 0-90 deg.cThe trans-copolymerized rubber formed by copolymerization of alkene and isoprene in a bulk and synthetic gradient mode has the characteristics of low heat generation, good wear resistance, flex fatigue resistance and the like, and is suitable for dynamic use of rubber products. Chinese patent CN106699966a provides a butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber and a preparation method thereof, specifically discloses that the molecular chain of the copolymer rubber is composed of a butadiene homopolymerization section and a butadiene-isoprene random copolymerization section, the number average molecular weight of the butadiene homopolymerization section is 5 ten thousand-30 ten thousand, the content of cis-1, 4-structure in the butadiene homopolymerization section is not less than 97mol%, and the number average molecular weight of the butadiene-isoprene random copolymerization section is 5 ten thousand-50 ten thousand. The butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber provided has excellent mechanical strength and flex crack resistance.
In the "effect of conversion on high trans-1, 4-butadiene-isoprene rubber Properties" petrochemical industry, 2010, 03), H was studied at different conversions 2 TiCl under adjustment 4 /MgCl 2 The supported catalyst is used for catalyzing and synthesizing the structure and the performance of high trans-1, 4-butadiene-isoprene rubber (TBIR). The results show that: the TBIR generated at the initial stage of polymerization has a longer sequence 1, 4-butadiene (Bd) unit structure, and the length of an isoprene (Ip) segment in the TBIR increases with the increase of the conversion rate. When the Mooney viscosities are similar, the green strength, elongation at break and tensile set of the TBIR all increase with increasing conversion, and the abrasion and rebound resilience of the TBIR vulcanizate Akron increase with increasing conversion. However, as the monomer conversion increases, the wet skid resistance of the TBIR vulcanizate decreases and heat generation increases. When the initial feeding ratio n (Bd) is n (Ip) =0.25, the comprehensive performance of the TBIR vulcanized rubber is optimal when the conversion rate is controlled to be 55% -65%. The TBIR is applied to the tire bead filler in the text of structural characterization of high trans-1, 4-butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber and application research of the high trans-1, 4-butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber in the tire bead filler of a car, high molecular report, 2015.12 (12 phase), so that the mixing cement crystallinity, the green strength and the hardness can be increased, and the vulcanization speed is accelerated; other properties of the blending vulcanized rubber containing TBIR are kept unchanged, compression temperature rise is obviously reduced, and wear resistance and ageing resistance are obviously improved; the compatibility of TBIR and NR is superior to BR. The results indicate NR and TBIRAfter that, the dispersibility of carbon black in the vulcanized rubber is better, about 20 parts of TBIR is applied to the radial tire bead filler of the car, other mechanical properties are kept at a higher level, and meanwhile, the wear resistance, the flex resistance and the ageing resistance are obviously improved, and the compression temperature rise is obviously reduced. The use of a new generation of synthetic rubber-trans-1, 4-butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber (TBIR) in high performance car tire tread stock (solution polymerized styrene butadiene rubber/butadiene rubber, SSBR/BR) and the structure and properties of SSBR/BR/TBIR blends are described in the "Structure and Properties of Trans-1, 4-butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber modified high performance car tire tread stock" high molecular report, 2018, 03. The results show that: TBIR exhibits higher green strength, modulus and toughness due to certain crystallinity relative to amorphous SSBR and BR. 10-20 parts of TBIR and SSBR/BR are used for modification, 30 parts of carbon black and 45 parts of white carbon black are added simultaneously, the green strength and the stretching stress of the SSBR/BR/TBIR rubber compound are improved, the scorch time (tc 10) and the normal vulcanization time (tc 90) are basically kept unchanged, the vulcanized rubber of the SSBR/BR/TBIR rubber compound is excellent in physical and mechanical properties, the tensile fatigue resistance is improved by 4.6-6.3 times, the compression strength is improved by 21.4-23.1%, the wear resistance is improved by 10.8-15.1%, the wet skid resistance is improved by 13.6-40.4%, and the rolling resistance is kept unchanged. Compared with SSBR/BR vulcanized rubber, the dispersion degree of the SSBR/BR/TBIR vulcanized rubber filler is improved by 7.3-14.9%, and the average size of the filler aggregate is reduced by 1.4-2.7 mu m. The high green rubber strength and modulus of the crystallizable TBIR can obviously inhibit aggregation of the filler in the rubber compound, improve the dispersibility of the filler in the vulcanized rubber, and finally contribute to the excellent performances of tensile fatigue resistance, high wear resistance, wet skid resistance, compressive strength, tensile modulus and the like of the SSBR/BR/TBIR vulcanized rubber, and the TBIR is an ideal novel synthetic rubber applied to the tread rubber of the high-performance car tire. In addition, the effect of the relative molecular mass (mooney viscosity) and its distribution on the trans 1, 4-butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber (TBIR) properties was studied in the rubber industry, stage 12 2010, in the "effect of the relative molecular mass and its distribution on the high trans 1, 4-butadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber properties". The results show that: the plasticating and mixing performance of TBIR gradually improves along with the reduction of the Mooney viscosityTBIR mixing difficulty of more than 60 is increased, and processability is deteriorated; the comprehensive physical properties of TBIR are improved along with the increase of the Mooney viscosity, but the improvement effect of the physical properties and dynamic properties of the rubber material is not obvious after the Mooney viscosity is more than 55, and the comprehensive properties of the TBIR rubber material are optimal when the Mooney viscosity is 50-60. The tensile property, abrasion property and heat generating property of TBIR raw rubber and vulcanized rubber which are bimodal relative to molecular mass distribution are better; the flexural resistance of TBIR vulcanized rubber with unimodal molecular mass distribution is greatly improved.
The trans-1, 4-TBIR breaks the structural regularity of the TPI main chain, the crystallinity is obviously reduced, the radial tire belt layer is positioned at the base of the tire, plays a role in tightening the tire body and relieving impact, is a main stress part of the tire, and has the characteristics of good adhesion with steel wires, ageing resistance, low rolling resistance and the like, and the traditional belt layer formula adopts NR as a matrix.
Goodyear reported a high performance tire crown compound containing TBIR, which has a tunneling fatigue resistance of 10 to 100 times that of NR/BR, and is particularly suitable for sidewalls and bead portions having high tunneling fatigue resistance.
Document (HeAihua, polym. Sci.2003,89 (7): 1800-1807) reports that, in the case of a coordination polymerization system, butadiene-isoprene is copolymerized, since butadiene contains two front rails, and isoprene is affected by side methyl steric hindrance, the polymerization rate of butadiene is r (Bd) Ratio of polymerization of isoprene r=5.7 (IP) =0.17; in addition, the Qingdao university of science and technology research shows that the length of the IP chain link in TBIR increases with the increase of the conversion rate, and when the conversion rate is 55-65%, the TBIR is mainly based on the long-chain segment IP. The rubber has high rubber strength, elongation at break and deformation, and the comprehensive performance is optimal. The TBIR synthesis technology is produced by Shandong Dongying Gerui rubber and plastic New Material Co.
In Zhang Jianguo et al ("application of high-ethylene solution-polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber in high-performance tread rubber", "elastomer", 2013, 23 (3): 53-58.) "it is described that the butadiene unit 1, 2-adduct in lithium-based polymerized styrene-butadiene rubber is 62 to 68%, the cis-1, 4 adduct is 6 to 8%, and the trans-T-1, 4 adduct content is 26 to 32%. That is, the content of trans-1, 4-adducts in the polymer obtained by the traditional lithium-catalyzed polymerization of butadiene or isoprene under the regulation of an efficient activator is not higher than 40%.
In US 4451576, it is described that the use of diazonium compounds as regulators, butyl lithium initiates the preparation of polymers with a broad molecular mass distribution of butadiene or butadiene-styrene mixtures, which results in a butadiene polymerization conversion of 100%, a styrene conversion of 80%, a molecular mass distribution index of up to 7 or more, a polymer with a broad molecular embodiment, no branching, low elasticity, low heat generation of the compound mix, and is unsuitable for use in high performance tire silicone formulations; in addition, when the amount of the diazonium compound is more than 1.5 times that of butyllithium, the polymerization rate is extremely slow, and even the monomer is not polymerized.
In summary, the monomer conversion rate of the high trans-1, 4-butadiene-isoprene rubber (TBIR) catalyzed by the coordination supported catalyst is not higher than 65%, but if the monomer conversion rate is improved, the wet skid resistance of the TBIR vulcanized rubber is reduced, the heat generation is increased, and the processability is poor, which is not in accordance with the development requirement of the current high-performance green tire. While studies on trans-polybutadiene-isoprene rubber (BIR) with a block distribution and with a higher content prepared by lithium-based polymerization are not widespread.

2) End-capping reaction: after the polymerization reaction is finished, adding a quantitative polar compound capable of condensing with the polyisoprene active lithium at the tail end of the polymer molecular chain into a polymerization kettle for end-capping reaction, wherein the reaction time is 15-20 min.
3) And (5) condensing and drying: and removing the polymerized glue solution from the polymerization kettle, adding necessary antioxidant, uniformly mixing, condensing by water vapor, and drying to obtain the raw glue.
The diazonium reagent adopted by the invention is hindered amine miaow which has the characteristics of Lewis base, and the hindered amine miaow is not only a regulator of microstructure of lithium polymer, but also a retarder for initiating and polymerizing chain growth by active lithium, namely, the polymerization rate of butadiene or isoprene can be delayed, the purposes that two monomers of butadiene and isoprene are slowly initiated and active chains initiated are slowly grown are achieved, and in the anionic polymerization system, the inhibition or delay of the diazonium reagent to active lithium is random, and the molecular mass of the synthesized polymer is finally provided with wide molecular fraction and wide molecular mass distribution. In addition, in the continuous addition of the divinylbenzene into the polymerization system, the divinylbenzene plays a role of slow branching and long chain branching, the weight average molecular mass of the polymer can be improved, the molecular mass distribution and the distribution fraction of the copolymer are further widened, the melt elasticity and the raw rubber strength of the copolymer are increased, and the subsequent processing of the raw rubber is facilitated. It should be further described that the electron cloud distribution in the molecular structure of divinylbenzene has a much higher polymerization rate than butadiene and isoprene, so that divinylbenzene is not suitable to be added to the initiation or polymerization environment at one time, or divinylbenzene can be rapidly homo-polymerized or aggregated, and the purposes of branching and widening the molecular mass of the copolymer cannot be achieved.
What needs to be further explained is: butadiene is known to those skilled in the art to have a greater polymerization rate than isoprene under normal lithium-based catalysis, and is known in the literature ("research on copolymerization of tetrahydrofuran as a regulator and isoprene", any brilliant, etc., polymer materials of university of major engineering). Describes the rate of polymerization r when THF/NBL=0.5 Bd =2.08,r Ip =0.39, r as the THF usage increases Bd Continue to increase, r Ip And continuing to decrease. In addition, it is reported in U.S. patent No. 4451576 that butadiene can be fully converted by the diazonium reagent, while the conversion of styrene is no higher than 81%. In the polymerization environment of the diazonium reagent of the present invention, it was unexpectedly found that when the molecular ratio of diazonium reagent/NBL (butyllithium) is about 1.4:1, equal mass of butadiene and isoprene are polymerized at 85-95℃respectively, and when the polymerization time is 75min, butadiene can be completely converted, while the conversion of isoprene is 87.4%; when the polymerization time was 90min, isoprene was converted completely. I.e.butadiene in the polymerization system of the invention has a greater polymerization rate than isoprene. That is, most of butadiene is initiated and chain extended first in the earlier stage of polymerization, only a small amount of isoprene is initiated, and when the relative concentration of butadiene is lower and the relative concentration of isoprene is higher in the later stage of copolymerization, the front section of the molecular chain of the copolymer is mainly the block of polybutadiene and a small amount of isoprene is randomly copolymerized with a large amount of butadiene to form a higher block unit of polybutadiene and a trace amount of butadieneA lower polyisoprene micro-block unit; in the latter stages of the polymerization, the molecular chain end segments of the copolymers are predominantly the longer homo-block units of polyisoprene. Namely, the butadiene-isoprene copolymer of the invention belongs to gradient-containing block copolymers which are orderly and gradiently distributed. Copolymers of such molecular configuration are beneficial for compatibility with natural rubber.
The broad distribution polybutadiene-isoprene copolymers of the present invention have some molecular chains that are free of divinylbenzene branching units and some molecular chains that contain multiple branching units.
The preparation of the broad distribution polybutadiene-isoprene copolymer according to the present invention does not require the use of Lewis bases as activators.
In the preparation process of the wide-distribution polybutadiene-isoprene copolymer rubber, the feeding ratio of butadiene, isoprene and divinylbenzene is fixed, the mixed monomer is initiated by butyl lithium in a carbon hydrocarbon solution, the reaction has the characteristics of continuous initiation, chain extension and long-short chain irregular branching, 1, 2-addition and 3, 4-addition in the monomer chain extension are low, trans-1, 4-addition is high, and the polybutadiene micro block and polyisoprene micro block are formed by gradient distribution in the copolymer molecular chain.
