Another object of the present invention is to provide a process for producing the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer.

Still another object of the present invention is to provide a heat-resistant styrenic copolymer produced from the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer composition.

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a heat-resistant styrenic copolymer which comprises 0.07 to 0.2 parts by weight of a mercaptan-based compound per 100 parts by weight of a monomer mixture and the mercaptan-based compound has at least three functional groups Lt; / RTI >

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in detail in order to facilitate understanding of the present invention.

The terms and words used in the present specification and claims should not be construed in an ordinary or dictionary sense and the inventor can properly define the concept of the term to describe its invention in the best possible way It should be construed as meaning and concept consistent with the technical idea of the present invention.

The present invention provides a heat-resistant styrenic copolymer composition capable of producing a heat-resistant styrenic copolymer having a high weight-average molecular weight and capable of improving polymerization conversion.

The heat-resistant styrenic copolymer has been widely applied to special applications such as automobile interior materials, home appliance housings, and the like. In order to obtain such a styrenic copolymer having high heat resistance, a-methylstyrene (AMS) is usually used. However, the? -Methylstyrene is significantly lower than the polymerization temperature of a conventional styrenic copolymer due to a low ceiling temperature There is a problem that the polymerization conversion is largely deteriorated since polymerization is carried out at a temperature. The low polymerization conversion rate is directly related to the deterioration of the productivity, which is a great obstacle to industrial application.

Therefore, in order to easily apply the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer to industry, there is a need to improve the polymerization conversion rate of? -Methylstyrene to increase the productivity, and at the same time, to provide a technique that does not deteriorate the mechanical and chemical properties inherent in the heat resistant styrenic copolymer .

Accordingly, the present invention provides a heat-resistant styrenic copolymer composition capable of producing a heat-resistant styrenic copolymer having a high weight average molecular weight with a high polymerization conversion.

The heat-resistant styrenic copolymer composition according to an embodiment of the present invention comprises 0.07 to 0.2 parts by weight of a mercaptan-based compound per 100 parts by weight of the monomer mixture, and the mercaptan-based compound has at least three functional groups .

In the present invention, the term " at least " represents a minimum value, for example, at least three may represent at least three or more than three.

The term " functional group " in the present invention may denote an atom or an atomic group in a molecule having reactivity under a specific condition, and may be represented generally by a functional atomic group, a functional group or a functional group.

The mercaptan compound may be a compound containing mercaptan or thiol, and the mercaptan may be a compound in which a hydrogen atom of an aliphatic hydrocarbon is substituted with a -SH group.

The mercaptan-based compound according to an embodiment of the present invention may be one having at least three functional groups as described above, and may be a copolymer of a heat-resistant styrenic copolymer finally formed by forming a branched polymerization structure to improve the polymerization conversion ratio The weight average molecular weight can be increased.

Specifically, the mercaptan-based compound may be one or more of trimethylolpropane tris (3-mercaptopropionate) and pentaerythritol tetra (3-mercaptopropionate). As described above, the monomer mixture 100 0.07 to 0.2 part by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the thermostable styrenic copolymer composition. If the mercaptan-based compound is included in an amount outside the above range, the conversion of the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer from the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer composition can not be effectively improved, The weight average molecular weight of the copolymer can not be effectively increased.

The monomer mixture according to one embodiment of the present invention may contain alpha -methylstyrene, acrylonitrile and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone, and specifically, the monomer mixture may contain alpha -methylstyrene in an amount of 60 Wt% to 75 wt%; From 24% to 35% by weight of acrylonitrile; And 1 wt% to 5 wt% of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone.

The above-mentioned alpha-methylstyrene (AMS) is an alkylated styrene compound represented by the following general formula (1), and has excellent heat resistance and impact strength characteristics, and is a chemical intermediate or raw material for imparting heat resistance and impact strength in the production of resins and polymers It may be used as a material.

[Chemical Formula 1]

Figure 112015073178422-pat00001

In the present invention, as described above,? -Methylstyrene has excellent heat resistance and impact strength, thereby imparting excellent heat resistance to the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer finally contained in the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer composition, It can serve to improve the strength. However, since α-methylstyrene has a very low ceiling temperature (Tc, 66 ° C.), when it is subjected to homopolymerization, it is required to carry out the polymerization for a long time at a low temperature. Also, the polymerized polymer is not only unstable, There is a problem that productivity is low. Therefore, the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer composition of the present invention contains acrylonitrile and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone described below together with the above-mentioned? -Methylstyrene to thereby further improve the mechanical and chemical properties, So that the polymerization can be performed more easily.

The term " ceiling temperature " in the present invention means an upper limit value of a temperature range that enables an exothermic reaction to proceed thermodynamically in a reversible reaction. When a substance is at a ceiling temperature, If the depolymerization rate is the same, the depolymerization rate is faster than the polymerization rate, and the polymerization is inhibited, so that the polymerization to the desired polymer can not easily occur.

The monomer mixture may contain 60% by weight to 75% by weight of the? -Methylstyrene as described above. If the? -Methylstyrene is contained in an amount of less than 60% by weight, the effect of improving the heat resistance may be insignificant. When the? -Methylstyrene is contained in an amount exceeding 75% by weight, the acrylonitrile and the N- The content of 2-pyrrolidone is decreased and the effect of improving the polymerization conversion is insignificant. As a result, a weight-average molecular weight reduction due to a low polymerization conversion ratio and a large amount of residual monomer may occur.

The acrylonitrile is a kind of unsaturated nitrile compound and has excellent reactivity and polymerizability, and may be widely used as a raw material for synthetic rubber and synthetic resin.

In the present invention, the acrylonitrile can be easily polymerized by complementing the low ceiling temperature of the? -Methylstyrene, and at the same time, the weight average molecular weight of the thermostable styrenic copolymer finally produced can be increased. Impact strength and chemical resistance of the resin.

The monomer mixture may comprise from 24% to 35% by weight of the acrylonitrile as described above. If the amount of the acrylonitrile is less than 24% by weight, the polymerization may be incomplete and unreacted monomers may be increased, and the finally produced thermostable styrenic copolymer may not have a sufficiently high weight average molecular weight, There is a possibility that the property is deteriorated. On the other hand, when the acrylonitrile is contained in an amount of more than 35% by weight, the content of? -Methylstyrene may be relatively decreased, which may cause a decrease in heat resistance.

N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone is a compound represented by the following general formula (2), and has a characteristic of being able to easily form a polymer because of its excellent reactivity due to double bonds present in the molecule have.

(2)

Figure 112015073178422-pat00002

In the present invention, the N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone has excellent reactivity, so that the low ceiling temperature of? -Methylstyrene is supplemented together with the acrylonitrile to increase the polymerization temperature and increase the polymerization reactivity, It can play a role in making it happen. Thus, the polymerization conversion ratio can be increased without lowering the heat resistance of the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer finally produced.

The monomer mixture may contain 1 wt% to 5 wt% of the N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone as described above. If the content of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone is less than 1% by weight, the effect of improving the polymerization reactivity is insignificant and the effect of improving the polymerization conversion of the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer finally produced may be insignificant. When the vinyl-2-pyrrolidone is contained in an amount of more than 5% by weight, the effect of improving the polymerization reactivity becomes greater and the polymerization conversion ratio of the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer finally produced can be greatly improved. However, (For example, an excessive increase in glass transition temperature) may result in a problem that the above characteristics are deteriorated. Further, the weight-average molecular weight of the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer produced is reduced, and N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone is yellow, which may cause problems due to coloration.

The present invention also provides a process for producing the above heat-resistant styrenic copolymer.

The method according to an embodiment of the present invention includes the step of adding 0.07 part by weight to 0.2 part by weight of a mercaptan compound to 100 parts by weight of a monomer mixture to a polymerization solution containing a monomer mixture, followed by bulk polymerization do.

Specifically, the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer may have a weight average molecular weight (Mw) of 80,000 g / mol to 100,000 g / mol and a polymerization conversion of 65% to 75%.

Herein, the weight average molecular weight is a relative value to a standard polystyrene sample through gel permeation chromatography (GPC) after dissolving the heat-resistant styrenic copolymer in tetrahydrofuran.
